If depression, anxiety, or other significant life events occur, all aspects of life can seem out of control.
My mission is to empower and educate. As a Board Certified Professional Counselor, I enjoy building relationships with my clients and helping them achieve their goals. Once they discover their inner strength and learn some tools to face life's challenges with confidence and competence, clients find themselves more satisfied with who they are, where they are going, and how to get there. My wide range of experience and knowledge has given me the freedom to utilize many therapeutic approaches that can help clients resolve their issues. I have over 20 years of experience.

There are basic truths of human psychology that most people understand intuitively. We do not fully know ourselves; the things we do not know can cause suffering. There is a benefit to self-awareness. I will support you as you develop your innate capacity to be with your own life, just as it is, and assist as you develop more effective strategies for living joyfully and with compassion for yourself as well as others. As we bring together your sense of yourself in past, present and future states, feelings of organization and coherence develop. Choice is restored.

My specialities include anxiety, depression, shift worker syndrome, athlete stressors and injuries, teen issues, life changes, grief, and trauma.
In my practice, I base my treatment on solution focused therapy, strength based, goal-focuses as well as cognitive-behavioral therapy to help my clients achieve long-term success in confronting their challenges. However, I value your time and understand that no two clients are the same, therefore I create a plan based on the needs of each client. My practice is unique because I am straight forward with my clients so they understand the steps that they may need to take to be successful while empathizing with their situation. No matter what stage of support or healing you may be in, I'll always meet you exactly where you are. ​

Enjoying third career immensely since 1984 (former Kindergarten teacher, restauranteur). I am particularly delighted to have been trained initially in psychoanalysis and behavior modification, then later systemically and eclectically - by focusing on a person's strengths more than their weaknesses ("mental illness") we can more likely find (a) satisfactory solution(s). Main strengths - marital (relationships), drug/alcohol, emotional, (depression, anxiety, etc), life problems (school, career, bereavement, etc.), kids (behavior, discipline, school problems, etc.). I am also an SAP (Substance Abuse Professional) DOT certified

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.
