My intention as a therapist is to be your guide on your journey to healing. I believe everyone has the ability to heal and create the life they have always dreamed of. Many times we have unconscious blocks that keep us from living the life we want. These "blocks" are often unhealed wounds that cause individuals to have negative beliefs, anxiety, depression, and even physical symptoms. I can assist you in identifying these blocks and restoring the natural balance with your mind, body, and spirit.

I have close to twenty years of experience working with people who struggle with Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress, and challenges adjusting to changes in life circumstances.
We all reach the limits of our own ability to cope, our own supports, and our own usual ways of thinking and responding. When this happens it’s not uncommon to fall into behavioral patterns and symptoms - depression, anxiety and compulsive behaviors. We forget our own strengths and don’t realize our own capacity to heal. Things just seem impossible. Our thoughts race and we can’t sleep.

Are you experiencing a constant state of unease, with anxiety, restlessness, and a racing mind? You may feel like you are struggling to maintain control in a chaotic and turbulent world. This tension can lead to headaches, fatigue, lack of focus, and indecisiveness.

"Aha!Tales" is a process which is designed to help us become more aware of the Aha! Moments in our lives, our life stories. Using the awareness of these moments we are able to explore options for change and healing. Using the systemic belief that we are part of a larger system that affects our choices in life, family rules and roles are explored through our stories.

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.
