I aim to create a space where you can better understand yourself, make sense of past experiences, and begin to choose new ways of showing up that feel more aligned with your values and your life.
Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about how to move forward, even though part of you knows something needs to change? Many people come to therapy feeling this way, wanting things to be different, but not knowing where to start.
In our work together, we’ll focus on understanding how you communicate your needs, the coping strategies you’ve developed, and why it can sometimes feel easier to care for others than for yourself. We’ll gently explore patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may have once been helpful but no longer fit who you are today.

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.
