MA, LPPC, a life coach and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over 19 years of professional experience serving clients in New Mexico and Arizona.
I utilize a combination of several therapeutic approaches, yet healing cannot be packaged. I am outstanding at what I do, but I am not an expert on your life; you are. However, coaching as an approach is what I am most known for in my practice, incorporating "we" in the work. My process is patient, visionary, loving, dynamic, and fun. Yes, fun.

I offer multimodal intensive sessions for individuals who are ready to engage in meaningful, transformative work within a shorter timeframe. These focused sessions integrate evidence-based approaches and are thoughtfully tailored to your unique goals, history, and strengths.

There is plenty of suffering in our world. Anxiety, depression and other mental ailments are on the rise. People feel more isolated than ever and thinking they might be the only person who feels the way they do. They suffer in silence. We suffer many times at the hands of our Ego. Ego wants this or doesn’t want that. We feel anxiety or bad mood and we do everything we can to push it away. We don’t want to feel it so we insulate ourselves from it. The paradox is that the more you push something away the stronger it gets. We have created strategies and defenses to keep ourselves moving but in the end they just don't work.

Have you ever felt like traditional talk therapy didn't work for you? You may have been frustrated with a lack of results. You may have felt like you've tried everything and are at the end of your rope. Or, maybe talk therapy has been successful for you, but you want a unique approach. As a licensed therapist, I can help by combining traditional talk therapy, with the ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. The method that I have found to be most beneficial, both personally and professionally, is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping.

My coaching also reflects this approach, as well as the programs I offer on my coaching site geared towards the neurodivergent community.
I have over 30 years of both lived and professional experience with neurodivergence (ADHDer with sensory processing differences). As a neurodivergent-affirming practitioner, all recommendations and reports reflect this positive, strengths-based approach. I do not endorse any practices designed to compel neurodivergents to mask or become more neurotypical.

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.
