For some, understanding the connection between early adverse experiences and current life difficulties is an important step on the journey to healing; for others, the goal is to strengthen coping and resiliency skills.
Most people seeking help want a therapist or coach who is a good listener, someone who is empathetic and can tailor the therapeutic approach to match their individual needs, challenges and goals. You will find these values and behaviors reflected in my work. My priorities are to gain trust, create a strong partnership and build upon your strengths, talents and skills. If you or a loved one is struggling with depression or anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions; experiencing stress, loss or a crisis; or feel burdened by a physical health concern such as Alzheimer’s Disease, you are not alone.

In life we are often faced with life altering events that create a rollercoaster of emotions, leading to you feeling unbalanced and not in control of your life. You may even have a vision of the goals you want to achieve, but due to life circumstances your goals seems more impossible to achieve. I would like for you to know that "You are not alone". Sometimes having a safe space to work through life's trauma is what you need to get life back on track. Allow me to join you on your journey as you rediscover your true potential, restore your purpose, and live the life that you were truly meant to live.

Life stressors can be overwhelming and life changing. And change is not always easy. Stress can be overwhelming and quickly take over our lives. Stress is often the start pointing of depression and anxiety. Stress makes it difficult to set boundaries, participate in self-care, communicate, and several other factors that drive our life forward. We often find ourselves with a deficit in more than one area of life. It is important to identify and process out the source of the stress be it physical health, trauma, spiritual, family, social, career, finances, or romantic relationships.

Struggling with “living life on life’s terms”? With all the stressors that arise while we are attempting to ‘adult’, sometimes we need a listening ear, fresh ideas, or a push in a new direction. If it’s true that it takes a village to raise a child, then shouldn’t we build a stronger village? If everyday life has you stressed, overwhelmed, confused and hopeless, and in need of a new direction or fresh start, perhaps embarking on a journey of skill building, goal setting and new direction will give you purpose and the energy to improve your current situation.

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.
