Are you repeating negative patterns in many different areas in your life? The healing process is multi-layered. I can teach you how to bring yourself into alignment with your “ true self”. We will work on coping skills so you can find your center, and as you feel emotionally safe within yourself, we can explore the source(s) of negative thoughts and behavior patterns. Healing is intentional. Do you listen to your intuition? Do you hear it? We all have it, but too often our chronic thinking brain is so loud it drowns out the intuitive voice within. I can help teach you emotional wellness. I am also a Reiki practitioner.

Grieving is a process of learning how to live in your changed world and integrating the loss into this confusing and sometimes scary new life.
Everyone suffers many losses in their lifetime. Grief is our reaction to loss based on what we have learned from childhood, what we have experienced as adults, and how we have chosen to respond. We then struggle to determine how to evolve and change. The grieving process does not follow a prescribed path. There are many commonalities to the grieving process, yet the journey is unique to the individual. Loss is typically defined as a death, but may take many forms: a relationship, a job, a pet. I specialize in many types of Grief and Transitions including Anticipatory. Absent, Complicated, Disenfranchised, Chronic, Delayed and Inhibited.

Being human is difficult. It can come with painful and traumatizing experiences -- particularly as we live in a society that is imbued with isms, poverty, and uncertainty about the future. We can experience deep sadness, loneliness and worries. And even so, there is something in us that wants to find hope and long-lasting joy, and live a life that's rich, meaningful, and filled with connection and belongingness.

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.
