I have been in practice for over 25 years and work primarily with adults struggling with a variety of life issues.
Hi and thanks for taking a look at my profile. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially since most of us are doing so during a time of stress or crisis. My approach to therapy is very relational and experiential. I believe that healing and transformation can happen only in the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. It's a huge step to reach out to a therapist for help. I hope I can make it as easy as possible for you and look forward to talking further to see if we're a good therapy match.

My goal is to support you in your journey to fulfillment in all areas of your life , using my diverse professional experience along the way. After over a decade working in high-stakes, competitive jobs, I realized how many colleagues and professionals in my field could benefit from self-discovery and support in order to identify their values and achieve their goals. After much contemplation, I decided to follow my true calling to become a performance trainer and counselor. I now feel great joy in being able to empower my clients to find excellence, both personally and professionally.

I know that life is hard and relationships are hard which is why I invite you to contact me and let me help you navigate life and love and sex and relationships.
Let's talk about sex baby! Sex can be REALLY hard to talk about and explore. As an intimacy and love coach I love having these conversations with people! I want to help you to explore yourself and your partner(s). Everyone deserves amazing intimacy with whomever they choose to partake with. Whether it is low sex drive, or reigniting the spark postpartum, I can help you to explore the hang ups and what is keeping you from enjoying the most important part of yourself.

Together we can find a more rewarding response for troubling life issues.
Therapy offers an opportunity for personal change. In our work together clients build new skills and address emotional challenges. Integrating relational-psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and compassion based therapies helps people develop the life they would like. My work with couples focuses on improving communication, addressing roadblocks and developing new pathways.

I have a diverse background with training in child and adult therapy, nutritional counseling, life coaching , and logotherapy. I am best suited to work people experiencing anxiety and depression. Psychotherapy typically focuses on how our past experiences drive us as adults while coaching is more forward-looking, and focuses on setting goals and looking at obstacles that get in the way of reaching those goals. Logotherapy is geared toward helping people find meaning and purpose in life . Child therapy helps children become more expressive of their emotions and develop more awareness of their strengths and to apply them in life .

I believe in the innate wisdom of each individual, encouraging self-compassionate curiosity rather than harsh self-judgment. In the words of one of my clients, "I will be forever grateful to her skills as a motivator, her ability to listen compassionately and her unique way of bringing structure to the very frenetic experience of depression and addiction." www.insightoutnyc.com

It's okay if you need healing and a way forward and have no idea of where to start. Maybe you’ve tried individual or couples therapy but it’s been more harmful than helpful because your therapist didn’t understand emotional abuse and toxic relationship dynamics. Applying tools intended for two healthy people doesn’t work when there’s a Narcissist and/or abuse present in the relationship. Working with someone who understands patterns of abuse can help you make the right decision for yourself. I am trained in Narcissistic Abuse and High Conflict Divorce Coaching . - I also work with Millennial Women on life transitions (website below)

Whether you're at a crossroads, facing a difficult transition, or are feeling a pull for something in your life to be different, coaching can help you shift your perspective to see new possibilities. Who are you today relative to who you want to be? Some areas of your life likely align with your values and life vision but elsewhere, you feel an uncomfortable gap between where you are and where you’d like to be.

Because the family is the essential context for our mental health, helping family members cope with stressors related to normative life transitions, and the traumatizing effects of unforeseen crises such as mental or physical illness, addiction, divorce, and parenting special needs children or adolescents form the core of my practice.
My inclusive practice is anchored in a respect for the cultural lens that shape a diversity of world views. My therapeutic approach is especially effective for changing repetitive unproductive behavioral patterns in interpersonal relationships and supporting new insights for understanding that the same mindset cannot be used for finding solutions to the complex problems that created them.

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.
