An LCSW with 30+ years in the Behavioral Health Field. EMDR Trained. I strive to motivate and facility behavioral change. I incorporate evidenced-based interventions, a broad range of experience, humor, a bit of intuition, and a few tricks of my own. People who struggle with depression and anxiety have had less than perfect life experiences. These experiences frequently result in life-interrupting, automatic responses that impair everyday functioning.

Let’s get you back in control of your life.
Another sleepless night spent agonizing over every interaction from the day before. I shouldn’t have spoken up in that meeting. Everyone is probably laughing at me behind my back. Why don’t I keep my big mouth shut? You try to push these thoughts down and ignore them, but it’s no use. You’re terrified no one will like you for who you are, so you pretend to be someone else. And for a time, it worked. But every day, you feel less like yourself, more like an imposter. You distance yourself from loved ones, worried they’ll notice this change in you. You’re feeling disconnected – like you have no control over your life. You need help.

The journey to finding the right therapist can indeed feel daunting and challenging. It's perfectly normal to question whether counseling is the right path for you, or if it might bring up painful memories. You may even worry about being judged for not having everything figured out. Please remember, it's okay not to have all the answers. You're not alone in this journey and there's no need for you to bear these burdens silently. You are deserving of support from a highly-skilled professional who has a genuine passion for helping others and can provide hopeful solutions tailored just for you.

Together, in a warm and supportive environment, I hold a safe place for discovery and personal growth through an integrative approach. Here, with new tools, you can search within and explore your basic needs. Within this therapeutic relationship you can begin to begin again. My commitment is to provide a private and caring space for self discovery and a growing sense of well-being.

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.
