As a somatic, relational Gestalt practitioner/trainer, EMDR Consultant, Energy Psychology practitioner, spiritual guide, meditation teacher, and hypnotherapist, I offer an embodied and integrated approach to therapeutic coaching, consultation, and teaching.
I care deeply about my clients' histories and journeys as well as the Reality that is greater than our thoughts or stories. This is where Einstein comes in: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." In the process of transformation we undergo an 'unlearning', we become more embodied, and our consciousness shifts.

From rage & stress, to grief, through life-stagnation & confusion to betrayal and divorce, my clients tend to be articulate & very smart, and prefer a counselor who is a realist, not someone who re-hashes old techniques or spouts trendy remedies.
The difference between driving down the road safely, versus hopping the curb, wiping out thirty people & making headlines is about an inch on the steering wheel. Sometimes a few key corrections can return you to feeling normal again, so why start with big steps. You're an adult, I'll treat you like one.

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.
