Ways to work with me
Everything starts with a conversation. Here’s what it can look like from there.

Free Discovery Session
30 minutes · Free · Where everything starts
You might have questions. Will coaching actually help me? Am I the right kind of client? Is Patty the right kind of coach for what I need?
The discovery session is how we find out. We’ll talk about where you are, what’s not working, and what you’re hoping for. I’ll tell you honestly whether I think I can help, and we’ll see if the fit feels right.
1:1 Private Coaching
Three- and six-month engagements · For those ready to go deep
Every client is different. Some people need a few small, precise moves and it changes everything else. Other people are working toward bigger, longer-term changes that take more time to unfold. After our discovery session, I’ll suggest an approach that fits based on where you are and what you need.
Private coaching is for people who know they’re ready to do real work, and they want to do more than just talk about it. We will meet regularly over three or six months, with each session building on the previous one. We’ll track what’s shifting, and adjust as we go.
No one-size-fits-all programs. No branded workbook. No pre-built curriculum. This is about giving focused attention to you, providing honest feedback, and holding you accountable to what you say you want. I will not let you stay comfortable when comfortable is what’s keeping you uncomfortably stuck.The good thing about group coaching is that you realize you’re not alone. Other people are navigating different versions of the same thing. The conversations that happen in a well-held group often unlock things that individual coaching can take longer to reach. I run small cohorts that are never more than eight people. This way, everyone gets real attention.
Workshops & Organizational Work
Custom engagements · For organizations and teams
I work with nonprofits, foundations, and progressive organizations on workshops and team coaching. Every engagement is designed for your specific team and situation, not a slide deck I pull out of a drawer. These engagements are usually focused on burnout, resilience, mindfulness, strengths, and identity in the workplace.
We start with a conversation about what’s actually going on, what you want to shift, and what would make this genuinely useful. Past topics have included: moving from burnout to sustainability, mindfulness for organizations, and using strengths frameworks to improve how teams work together.
Group Coaching
Small cohorts · Peer support meets professional coaching
With group coaching, I bring together a small number of people working through similar challenges for structured coaching sessions in a group setting. The specific challenges at work might be transition, burnout, leadership, or identity. Each group has its own theme.
