Let’s find you holistic solutions to life’s stressors.
A few of you have developed unusual sensory sensitivities, often following a medical crisis, near-death, spiritual or anomalous experience. Some of you feel your perceptions and worldview have shifted. You may need help making sense of these experiences, and integrating a new sense of self into your life. Grounded in science, I specialize in such phenomena.

I believe that true healing happens when we look within ourselves and learn to accept who we are as a person. As we learn to minimize our weaknesses by recognizing our strengths, we grow in the process.

I believe wholeness consists of 4 intertwined areas of health: spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. My desire is to assist you in achieving and thriving at your greatest potential. What is keeping you from being who you were designed to be? Maybe you've hit a few bumps in the road and have lost your footing or your path. Maybe its a lot of bumps, or maybe they are hills or even mountains. It is in those seasons we need a fresh set of eyes, renewed inspiration, and motivational encouragement to help us get back on track.

To help clients have balance and fulfillment in their everyday life
Relationships should be where we find love, safety, and fulfillment. It is terrifying and heartbreaking to think that your marriage or relationship with a loved one might end. There is a distance between you and your spouse that can no longer be ignored. Your family needs help to build and improve your connection with one another. Feeling desperate for a solution. You want so much more for yourself, your family, and/or your marriage.

I have always been drawn to spaces that feel creative, comforting, and real—while still grounded in solid clinical training. After years of learning the "why" behind what helps people heal, I set out to create a space that blends that knowledge with a refreshing, down-to-earth approach. Because let’s be honest—deciding to sit down and unpack your struggles with someone is already hard enough. I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel like a chore or a cold clinical experience. Instead, it can be natural, even enjoyable. A place where heavy conversations are held with care, and a little levity is welcome.

As a Certified Marriage & Family Therapist and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I offer compassionate, open-minded, non-judgmental counseling in a safe, supportive space to help you explore and overcome life’s struggles.
When our thinking becomes blurred, our behaviors will be altered, consequently affecting the people around us, and beyond; we suffer, and so do our loved ones. Sadly, for a long-time people have avoided seeking help because of the stigma attached. Fortunately, this thought process is changing; more people are getting help rather than suffering needlessly.

My areas of specialty include attachment-related concerns, self-development, and life transitions.
It can feel like the world is spinning faster every day, there’s always “breaking news,” another crisis, and another reason to feel stressed or uncertain. It’s no wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. Sometimes, it helps to have a space where you can pause, breathe, and make sense of it all.

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.
