Let’s lean into your strengths, get curious about what works, and identify what is not so helpful in your life.
I have worked with adults, adolescents, elders and children. I am comfortable working with anyone, but especially people who have experienced trauma, are in crisis, are struggling with substance use, are LGBTQ+, are Indigenous, are Autistic, have ADHD, or have Borderline Personality Disorder to name a few. While we are each unique communities, I have found myself to be well atuned to the needs and goals of my Indigenous clients as I am indigenous myself and get to practice my culture. My clients' goals usually include an increased feeling of security/safety, community integration, & relationship or interpersonal effectiveness.

If you're ready to heal the roots of burnout, anxiety, or relational trauma and build a life that actually feels as good as it looks, you're in the right place.
You feel like it's all on your shoulders and you're constantly failing. You're used to making things happen, but inside you feel lonely, anxious, and like a shell of a person. You grew up in a family where there was some love but asking for help is still so hard... you feel like a burden. Even now, with all you've done, you people-please, overthink every decision, and feel like you're never enough. You desperately want peace and energy... to feel whole, confident, and full of vitality again. If you're ready to go deeper than talk therapy and make real changes to how you live, sleep, eat, and connect, I'm here to help.

I am a firm believer in thorough evaluation early on in the therapy process. I frequently use my expertise in psychological testing to assist in this diagnostic process to ensure the most effective and appropriate treatments are used. While the human condition allows for great challenges and pain, it also allows for miraculous opportunities for healing and growth. Therapy is a collaborative relationship. I focus treatment on a combination of providing information, skill building, and evidence based treatments. Being tech-interested also helps me connect with younger clients, and bridge the gap of resistance to change or getting help.

I really love helping people learn to practice new ways of thinking and being in the world and in their relationships. Our need to stay busy in our minds and in our bodies in order to escape difficult feelings creates depression and anxiety and keeps us from healing. I help people slow down and learn how to make a genuine connection to their inner world and begin a journey of healing and hope.

I come here believing this: the relationship we have with ourselves is the center of how we show up in the world and experience all aspects of life.
An internal family systems approach is used to help someone better understand all of who they are and why they might remain stuck in ways of thinking, feeling and reacting. When we learn to befriend all of who we are, we engage with ourselves, others, and the world in a more compassionate, curious and confident way. I will teach you how to do this!

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families with all types of relationship and mental health issues. All of us bring positive and negative aspects of ourselves into our relationships and our work. I often find that people get stuck using behaviors or having expectations that may have worked well in past situations, such as childhood or previous relationships, but do not work well in their current situation. Often the goal in therapy is to identify what is and what is not working, and then build healthy and effective thoughts and behaviors.

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.
