PRIVATE LIFE COACHING · PHOENIX, SCOTTSDALE & ONLINE
This is where we change it.
You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe gone to therapy. Private coaching is where insight becomes something you can actually use.
The insight of therapy, with the momentum of coaching. You don't need more information. You need transformation.
Is this right for you?
Who private coaching is for.
This is for you if
- Your life looks successful from the outside, but something inside doesn't feel right.
- You've read the books or done therapy, and you still keep landing in the same place.
- You keep repeating patterns in your relationships, at work or with yourself.
- You want a direct, practical approach, not years of talking in circles.
- You're ready to participate and do the work between sessions.
This isn't the right fit if
- You're in crisis or need mental health treatment. I'll help you find the right support.
- You're looking for a diagnosis or an evaluation.
- You want someone else to fix things for you.
- You're not ready to put time into the work between sessions.
My approach
Get to the root. Then change it, faster.
Most people already know what's wrong. What they need is a way to get underneath it and actually change it. My work brings together two things:
THE FRAMEWORK
The Maxx Method™
A six-step framework that gets to the roots of every issue: what's happening inside you, what you're feeling, what you're telling yourself, where it comes from, what you actually want and what you're going to do about it.
THE FASTER WAY TO CHANGE
Resolve & Rewire™
A way to process and resolve what's still unresolved from the past, and rewire the limiting beliefs attached to it, so change happens much quicker than talking about it ever could.
The insight of therapy. The momentum of coaching.
Not a one-size-fits-all program
Because you're not a one-size-fits-all person.
I don't take every client through the same exercises, in the same order, on the same timeline. Your coaching is built around what you're struggling with, what we discover along the way and the results you want.
Many clients later invite their partner into a session, when it would help the work.
We work as a team
I want your feedback: the good, the bad and the ugly.
I'm not interested in defending a technique simply because I like it. My mission is to help you get the results you came here for. I'll bring my experience, tools and honesty. You bring your experience of being you.
But ultimately, you're in control.
- Tell me what's working, and what isn't.
- Tell me when an exercise really resonates.
- Tell me when you want to go deeper.
- Tell me if I'm going too fast. We go at your pace.
- And especially, tell me if you don't feel like you're making progress.
Between sessions
Your real life is where the work becomes real.
Personalized work after each session
I'll email you simple, customized work based on exactly what we covered. Usually about a page. Not a generic workbook, and not busywork.
You don't disappear from my radar
If something comes up between sessions, email, text or call me. A difficult conversation. A boundary you actually set. Those moments matter.
How it works
Three simple steps.
01
Book a free 20-minute call
Tell me what's going on and what you want to change. We'll decide together whether working with me is the right fit.
02
We build your plan
If we move forward, we'll set your goals and your schedule. Pay in full or choose the payment plan.
03
We do the work
Ten private sessions, personalized work between them and support when something comes up.
You leave with tools you'll use for the rest of your life.
What's included
What working together looks like.
- 10 private sessions. One-on-one, 60 minutes each. Usually weekly at first, then every other week as you progress.
- Usually 3 months. Enough time for meaningful change while keeping the work focused.
- Personalized work emailed after sessions.
- Support between sessions by email, text or call.
- In person or online. My Phoenix office, close to Scottsdale, or Zoom wherever you are.

Private Intensives
Some work benefits from momentum. Instead of stopping when the hour is up, an intensive gives us two to four hours together, with a break in between, so we can stay with something long enough to really shift it. It's an ideal setting for Resolve & Rewire™.
Intensives can stand on their own or be built into your coaching to speed up your progress. Available in my Phoenix office or online.

What I'll bring
- 26 years of listening to what's really happening beneath the surface
- Help seeing patterns you can't see from inside them
- Practical tools you'll use for a lifetime
- Honesty, even when it's not what you expected to hear
- A promise not to waste your time or your money
What I'll ask of you
- A willingness to participate
- Curiosity about yourself

- Gradually taking more ownership of the work
The goal isn't for you to depend on me. It's for you to navigate your own life differently.
Client stories
Real people. Real change.
“This was the most important investment I've ever made in myself… I've been to traditional talk therapists, read a lot of books, listened to podcasts, meditated… deep down I knew I was still suffering. Her method is brilliant. Her ability to hold space is divine. I had a breakthrough moment every session.”
“I have done counseling in the past and it never seemed to go anywhere. 10 sessions with Christy and I have found the strong, capable woman that got lost along the way. I want to shout from a mountain top! I'M BACK!!”
“Christy helped me identify tendencies like people-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries, and she guided me in building the tools I needed to manage them. The process gave me renewed confidence.”
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
How is coaching different from therapy?
Coaching doesn't diagnose, evaluate or treat mental health conditions. Instead of treating a diagnosis, we focus on how your past is affecting your present, and on changing it. The work is focused and goal-oriented, so many clients move forward faster. If you need mental health treatment, I'll help you find it.
I've already done therapy. Why would this be different?
Many of my clients have. They understand where their patterns came from, but they still repeat them. Our work starts where insight leaves off: turning what you know into how you actually respond, using the Maxx Method™ and, when it fits, Resolve & Rewire™.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. I keep what you share private, the same standard I held for more than 20 years as a therapist. The only exceptions are rare situations where someone's safety is at risk.
Does coaching work as well online?
Yes. Zoom sessions work the same way as sessions in my Phoenix office, and many clients appreciate meeting from wherever they are.
What does the payment plan look like?
You can pay in full or spread the $4,000 across the program in installments. We'll go over the details on your free call.
What if we're not a good fit?
That's what the free call is for. If I don't think I'm the right person to help you, I'll tell you, and I'll do my best to point you in the right direction.
Ready to begin?
True change doesn't happen when you try harder. It happens when you understand yourself.
You don't need to decide on a $4,000 investment before we've spoken. Choose the first step that feels right to you.
