I work with teens, adults, and couples who are struggling with life’s challenges.
Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or depressed? Do you struggle with accepting and appreciating yourself? Perhaps you are struggling with a trauma or in your relationships? Life can offer us sunny, bright warm days that feel unending. Life can also bring days where dark and ominous skies loom overhead, and we need a little support to help us weather the storm. I believe people grow and change when they can take a mindful, accepting inventory of the different facets of themselves, their relationships, and their lives. From this unique place, a person can heal their heart and make informed, impactful changes in their lives.

Are you feeling low on energy and lacking the motivation to do anything? Do you feel tense or “on edge” throughout your day? Maybe you are feeling hopeless and sad but aren't sure exactly why. Do you feel disconnected in your relationships? These problems don’t have to follow you forever. I support my clients in developing improved relationships in their lives, positive mindsets, increased motivation and more. In my practice, I focus on treating the whole person- not just their symptoms.

However, with coaching and practice, social situations, relationships, school and work can be less intimidating. If you're a parent of a child with Autism, receiving a diagnosis of autism shatters a parent’s dreams. You wonder if you child will ever learn to talk, have friends, get a job, or live independently. You need support and advice from a trusted professional who can guide you on this difficulty journey.

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.
