But it can also be life changing.
Sometimes we feel stuck. When we realize staying where we are isn't working, this can be a sign that it is time for positive change. If you're struggling with managing your thoughts and emotions, or maybe experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions - therapy offers you a safe space to talk, and support in finding growth and healing.

Hi! Are you feeling spread thin between all of your responsibilities and obligations? Is your stress level maxed out? I would love to help. I have a special interest in helping individuals finding themselves in narcissistic relationships. I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Mary Hardin-Baylor in 2006. I was then a stay at home parent for ten years before pursuing higher education. I take a Bowenian based approach and feel we all have the power within ourselves to live life to our full potential when ready to put the work in to do so.

Once I started to see the transformation IFS brought into my life, I began to introduce it to my clients.
Are you constantly contradicting yourself? A part of you wants to grow and transform into your “true” self, but then you feel as though you are self-sabotaging again. You question how you can work on yourself when you are the one preventing the growth. Pablo Neruda’s poem "We Are Many" describes the internal conflict that many of us feel. As a psychotherapist, I noticed that my clients needed something more than just traditional talk therapy. This realization led me to become a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist to help people “befriend” the internal conflict and embrace it with love and compassion.

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.
