I focus on the client's experience as they live today - what's working, not working, what's missing, & how to live a more attentive, mindful life very consistent with their values.
As you consider a therapist, search for someone who seems to value the things you value, someone who will want to support your life goals; listen to your own sense of who can get you started on the road to healing, recovery, or flourishing; focus on your need to understand what you really want and how to start getting more out of your life. Psychotherapy is like physical therapy; something is injured, not fully developed, or needing to be used differently; the session stretches and strengthens; homework is essential to making progress; if you come consistently, do the homework, you get better. It's a partnership.

I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.
Do you feel stressed out and overwhelmed balancing parenthood with your career and relationships? Do you wake up exhausted and dreading the day? If you’re struggling to balance life’s demands and be at your best, now is a good time to connect with an experienced therapist who can help. Now more than ever parents are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain on how to juggle their kids, spouses, careers, and their own well-being. Prioritizing others first while putting your own needs last can work a little, but leads to longer-term issues like burnout, depression, and chronic stress. You don't want to burden your friends and family either.

I believe trusting clients' innate ability to understand and heal themselves. This belief also guides my work with family, couples' and children's issues. I help clients access their own emotional intelligence - awareness that a lack of confidence and support often block. I can help clients discover and articulate their desired change. I use techniques from different traditions - primarily Family Systems, Self and Developmental Psychology, cognitive/behavioral approaches, but believe primarily in the healing power of relationship.

Sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is just show up. Prioritizing yourself, your relationships, and your needs is one of the greatest gifts we can give. When you show up at therapy, you take your first steps towards growth and healing and you won’t be on the journey alone. I invite anyone who feels the need to talk to reach out and take that step. Maybe you don’t even know how to explain, you just want things to be different. Whatever you're navigating, I can provide a space for you to feel heard, seen, and respected, while we pursue your goals together.

Finding peace and a sense of purpose is more difficult when you're overwhelmed with messages from the outside world about who you are supposed to be. One goal of therapy is to have more compassion for yourself which gives you the opportunity to experience more peace inside. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, grief, LGBT issues, relationship issues, adult children of personality disordered parents and women's issues across the lifespan, especially surrounding menopause. I also enjoy and welcome working with men in my practice. My clinical interests surround how our thoughts and bodies are connected.

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.
