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.

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.

I have a passion for helping people begin to figure out who they are, what they want in life, and how to get it.
Now accepting new clients. I believe we all have a story of how we think our lives are going to play out in our heads. When that story does not come true it leaves us feeling lost, sad, and sometimes angry. I provide a safe place to help people be able to make sense of life and start rebuilding themselves and their relationships.

Waitlist for new clients
My ideal client is one who is ready for change. I don't know many people who change when they are comfortable. By the time an individual or couple walks into a counseling office, they are usually in enough discomfort with their current reality that they are ready to work towards something new. I want to join with clients to identify what is not working, the source of their discomfort, and help set them up for and walk with them into successful healing, change and overall health.

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.
