Many of us find ourselves feeling stuck, frustrated or unfulfilled in our relationships, work or life path. Talking to a friend or family member may be a good start but, at times, cannot create a safe, supportive distance to work through what is troubling us. In my clinical work, I offer a safe and supportive environment in which to understand yourself, what's getting in the way in your life now, and explore new ways of coping and understanding life's challenges. I believe real change takes place in the moment-to-moment collaboration between therapist and client.

I use harm reduction techniques to help reduce drinking to healthier levels, and coaching to uncover new interests.
I believe in the innate wisdom of each individual, encouraging self-compassionate curiosity rather than harsh self-judgment. In the words of one of my clients, "I will be forever grateful to her skills as a motivator, her ability to listen compassionately and her unique way of bringing structure to the very frenetic experience of depression and addiction." www.insightoutnyc.com

Together we can find a more rewarding response for troubling life issues.
Therapy offers an opportunity for personal change. In our work together clients build new skills and address emotional challenges. Integrating relational-psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and compassion based therapies helps people develop the life they would like. My work with couples focuses on improving communication, addressing roadblocks and developing new pathways.

Hi and thanks for taking a look at my profile. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially since most of us are doing so during a time of stress or crisis. My approach to therapy is very relational and experiential. I believe that healing and transformation can happen only in the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. It's a huge step to reach out to a therapist for help. I hope I can make it as easy as possible for you and look forward to talking further to see if we're a good therapy match.

I have a diverse background with training in child and adult therapy, nutritional counseling, life coaching, and logotherapy. I am best suited to work people experiencing anxiety and depression. Psychotherapy typically focuses on how our past experiences drive us as adults while coaching is more forward-looking, and focuses on setting goals and looking at obstacles that get in the way of reaching those goals. Logotherapy is geared toward helping people find meaning and purpose in life. Child therapy helps children become more expressive of their emotions and develop more awareness of their strengths and to apply them in life.

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.
