As a therapist, I work with you to help identify your desires and empower you to make those positive changes in your life. I understand that making the decision to seek help can be difficult, so I use an approach that is compassionate and non-judgmental to help create an environment where you feel supported and safe in your journey to a better life. Anxiety and depression are daily reminders that we live in an ever- changing and tough world. If you are experiencing problems due to stress, anxiety, depression, divorce, grief, illnesses or work related or school related issues, please call me and we will walk this journey together.

I aim to emotionally hold my clients’ stories and help them gain awareness of their life, by reflecting on what experiences have shaped them into who they currently are, in order for them to reach their future goals. Truly, I believe that counseling is a space filled with the promise of healing; however, I understand the first step in the process of sharing takes untold bravery and I aim to create a safe and trusting environment where clients feel comfortable to disclose issues related to relationships, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and trauma in a supportive space where we will work collaboratively towards healing.

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.
