About Alan

Outside of his coaching practice, Alan loves spending time outdoors—landscaping, mowing, and cooking on his smoker. More than anything, Alan finds his ultimate fulfillment in helping people live their best lives, whether they are members of his own family or the clients he has the privilege to coach.
Understanding Life Coaching
Many people wonder how coaching differs from traditional therapy. While clinical counseling at Bridge of Hope focuses on navigating emotional upheaval, processing negative emotions, and treating mental health conditions, Life Coaching focuses on the present and the future.
Coaching is a forward-moving, goal-oriented partnership designed to help you build actionable strategies, break through personal roadblocks, and maintain long-term accountability.
(Note: Because life coaching focuses on future strategy rather than clinical therapy, it is a non-clinical service and is typically not covered by health insurance plans.)
