As the saying goes, “No one is completely immune from the hardships of this life”.
My objective in the therapy room is to create an open and non-judgmental environment, a comfortable space where you can fully experience your potential. I work with individuals of all ages, including youth/adolescents, young, middle, and geriatric aged adults. I'm also passionate about helping athletes who are struggling or working through a sports setback.

My work fuses coaching (looking at the future) with traditional mental health therapy (looking into the past).
Let me give you a challenge. For the next 30 days I want you to think about this phrase every day. Write it down and really consider it. "Most of our thoughts, behaviors and emotions are habitual. We wonder why our lives don't change but fail to consider that we are utterly predictable in our daily habits." Our brain seeks to make things habitual. And, you guessed it - that's a key factor in change. Call me, I help people go further in their lives/careers/ and relationships. I've spent 20 years deep in the science of change. If you don't know how to change things - that's OK because I do. Let's untie the knots and stop the pain.

As a therapist, religious educator, and army chaplain I have a unique background and passion for helping families, couples, and individuals cope with life's stress.
Research shows that the relationship with your therapist is one of the greatest predictors of successful outcomes. I am empathetic, energetic, optimistic, honest, practical, and grounded on Christian principles. I quickly form trusting relationships, even with those who might be resistant to the idea of therapy.

With women's issues, I look carefully at the unique stressors that are driving her life.
I get excited about working with my clients - getting to know you is the BEST part of what I do. And I totally understand what a leap of courage it can be to go to therapy. I'd love to hear what you have already tried, why it hasn't worked (or if it has, too), and what seems to be blocking your path. These are very helpful clues in our path of discovery. From there, I have a tool bag we can draw from, and with your feedback, we'll find something that works. :) Your feedback is the key!

Life tends to have a way of throwing us a few more curve balls than we’d like.
Thankfully, it is possible to retrain our brains away from these harmful "protections". Together we can work to rewire automatic responses by using modalities such as EMDR, somatics, lifespan integration, pain reprocessing therapy, internal family systems, and mindfulness.

EMDR is a systematic process of healing that promotes emotional stability by helping to free the mind from past thoughts, memories and behaviors that are present in daily life.
Depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, addiction,etc. are merely symptoms of an underlining problem. Traumatic experiences happen throughout our lifetime. At those moments, we go into fight or flight mode to survive. Eventually, the impact of those experiences resurface and what is left are uncomfortable symptoms. Until the trauma is resolved,the symptoms will likely continue.

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.
