For those with high-stress careers, I also utilize professional development coaching as an alternative to traditional therapies.
My goal is to facilitate individuals and families as they seek to achieve a holistic and balanced personal and professional quality of life. I operate from the core belief that people are whole, thus providing treatment from a comprehensive approach to physical, emotional, spiritual, and familial health and wellness. My treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused treatment, and mindfulness-based practices.

Life presents challenges that we are not always prepared for and it becomes difficult to regain ground.
No matter a person’s position in life, your mental health will always take precedence and determine your quality of life and how well you perform. It's an honor to be a provider and an advocate for mental health. I am a licensed professional counselor with over a decade of experience providing services to various populations including, children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Above all of the accolades, I’m human and I know that at some point or at several points in your lifetime you will need guidance and support.

My goal is to help clients find purpose in life through mind-body-spirit techniques, behavioral and cognitive techniques, along with overall wellness techniques.
In today's society, people feel pressure to choose a side or struggle with what to say. It's hard to determine where you fit in or who to trust. This is not a way to go through life. I help clients decipher what is important and refocus on those things that matter most. While we can't change the world overnight, we can help influence and change our environment and be a positive light to those we encounter. Life is a journey with ups and downs but it's up to us to embrace each day and use it to accomplish something new and choose to see the joy in each moment.

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.
