That heaviness you feel in your chest? The constant tension in your shoulders, the mental fog, the exhaustion that doesn’t go away with sleep—none of it is something you just have to power through. The version of you who feels overstressed, over-touch, and overwhelmed doesn’t just need to survive another day—you deserve to thrive. I have a passion for working with women experiencing grief, anxiety & burnout—whether from loss or the demands of parenting, career, or caregiving and seek to provide a supportive environment for healing both past and present wounds. Together we will find a path forward to build resilience and thrive.

Anxiety and depression tend to rob us of our ability to trust ourselves, which can damage our sense of self and make it difficult to feel like we can manage what life throws at us.
In my practice I use a combination of approaches depending on my clients' needs. I often use elements of CBT, ACT, and mindfulness skills in my sessions. I find these help clients shift their relationship with their thoughts and feelings which means they can start to get unstuck and move towards the things that are truly important to them.

Thank you for being here and considering the process of therapy. I am a licensed therapist focused on supporting my clients towards growth and healing. My experience as a dance instructor sparked my curiosity to utilize the creative arts in session...this can include movement, visual art, and music. Linking talk therapy and a creative approach aids the healing process by increasing self awareness, strengthening problem solving skills, and ability to explore emotions nonverbally. Together let's discuss if this approach would be a good fit in working towards your goals!

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.
