I have worked in this field for over 30 years in hospital, residential, day treatment, outpatient and home settings. My experience is primarily with young adults and with families who have children with special needs whether neurotypical or behavioral. I have worked with a lot of adolescents and pre-teens who are having difficulty adjusting to the demands of individuation and separation. It is important to regard everyone's life situation as unique and to support the process of personal awareness and growth.

This has been beneficial for people who feel that they have processed certain life events but are still experiencing these negative emotions.
For the person who finds their self re-creating harmful patterns, in negative relationships, acting out of anxiety, depression or emotional pain and using alcohol or drugs more then they want. Even if you use alcohol or drugs a couple times a week to cope. You may not identify with having a substance problem but are interested in harm reduction, patterns of substance misuse, and want change, reach out and we can explore it together, even if you have been abstinent from substances but are concerned about thinking and behaviors. I use a holistic, person-centered approach, along with CBT to provide individualized treatment.

From here, life can be more joyful with more ease where you can create more of what you want.
Welcome. Life can present challenges that we need help navigating and this can be especially true when we experience trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, disconnection from ourselves, our purpose, our loved ones or a general stuckness. My work is to help you identify what needs attention and healing so you can change unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that hold you back. I believe this process can lead you to clearer, more loving understanding of yourself that allows you to shift in profound, sometime surprising ways. I'd be honored to guide you in this, so if it feels right please reach out and let's connect.

My life experiences both professionally and personally have shown me how prevalent trauma is in our world today. While we are navigating different or in some cases very similar storms, I believe that each of us travel in our own boat. Some of us are traveling in Yachts with more amenities than we can even imagine, while others are negotiating the turbulence of the seas, in what feels like a life raft. The continuum of vessels is vast and I consider it my job to help you upgrade yours by accessing/implementing positive coping strategies, facilitating insight, collaboratively setting goals, and creating more meaningful relationships.

I specialize in working with older adolescents, young adults through adult who are struggling with behavioral/emotional/or cognitive symptoms related to anxiety and trauma especially developmental trauma. Developmental trauma unlike an intense event, happens through our developmental growth period it is how we learned to see ourselves, sense our own innate human value and how we interacted with the world. This may show up in your life as perfectionism, difficulty doing boundaries or being assertive, difficulty with self care etc. I utilize experiential neuroscience and trauma interventions to help identify and break through barriers

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.
