For many, life coaching is a new unknown experience.
The change starts with you! Being aware of past issues may cause unwanted emotions or behaviors that tends to guide your current life. Taking the time to explore these issues in therapy can give you more control over these emotions and behaviors. Additionally, if you are looking to improve mind, body and spirit I have an onsite gym (monthly cash fee only for this tx the workout for the mind, body, and spirit is intense).

My therapeutic approach for practice is a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused therapy to provide education on how individuals’ thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns might affect self-reflecting and relationships with others. Another key element of my practice is to highlight how trauma can affect individuals’ viewpoints toward future goals. I am also fully aware of the importance of tailoring my treatment modalities to meet each individual's specific needs, which is why I use a client-centered approach. Together we will focus on breaking unhelpful patterns that hinder growth and quality of life.

Coaching Therapists
Life coaching is an increasingly popular profession that has no specific licensing or academic requirements. Though psychologists also often consider themselves life coaches, these therapists don't focus on treating mental illness. Instead, they help individuals realise their goals in work and in life.
