I'm a life-long advocate of counseling, having experienced the positive changes first-hand.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, working with individuals, families and couples, ranging from teenagers to adults. My focus is on helping support positive growth by working with clients to not only identify the changes they want to make in their lives, but also to actively assist in making such transitions. I believe every individual has the potential to change, developing healthier coping skills and relationships, which in turn, boost confidence and self-actualization.

I use a creative approach to healing from the past and creating a life with soul and passion.
Are you in recovery but feeling stuck? Are you tired of running from your past? Are you unable to experience vulnerability in a relationship without feeling panic or acting out in destructive ways? You know in your heart that there are issues you have to resolve to have the life you want. You need more than self-help books and 12 step meetings. You didn't begin your journey in recovery to end up feeling stuck. I understand. I am a psychotherapist who is also in recovery. I experienced the same and I am able to help you.

I believe that therapy offers a unique opportunity for intensive emotional and intellectual growth so that one can be better equipped to lead a more productive and fulfilling life. Within the context of a respectful, empathic, safe, and warm relationship, an individual can begin to consider one's life from a different point of view by attaching new meaning to his/her past, exploring new avenues for reaching life goals, and decreasing painful feelings such as sadness and anxiety through self-acceptance and an increased ability to cope with life's stressors.

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.
