Life is very much like driving a car. We can't only focus on the destination, and we can't stare into the rearview mirror. Either of these actions would cause an accident, and most certainly distract us from our main goal - keeping our eyes on the road! In my practice, I take on the GPS role. The driver and the GPS are a team. This is where therapy is so helpful. The relationship between the client and the therapist is a most powerful one, involving trust and collaboration, whereby the client feels safe and supported.

My main practice is with adolescents, adults, and older adults in which I provide a range of trauma informed mental health and substance abuse services to help guide those I serve back to a life of independence, happiness, safety, and dignity.
My natural focus is on individuals experiencing symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I believe that making a strong connection right from the start is important and when an individual feels like he or she is understood, he or she is more willing to give the process of change a try. It also helps when those who experience ADHD or ASD are able to accept that what they are living with is not a disability but rather a strength and that it is okay to feel and be different. I say this from experience because I am childhood diagnosed.

Life brings many transitions, different relationships and hurdles but remembering any journey begins with taking the first step, allows us to achieve much more than we ever anticipated.
We all want to be our best self. As different and one-of a kind as we are, we all want similar things; to reach our goals and be happy. Having the ability to be more positive, forgiving, successful, valuable and loving are just a few things we desire. Finding the courage to speak our minds, feeling connected to each other, discovering what our hearts are searching for and remaining determined is something we all strive for. At the end of the day, we desire a sense of belonging, self-worth and the ability to have radical compassion.

I have 24 years experience in areas of anxiety, depression, coping skills, trauma, family dynamics, co-parenting, life transitions, grief and loss, self-esteem/identity and peer relationships. I balance empathetic listening and validation with a gentle nudge when it is time to do the work needed to make progress. Treatment will be tailored to your needs and may include Strength-Based, Solution-Focused, Attachment Based, and Mindful Practice modalities, among others. Mindfulness is not just telling clients to “take a deep breath”. It's more about learning coping strategies and making trauma-sensitive choices.

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.
