How coachable are you? Consider that: you could achieve more, be happier, deal more effectively with the daily challenges of life. What if your only job in life was to be content and satisfied? Transformational Life Coaching helps you to deal more effectively with the daily concerns that cause suffering in many forms: depression, anxiety, angst, anger, substance use, lack of aliveness and energy, chronic fatigue, poor self-care, co-dependence, underachieving (lack of productivity and accomplishment), poor self-expression, and low self-esteem. Put an end to your suffering. Transform yourself and your experience of life.

Are you suffering from anxiety, depression or the aftermath of trauma? Do you struggle with painful patterns in your life that persist despite your best efforts toward change? Are you nervous to try therapy because of the expense and exposure? Have strong effort and promising insights in previous therapy failed to bring you relief? Are you struggling with a difficult child or teenager and feeling like your good intentions and best efforts are not reaching them? Traditional, insight-oriented therapy may help with such challenges--but if not, behavioral therapy may help, regardless of success with mental insight and understanding.

I enjoy working with many types of relationships, couples and individuals, folks with alternative lifestyles and identities. I have experience working with the Davis community and UCD faculty, staff and students for over seven years, as well as two years experience working at The Gender Health Center in Sacramento.
