I have experienced Life at its best and at its worse; and I will bring to our sessions my unconditional regard, life experiences, academic knowledge and my human empathy.
Now we, as a community, are moving into a new phase of living. I want to use my training to help my clients find their peace and strength to survive these trying and stressful times. My ideal client is someone who wants to explore their “negative” stories about themselves; explore your anxiety or find clarity of what they want in romantic relationships. As an employee at Process Therapy Institute, I have access to many compassionate and wise therapists to share their wisdom.

Along with my own life experiences, & years of coaching & teaching, I have a Master's in Special Education & am a graduate of an extensive ADHD Coaching/Specialist program.
Awareness is the first step. Our "symptoms" flare when we are in a state of unrest. Environments, co-existing conditions, sleep, nutrition, lack of exercise, and many other reasons can trigger these. Our support is guided by finding where the unrest lies, unpacking it, and then co-creating strategic solutions for each client's unique characteristics and situations. I use a variety of tools for reflection, discovery of strengths/challenges, meditation, and even exercise. One of the most important tools we bring is having a trained ADHD lens to look through when supporting one with ADHD.

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.
