My specialty focuses on helping you uncover your inner strength, move past entrenched patterns, and build a steadier, more self-directed life.
You’re capable—but tired of repeating the same patterns. Maybe you’re leaving an unhealthy relationship, redefining motherhood, rebuilding your identity, or questioning the roles you were taught to accept. I work with women navigating major transitions—women who want strength, clarity, and forward movement, not endless processing. LGBTQIA+ affirming. Currently offering telehealth services.

As self-awareness is the most important indicator for success in life and relationships, I offer applicable tools for unhindered living so you can overcome limiting beliefs and fully thrive.
One of the most difficult questions to answer is often the simplest one: What do you want? We often fixate on the needs and desires of others, losing touch with our own. I believe your desires are powerful beyond belief. They make you unique and hold the key that unlock freedom and opportunity. As we discover them, we can heal blocks, often past trauma, that hold us back, in order to create something new. I'd love to partner with you and explore where you've been and want to go. Together, we will co-create a beautiful path forward and write a compelling next chapter where you play the Hero.

My ideal client is someone seeking meaningful change, even if they’re unsure where to start. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, grief, religious trauma, identity questions, or neurodivergent challenges. Often, they carry a deep desire to feel understood, find clarity, and reconnect with themselves or others. Some are individuals in high-stress roles—first responders, healthcare workers, or therapists—longing for space to process and heal. Others are couples or families hoping to communicate better and rebuild trust. My clients want more than symptom relief—they seek authenticity, emotional depth, and connection.

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.
