Life Coaching
Sometimes we need support, but it isn’t about our mental health. There is a whole world of challenges out there, and possibilities, that don’t have to be tied to clinical need. Do you feel like you can’t get out of your way? Like something is standing between you and the things you need to do, or the life you want to be living? Maybe you’re not sure how to even find a life based on what you want, and not just survival. Are relationships just not going the way you thought they would?
Coaching might be the service for you!
Different Coaching Focuses
Oh no, what do I pick?!
Breathe, you don’t have to! Below are just a few descriptions of the ways that I specialize and work in coaching. Think about it as food for thought.
Life coaching:
“I’m not sure where to start, but things just aren’t going the way I thought…or the way I want.”
Sometimes, we walk into a restaurant, sit down, and know exactly what we want to order. Maybe we don’t even need a menu, we are going right for our favorite. And sometimes, we don’t even know where to begin. If you’re looking at our specific niche services and are not sure how they line up with your needs, there’s no worry! Our general life coaching services are here for when you know there is something to work on, but aren’t quite sure how to put it into words yet. Whether you aren’t sure where to specifically start, or you know that you need a more well rounded approach, our general focus life coaching might be right for you.
Relational coaching:
If you’ve ever found yourself why relationships don’t feel as comfortable as you thought they might, if you have negative associations with relationships, or challenges communicating with other or asserting yourself, relational coaching is a great place to focus. Contrary to most peoples’ first guesses, this is not just about romantic relationships. From your work relationships, to familial and friendships, we are in ‘relationships’ all the time. If you want to find more fulfillment and comfort in yours, let’s talk. (Scroll down to plans and pricing to see how your pets also factor into relational coaching!)
REBT/CBT coaching
This coaching style is based on interventions and mindset right from therapeutic CBT/REBT. The focus is different than therapy, as we are not exploring past so much as present, and instead we are using some of these same thought principles and patterns, and interventions, to help you tackle the challenges that are different than mental health challenges. Seem stuck in a pattern of negativity or self limiting beliefs? Is the story in your head always ‘this is awful’? I got you.

Life is Ruff!
Training/Coaching combo package
As a human involved in rescuing animals, I know it’s as rewarding as it can be challenging. You brought a new dog home. You saved them from a shelter or sad life, and you love them so much. But… maybe they have some behaviors you don’t love. Maybe they’re struggling to settle into home life. And maybe YOU are struggling to adapt with this new dynamic. Are you worried that crate training will make them sad? If they have separation anxiety, how is it impacting you as their human?
In this package, you’ll work on assertiveness and confidence skills with Christina, and pair with experienced, loving, educated dog trainer Nicole of K9 Train Station, to help train your dog. So often we both find that it’s not just the dog, it’s not just the owner, it’s the relationship between them that needs work. We got you, and your pup!
What’s involved:
2 session per month with Nicole focussed on dog training skills
An individualized dog training plan
2 sessions per month with Christina focused on pet parent anxiety management, emotional regulation skills, reasonable expectations, etc.
An individualized coaching plan
Text and email support during office hours.
