My goal is to meet my clients where they are, agree on a direction we can take together, and start down a path of healing and improved wellness and life satisfaction.
Adults are facing unique challenges as they navigate today’s world. Whether they are trying to manage the stress of changes at work and home, parenting in an ever-changing society, or trying to adjust to identity changes during midlife, people are realizing that support helps. Many people - especially men - have begun discovering that the education and skill-building that comes from therapeutic support is helpful; others are considering therapy for the first time. I've worked as a therapist for over 30 years. Wherever you are in your thinking, I am here to help you decide whether therapy is something you want to explore.

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.
