There is a way out of the vicious cycles of your life.
* Online * Intuitive * Integrative * When I first started searching for guidance years ago, I wanted something different than traditional psychotherapy. Something deeper. I felt stuck despite knowing many techniques that should have helped. Yes, I wanted someone to help me get unstuck and finally make the tangible, practical, positive changes necessary in my life -- and at the same time, I longed for something more meaningful than simply improving my daily existence. My years of seeking, study, and deep personal work have led me to the unique blend of psychology, spirituality, intuitive guidance, and energy work I now practice.

My approach is holistic and integrative, taking your whole life and being into consideration, and is characterized by warmth, directness, humor, and my own experience of being human.
I believe each of us is a unique work of art in progress. Therapy is a process of discovering how your deepest self wants to be expressed in the world and then finding the inner resources to live that out. During darker periods of life, we might question the meaning of things, feel flawed or broken, and long for what’s out of reach. These times can signify a loss of connection to our innermost selves and be a call to a new way of living. Our work together will explore pains and patterns that continue to show themselves, family and social systems that shape self-concept, and inner workings of personality that make you who you are.

I use an integrative approach to therapy; person centered, trauma informed, strength based, and culturally sensitive. I believe that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by many factors; genetics, biology, psychology, society, community, family, relationships, education, occupation, religion, and culture. I work with clients to help them gain an understanding of how their early relationships with others affect their current relationships through trauma-informed, CBT, attachment theory work. I am primarily interested in Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, and Motivational Therapies.

I also believe the relationship is the foundation of change, so having a good fit is absolutely important to doing great work and getting life changing results.
Welcome and thank you for visiting my profile. I am a clinical social worker and licensed alcohol and drug counselor and have over 17 years of experience working with a diverse population of people in a variety of settings. Each one recognized that something needed to shift or change or maybe everything. Change isn't easy and while most of us know when the writing is on the wall, it's beefing up the courage and finding a launching point that is often the biggest hurdle we face. Most of us know what we want and certainly what we don't want but it's putting it into action that is often the stumbling block.

I also consider it an honor to help others deepen into a relationship with themselves (and others) in order to create a vision for moving forward in life that feels right.
Sometimes on our journey we need an objective guide. I can help you enhance your ability to manage problems involving "big feelings” that otherwise overwhelm. If your goal is to start getting new results for old recurring problems we can do that with compassion and curiosity. It is important to explore our personal history to understand why we think or behave the ways we currently do. While personal growth isn't always painless, you don't have to be alone in the process if you have a therapist who will commit to the process along side of you. I can help you gain new perspectives that will get you to solve problems effectively.

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.
