The pressures of life cover over this aliveness, and we can begin to feel disconnected and alone.
A different type of therapy, for the body, mind, and soul. Have you tried therapy before, only to find "just talking about things" doesn't seem to shift the anxiety, loneliness, pain, and relationship challenges you are trying to heal? Maybe you are tired of your routine – using the same strategies day after day to curb the feelings that lie just beneath the surface. Ignoring these signals can lead to a chronic disconnection from our body and mind as we grow older. When trauma and stress compound the issue, we may lose intimacy with our own feelings, wants, and desires.

Challenges don’t disappear with therapy, and therapy is a commitment, but finding your own inner strength makes life’s ups and downs manageable and meaningful.
I am currently accepting clients ages 3-10 AND 20-65 who deal with depression and anxiety. I creatively support gender and racially diverse clients, including students, mamas, papas, children, and adults making life transitions. I love working in nature with art, stories, and metaphors. My clients often deal with grief, lack of confidence, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and boundaries. In therapy, we take these wounds and uncover their “Golden Shadow.”

Finding someone who is present for YOU, no matter what life brings, will help you be your best self.
The most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Non-judgment. Trust. Compassion. Acceptance. I encourage clients to work from within this space, creating a curiosity towards the innate workings of the self. "The curious paradox of life is that once I accept myself as I am, it is then I can change." Carl Rogers

Have you ever felt like traditional talk therapy, while helpful, just doesn't resonate with you? Maybe the idea of sitting in an office with a stranger staring at you makes you feel uncomfortable or even anxious? Perhaps the environment you feel most comfortable in is the outdoors, out under the open space with the natural environment available to you. If any of these scenarios feel like they could potentially be true for you, perhaps equine facilitated psychotherapy could be a therapeutic fit.

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.
