Adolescents: I enjoy working with adolescents to improve communication with parents and peers; Dealing with life/school stress; Dealing with body image issues; and Making decisions about the future, etc.
I work with individuals who want to talk to someone in a safe, confidential, encouraging setting. I see adults, adolescents, and couples working through a wide range of issues. Specifically, I see individuals who are dealing with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive issues, pain management, or weight management. A lot of my clients are dealing with life transitions and many are needing to make major life decisions. I also work with those who have typical life stressors in work, school, or home and find it extremely helpful to use therapy as a way to maintain positive mental health.

Everyone has a story to tell and everyone needs to learn how to know and tell their story more fully. Do you want to know how to tell your story more fully? Does your story cause you to feel anxious? Are you struggling to make sense of life? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? As Maya Angelou says “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. I would love to work with you.

My mission extends beyond just being a counselor—I aspire to build strong connections with my clients, walking alongside them through life's struggles to help them attain a more fulfilled life.
If you are currently looking at my profile, there is a specific reason that you are here. I will start by saying that I am encouraged by you because taking the first steps to seeking therapy is oftentimes the hardest part. That being said, the honest point that I want to make to you before you continue to read my bio is that I may not be the best fit for you- and that is perfectly okay. If you become interested in meeting me or seeing if I would make a good fit, there is no pressure to continue and I will help you find the best therapist for your needs.

More peace of mind, deeper connections, and more wisdom in everyday life are simply by-products of understanding, rather than something to learn how to practice or do.
Insight is the true catalyst for change. It’s that “a-ha moment” or change of heart that shifts your perspective and transforms your life. My approach is all about creating an atmosphere where powerful moments of insight are more likely to occur. Instead of focusing on coping with negative emotions or learning complex strategies, my aim is to share a simple, yet profound understanding that leads to lasting change. Together, we’ll unlock the clarity, peace of mind, and enjoyment that are already within you.

Sojourn means "to stay for a time in a place or to live temporarily". This is my view of our life on earth. It is a temporary stay, and our time here can be difficult, confusing and painful at times. Sometimes, we need help navigating. I believe that we each have a unique story and set of experiences that make us who we are. What we believe about ourselves and the world around us impacts how we feel and respond to life. I'd like to help you navigate life so that you may have the most abundant life possible.

“Am I broken?” This is a question that many of us ask ourselves when our lives become filled with suffering. It often arises after an experience leaves us struggling to return to normal or causes chaos to become our new normal. It's something considered after comparing ourselves to the people around us, friends, family, colleagues and seeing our differences. It is something we wonder when unending worry robs our life of joy or when overwhelming sadness and mental fog obscure the possibility of anything better. In actuality we do not break and within our misery we will find the tools needed to build ourselves a life worth living.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, career issues or stressors involving work/ life balance, I strive to create a hopeful atmosphere where we can calmly focus on reaching your full potential.
All people who engage in therapy seek the same basic thing - change. But the anxiety that comes with change can be overwhelming - Where do I begin? What's most important now? What needs to stay the same? How do I manage the consequences of change? How will it impact my relationships? Change is often daunting, even if it's "good" change. What's needed is someone who sees the best in you, helps you prioritize your steps, looks at your situation from a fresh perspective, and helps you navigate concrete goals along the way. That's what I gladly do with my clients on a regular basis.

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.
