My method is to develop a plan to assist/coach clients to grow, step-by-step, to overcome their life challenges.
My approach is the integration of nutrition with life-challenge coaching and use direct, solutions-oriented counseling and Rational Emotive Therapy. I assist individuals in reflecting on their lives, pointing out lifestyles that have not worked. I encourage them to be consistent with lifestyles that will enable them to bring about positive change.

I often work with people seeking support navigating personal, relational, or systemic challenges; including those who are neurodivergent, queer, or in non-traditional relationships, as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulties with emotional regulation, seeking to learn more self trust, and to generally feel more liberated in life.
I find that my approach is most effective with folks who are looking to work collaboratively with their therapist so that trust, safety, (and thus space for honest, curious exploration), can be built organically. As a therapist, I like to show up as myself, which leans casual, direct, warm, compassionate, honest, & expressive with my reactions. My clients find that I'm curious, engaged, receptive, and approachable. My overall style is rooted in the belief that if you genuinely feel seen, supported, and able to maintain your agency, the relationship itself can serve as one of the most important tools in your therapeutic process.

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.
