Life Coaching Therapists in Boston, MA
I believe in a physical approach to mental health! Our body is always present, with us, while our thoughts, feelings and actions, come and go! My approach blends Counseling, Training, and Coaching to offer a holistic solution tailored to your needs.
Are you feeling stuck, lacking the energy to focus, make decisions, and take action? Facing problems or behaviors that block your progress, keep you in unproductive patterns? Your thoughts, feelings and actions lack direction and confidence, at times leading to unhealthy habits and repetitive cycles of doubt, despair and inaction?
I found myself and in working with others that having an experienced, knowledgeable counselor, coach and/or mentor, who is all in for you, helps create and fuel your best version of yourself. First we create clarity and stability, in the present and with that we envision a path and future to work towards!

Do you feel stuck, unsure why life feels unfulfilling despite everything you’ve tried? Often, it’s unresolved emotional wounds or negative patterns—from self-doubt to old fears—that quietly shape our choices and hold us back.
Lasting change happens when we address the whole self—mind, body, and spirit. We’ll release limiting beliefs, reconnect with your body’s wisdom, and access spiritual truth to create sustainable change. For deeper healing, I offer private and group retreats, including plant medicine retreats, to help you release blocks and find clarity and connection.

We can't stop the change or eliminate suffering but we can begin to understand it and learn how to manage all that life throws our way.

I enjoy working in a manner that views clients as experts in their own lives. I see my role as one of exploring with clients in an effort to expand narrowed perceptions of issues that arise.

Life Coaching or Counseling with me often focuses on progress in school, employment, legal or financial difficulties, substance abuse, and family dynamics.
Sometimes you need a bit more support from an outside source to see issues through a new lens. I am here to help you do that. We can start by saying that anxiety, substance use, depression, rumination, and approval seeking, are all normal human challenges. Many of these problems surface in early adulthood which is why I specialize in helping people launch into adulthood with better coping skills.

Interestingly as a gay therapist I work very productively with women in mid- life transitions.
Do anxious or depressed feelings interfere with your plans for that new job, new living situation or getting and keeping healthy supportive relationships? Do you find yourself distracted and know there are things you just keep putting off? I work with adults who are motivated to make internal changes that lead to external results in their lives. My clients are no longer willing to remain stuck with old thought patterns and behaviors that limit them. Clients report that our work together is insightful, exciting and important.

Other common areas related to my focus revolve around men's issues in life, relationships, and work.
Pornography doesn’t have to destroy the relationships that matter most to you. For many men, turning to Pornhub, OnlyFans, cam sites, or even Instagram creates a growing emotional gap, eroding trust, intimacy and connection. It can leave your partner feeling unwanted and you feeling trapped in a cycle of guilt and shame. Over time, this struggle can lead to heartbreak, divorce, and a future far from the one you envisioned. You do not have to let this define you. It is time to take back control.

Working collaboratively, you and I will explore where you feel stuck and make moves toward a more fulfilling life.

It is often said that life coaching closes the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Life coaching focuses on the future and not the past as an empowering process for you. We focus on patterns of thoughts and behaviors, using the underlying philosophy of positive psychology, a solution focused orientation, powerful questions and cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge you create a life that is more fulfilling and engaging.

We are all in relationships emotionally, whether at work, or school, or in your personal life.
In recent years after I returned from Europe, I have been developing an approach in therapy based primarily on Communication and Affect, what I call Affect duet, the emotional dance between individuals, a basis for communication and learning. I am teaming with clients to understand more deeply what we were trying to communicate your personal experience.

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.
