Many of my clients experience constant worry, racing thoughts, or feel stuck in patterns that are hard to change, often during life transitions or after a loss.
If you’re used to putting others first, therapy can feel unfamiliar or even hard to prioritize. Many clients I work with overthink, struggle to say no, or feel responsible for others’ feelings. Our early sessions offer a gentle space where you don’t have to perform, just begin exploring what you need and building self-trust.

We explore the experiences and relationships that shaped you while also building the awareness and skills to navigate life differently.
You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that keep pulling you off course. Often these patterns make sense, they developed for a reason, but somewhere along the way they stopped serving you. You're looking for space to understand what's really driving them, and tools to help you cope in the meantime.

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.
