Pornography addiction can significantly impact your
life
and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your
life
and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfans or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship.

Reaching out for help is certainly not easy, and whatever you are going through, I'm here to support. It is my goal to provide you tools to not only reduce the symptoms you and your loved ones may be experiencing, but also identify the root causes for long lasting change. As a relational therapist, the clients I support are families who are navigating the challenges of having tweens, teens, or young adults as well as couples who are struggling to communicate. I also love working with women who are navigating
life
transitions, experiencing symptoms of ADHD/anxiety, or are struggling in their relationships.

This time has been isolating and
life
alternating to say the least. Many of us are left with a feeling of overwhelm as we are separated from one another and cannot participate in the lifestyle routines that once helped us to feel grounded. I have been working with many clients this year to find a source of balance and inner peace when so much of the world has shut down and become unavailable to us. From anxiety, depression and Pandemic PTSD to low motivation and deflation. Feelings of isolation, loneliness and despondency are a few of the many issues I work with in my clients at the moment. Let me help you build your new world!

If you’re struggling to clarify your
life
vision, or to find peace with your past, I will help you to dissolve the limiting beliefs that hold you back.
I specialize in uncovering the subconscious beliefs that dictate and shape your thoughts, feelings, behaviors. We all have subconscious blueprints that unconsciously construct our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us. These blueprints directly control how we think, feel, and act. Thus, your potential to experience happiness, purpose, and loving relationships can only be accomplished by identifying and then re-writing these subconscious narratives. Do you want to learn what’s holding you back from living
life
fully? I am here to help you reach your greatest potential.

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.
