I specialize in personal and professional identity development coaching, which can include leadership skills, sexuality and gender identity exploration and support, developing emotional intelligence, and spirituality/worldview deconstruction and reconstruction.
I believe our individual experiences have innate value and empower us to understand and interact with the world around us in unique ways. They shape our identity and belief systems, and influence how we express them. My goal is to help you explore and develop both in a psychologically safe space of curiosity, vulnerability, and non-judgment.

Everyone faces challenges for which they are not adequately prepared at some point in life: an executive leadership position, a career change or retirement, a creative block, difficulties forming or sustaining a romantic relationship, the complexities of parenting, divorce, or disability.
Coaching can help us discover our own strengths, find our own paths, and develop the self-knowledge and resilience necessary to enhance our intimate, emotional, creative and professional lives. Collaborative conversation can develop the processes and outlooks required to navigate them successfully, and make the difference between frustration and mastery.

For 15+ years I have helped families heal wounded relationships by trying out different ways of communicating with (and listening to) each other. I have helped individuals break free from old patterns and experience relief, growth and clarity. Hiring a counselor who is a good fit for you is important. I want to help you make an informed "hiring" decision, and then work hard to help you create changes that are meaningful to you. Clients can expect me to incorporate evidence-supported tools and practices (like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for individuals and the Gottman Method for couples).

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.
