Through life’s experiences, I have learned that our pain is never wasted and identify as a wounded healer whose purpose is to live out Isaiah 61:1-3. I seek to connect with my clients in a compassionate way to work collaboratively in the counseling process. I work with women, young adults, couples, families, children, and adolescents. I am passionate about helping children and teenagers express their emotions and understand their own mental health. I understand that it is important to work with the family system as well and incorporate parents and caregivers in the process as needed.

Life is a journey and everyone's trial and tribulations are different. In life, it is inevitable that change occurs and that can be an overwhelming venture to embark on alone. I can be a tool and a resource for you during your time of need. I am passionate about helping others; it is a calling in my life. As Elisabeth Kubler-Ross stated, "Beautiful people do not just happen." Ross's statement has always sparked a fire within me, as I know from personal and professional experience that strength comes from within and growth comes from pain, sometimes we just need a little help.

Although my expertise covers a wide range of mental health areas, my focus has been on adolescents and families experiencing problems with adapting to life challenges. I have often worked with children and adolescents on couples and families on relationship issues and life transitions. Relationships grow and evolve as individuals move to different stages of life. Maintaining healthy relationships during times of change requires focused attention on individual and family systems needs. Life goals and long term aspirations can be distorted by near term priorities.

Are you a woman who is at a crossroads in your life, feeling like something is missing, but you can’t quite put your finger on it? You’re ambitious and want more out of life, but you feel you have reached a point of stagnation and don’t know where to go from here. Despite achieving certain personal or professional milestones, you are left feeling unfulfilled and questioning whether you are on the right path. Maybe a big life change—a breakup, job change, change in family dynamic, or a move—has highlighted the fact that you’re still not as happy as you want to be and your old ways of coping aren’t as effective as they used to be.

I firmly believe in the capacity of human resilience, and the potential to build a balanced life. Life can present itself with unpredictable situations that may prevent us from reaching our full potential; in these moments seeking help can be beneficial. Having a compassionate, nonjudgmental counselor assist you through this transition can help clarify confusion, gain insight regarding your pain, and return your life to balance.

ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY Therapist… If you've decided to seek help and you're entrusting a therapist with your most personal concerns, it is vitally important that the fit be right. Hope and relief come sooner when you find a therapist you feel comfortable with and has the experience you need. I have been in the ministry of helping individuals, families and couples most of my adult life. I balance the concerns you have while also ministering. I strive to meet people where they are, help them understand their strengths, and aid in the empowerment of taking charge of and developing their lives.

Congratulations on taking the first step to seeking assistance. Choosing a therapist is an extremely important part of your journey, so let me introduce myself. I am a graduate of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Since graduating, I have focused on the children/adolescent population in talk therapy and play therapy. Play therapy is a style of counseling that provides a safe place to express self through the natural communication of the age group/stage child is in. Play therapy affords the opportunity to teach coping skills and concepts on that same communication level.

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.
