I would love to hear your story and give you support, caring, encouragement, and teach you some tools to help you move past whatever is holding you back from living your best life.

As a warm and well-seasoned LPC-S, I provide a compassionate space for those navigating major life transitions.
My approach to therapy is to understand the core beliefs that lead to distress. Using concepts of CBT, DBT and eclectic therapy, I help the individual to understand the problem and gain the confidence to move forward. I have a particular focus on guiding through life's transitions whether it's leaving a career, starting over, or figuring out what's right.

My goal is to create a welcoming space where clients feel accepted and understood so they can make positive changes in their life.
I utilize a strength-based approach to therapy by integrating acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, systemic, and psychodynamic approaches. When establishing goals/treatment plans, I work collaboratively with individuals and families to determine which approaches work best to meet their unique needs.

Using trauma-informed, somatic, and mindfulness practices, I help you calm your nervous system, shift long-held patterns, and cultivate the clarity and self-trust that deepen ease in your relationships and life.
You’ve learned how to hold it all together — for your family, your work, and everyone who counts on you. Many of my clients are people of color, children of immigrants, and first-generation professionals balancing high expectations with an inner sense of disconnection. They often describe anxiety, burnout, or the exhaustion that comes from being “the strong one.” Even when things look fine on the outside, they feel weighed down by worry, self-criticism, or the sense that they can’t fully relax or just be themselves.

Therapy can help you find real relief, gain deeper self-understanding, and break the patterns that keep you stuck.

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.
