I specialize in both psychotherapy and high-level coaching, and I can blend them when appropriate.
I work well with clients seeking help with stress management, relationship issues, goal attainment, or issues related to emotion and self-esteem. My ideal clients are professionals who are seeking results. In addition to my work with clients, I also provide practice building tools for clinicians. Although I am currently on sabbatical from psychotherapy clients, I do oversee my associates, Amanda Pelcher, LMFT and Grayson Stadler, LCSW. You can have a free consultation with my office to learn more. Send us an email or give us a call so we may assist you further!

I work with unique individuals who are seemingly successful and happy but deep inside feel lost, alone, even if they are in a relationship, and often feel like they don't belong or struggle to be present in life. With expertise gathered from years of experience across borders, time zones and cultures, I dive alongside men and women into the deep ocean of darkness— including all types of diversity, in-between/intersecting identities, worldwide travelers, high-achieving/performing and creative people. I am Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) certified and was formerly a clinical supervisor and psychologist at Johns Hopkins University.

Many of us find ourselves feeling stuck, frustrated or unfulfilled in our relationships, work or life path. Talking to a friend or family member may be a good start but, at times, cannot create a safe, supportive distance to work through what is troubling us. In my clinical work, I offer a safe and supportive environment in which to understand yourself, what's getting in the way in your life now, and explore new ways of coping and understanding life's challenges. I believe real change takes place in the moment-to-moment collaboration between therapist and client.

I can guide you through all of life’s challenges, from the daily tasks of adulting to the deep aches of grief.
Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That's part of what it means to be alive. (Murakami). Loss is a part of life - of loved ones, hopes and dreams, relationships, a sense of safety. If you’ve lost your sense of self, I can help you return to yourself. If you’ve lost your professional mojo, I can guide you to rediscover it. I provide a holding space for you so you can move forward with strength and optimism, and eventually find meaning, growth and a renewed sense of purpose. Remember - there is no way out but through.

My approach is psychodynamic and holistic, with a coaching perspective and an emphasis on personal growth.
Are you having trouble in your relationships, at work, or when you're alone, because of panic attacks, obsessions or compulsions? Has depression eroded your confidence and sapped the pleasure from life? Therapy can help. Are you looking for a new partner, or perhaps grieving a loss? Do you struggle at work or in school? Do you or someone you are caring for suffer from a medical illness? These are all very stressful situations, and a good time to talk with a trained professional. Therapy can help you increase space in your life for self-care and compassion, self-awareness and reflection, and provide support in making changes.

My combination of life coaching and therapeutic skillsets powerfully set the stage for progress.
As a professional coach and licensed therapist, I help people heal their minds and form a new and stronger sense of self—one thriving through growth from personal exploration. Worry, distraction, stress, fear, self-doubt, poor habits or conflicting mindsets all contribute to the behaviors that thwart potentials. Whether in your teens, twenties or fifties, I help you unlock the stuck points holding you back. If you have experienced trauma, are managing anxiety or have self-doubt, we can build your self-efficacy so you can make life, career and relationship choices that align with the best version of who you choose to be.

When life becomes more of a mystery to embrace than a series of problems to solve, a shift or crack occurs in our perspective. This crack allows the light and miracle of peace and intimacy to gently blossom. Leaning into mystery and discovering intimacy has been at the core of both my personal and professional journey. Of course, life is always going to be a series of problems to solve. That’s the content of our lives. But when mystery is the lens or context from which these problems are viewed, the problems look and feel differently. We start noticing options. Transformation becomes accessible.

To others, or on paper, your life may look great, but you still feel unfulfilled. My clients are New Yorkers who want more, and often they feel uncomfortable sharing these insecurities with family or friends. Whether you are experiencing career challenges, struggling with family issues, or spending hours fruitlessly swiping on dating apps, you know you need to break the cycle. I provide a safe, empathetic space and a solutions-based approach to explore areas of concern. I also work with clients to identify the issues underlying a feeling of general malaise. Sometimes we just don’t know what we don’t know.

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.
