"I had reached a frustrating stalemate with myself when I decided to find a coach to help guide me through thoughts and feelings around choosing a graduate program and life path. I felt overwhelmed and bogged down in details: was I making the "responsible" decision? Was I thinking practically? Mary helped me understand my truth and ease the distinct and powerful fear that came with choosing what I deeply wanted. At the end of three sessions, I felt the clarity I had yearned for when I reached out to her. She helped me better understand what my fear was trying to communicate, how to work with that fear and not shut it out, and how to contextualize it so that I could acknowledge and move past it with confidence. I now have a very clear path forward pursuing what I've wanted my whole life, but never allowed myself. I am so grateful to Mary for her patience, humor, kindness, and leadership. She was a pleasure to work with, and would (and will!) happily recommend her to anyone struggling with a decision."
