Work With Me

One-on-one video sessions for people stuck between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

Health, Work, Habits, Decisions.

Single sessions or ongoing support, built around what’s actually in your way. 

The gap

You’ve read the books, made the plans, set the goals - and something still isn’t moving. 

Most people don’t need more information.  They need to find the pattern that’s keeping them stuck.  That’s an implementation gap, not a willpower issue.  Patterns can be found and changed. 

Imperfect Odyssey is a troubleshooting space for that gap. 

What a troubleshooting session is

We won’t spend months analyzing the past for its own sake, and we won’t sell you motivation you can’t sustain.  We identify the block, choose the next move, and build the system to do it.

Accountability, habit design, obstacle mapping, and follow-through systems. 

  • We start with the stuck point, not the goal.

    You bring the real thing from this week, not the ideal version. 

  • We work backward to find the pattern. 

    Not willpower, not laziness.  The actual loop that’s keeping it in place. 

  • You leave with one next action.

    Not a 10-step plan.  One thing you can test before we talk again. 

Examples I hear a lot

  • Putting off booking your own doctor or dentist for months while you handle appointments for everyone else

  • Setting an alarm to get to bed after a late shift, then scrolling until 2 am because it’s the only time the house is quiet

  • Cleaning the whole kitchen but leaving the mail pile or that one junk drawer untouched because it feels heavier

  • Saying yes to cover an extra shift or take a last-minute job, then feeling burned out and resentful the whole time

If any of those feel familiar, you’re in the right place. 

Start with a fit check

This is a specific type of coaching.  Not every stuck point is a fit for a troubleshooting session. 

Before we book a paid session, send me one sentence about what’s stuck using the contact info on the last page.  I’ll reply within 1 business day and let you know if this is the right next step.  If it is, I’ll send you the booking link.

For a quick reply, email is best.  If you text, include your stuck point so I can respond with next steps instead of playing phone tag. 

No drop-in calls.  I don’t take unscheduled calls so I can protect session time for current clients.  Leave a voicemail only if we’ve already connected by email or text.

Coaching, not therapy

This work is forward-focused and practical.  I draw on my clinical background, but these sessions are not therapy and do not treat mental health conditions. 

If you are looking for therapy, I’m glad to point you toward that kind of support instead. 

Why I work
this way

I bring a counselor’s training (LPC, Louisiana), a health coach certification, and years in management, but this work is coaching, not therapy. 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Coaching is for stuck points where you’re functional but not moving.  If you can get out of bed, go to work, and handle your life, but one specific pattern keeps stalling, coaching fits.  If you’re dealing with trauma, diagnosis, depression, anxiety that interferes with daily life, or you need mental health treatment, that’s therapy.  If you send your stuck point and I think therapy would serve you better, I’ll tell you directly and help you find referrals. 

  • One sentence about what’s stuck.  Not your life story.  Examples: “I keep planning to Meal prep on Sunday and end up ordering takeout every night” or “I say yes to every shift then feel resentful and burned out.”  That’s enough for me to tell you if a troubleshooting session is the right next step. 

  • Within 1 business day, Monday through Friday.  If it’s a fit, I’ll send you the booking link.  If it’s not, I’ll tell you why and point you toward what is. 

  • Because not every issue fits this method.  A 70 minute troubleshooting session works when the problem is specific and behavioral.  If you need long-term support, diagnosis, or crisis help, booking you into coaching wastes your time and money.  The fit check protects both of us. 

  • We start with the stuck point you sent.  We map the context around it, find the pattern that keeps looping, and design one small experiment you can actually do this week.  You leave with that next action.  Not homework.  Not a 10-step plan. 

  • Video call.  You’ll get a private link after booking.  Phone is only for brief fit-check calls if we’ve already connected by email.

  • No.  All sessions are private pay.  Payment is due at booking via Square. 

  • Reschedule or cancel with 24 hours’ notice.  Late cancels and no-shows are billed at the full session rate.  For the 3-session package, a missed session counts as one used session. 

  • Single session:  one pattern, one next action.  Good when you’re clear on the block.

    Package:  three sessions to use within 6 weeks.  Good when you want to test, adjust, and build the new pattern with accountability.  Includes brief check-ins between calls if you get stuck.

  • Coaching is not a medical or mental health service, so it’s usually not HSA or FSA eligible.  Check with your plan administrator. 

  • Yes.  Coaching is not licensed therapy, so there are no state restrictions.  If you’re outside the US, we’ll confirm time zones work before booking. 

  • Send that.  “I feel stuck and don’t know where to start” is a valid first email.  I’ll ask 1 to 2 questions back to find the thread we can pull on.  If it’s too broad for a 70-minute session, I’ll tell you. 

  • Yes, but not with shame or rigid checklists.  Accountability here means we design the next action you agreed to, and we look at what happened with it next time.  If it didn’t work, we troubleshoot why.  The goal is data, not discipline.
