It can be reassuring to work with a professional therapist to help clarify our thoughts, who will provide tools to manage concerns and assist in putting a life plan in to action.
Having a restful night's sleep is blissful. I work with clients to manage anxious thoughts that can affect a good night's rest. Anxious thoughts permeate through so many areas of our life including our self-esteem. My hope is that our work together makes my client feel accepted and empowered to live the life they choose for themselves.

Vine Psychology
Psychologist, PsyBA General
Serves Area
My focus is on creating a real sense of connection, helping you feel clearer, more grounded, and better able to navigate life with confidence.
I work with individuals, couples, and teenagers who want to better understand themselves and their relationships. Many come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected - sometimes after holding things together for a long time, or when familiar ways of coping no longer work. They’re often looking for clarity, relief, or a different way forward. In our work together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s been happening, and begin to find a path that feels steadier, more meaningful, and more aligned with who you are.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
