Sometimes life can be hard and feel very confusing.
What constitutes a traumatic event is a very personal experience. Often it isn’t until you are in therapy that you discover the full implications and impact on the quality of your life. The footprint of trauma can show itself as difficulty at work, unhealthy relationship patterns, anxiety, depression, or a lack of sleep. It can also be the total and complete interruption of your life. What you may think is anxiety or depression could be early trauma or developmental trauma. It can also be complex trauma created after multiple events and experiences. It is never what's wrong with you but what's happened to you!

Life can feel overwhelming, and navigating through emotional challenges can be daunting.
My ideal client is someone who feels emotionally dysregulated, has lost their sense of identity, and no longer finds joy in activities they once enjoyed. They may feel lost or be experiencing a significant life transition. These individuals are seeking to reconnect with themselves, discover their purpose, and live a meaningful life. They are eager to experience healthy emotions and foster positive connections and relationships. They are open to new possibilities and are willing to explore what a different, fulfilling life could look like. These clients are committed to healing from their trauma and continuing on a growth journey.

I have full confidence that you can change, heal, and take back your life.
Feeling like a mere shadow of who you used to be, just going through the motions. The constant pretending and performing is draining. You've faced some tough challenges—it's overwhelming. You want to feel good again, without those past struggles constantly resurfacing. So, you put on a brave face, trying to be the person everyone expects you to be. But your relationships are shaky, and it’s frustrating when you lose your temper with someone you care about or can’t accomplish what you want to. You're worried others will grow tired of dealing with all your trauma. You're out of ideas on how to turn things around.

I feel honored to walk alongside others in their life journey. I believe that everyone has a unique outlook on life and deserves to live into their potential. My goal as a therapist is to create space for people to find healing, and grow in awareness of their innate strengths and abilities. You are the expert on your life, and together we can work towards healing and wholeness. Therapy can be nerve-wracking and scary, especially if it’s a new thing, and I value the courage it takes to enter into a new space and be vulnerable. I’ve been there too!

Like most human beings, you are doing your best trying to deal with the cards life dealt you. You are motivated and want to improve the quality of your life; only life hasn’t always provided you with the answers. If you are like most people, you have put in a lot of effort and often ended up disappointed in those ‘proven’ methods. However, your life and your brain are unique. Just like you can’t debate whether a hammer or screwdriver is ‘better’, there is no ‘best’ psychological method.

I believe that people have the innate power to positively change the course of their lives with a supportive environment. When you are in a challenging situation, you naturally feel ambivalence about change since it requires letting go of the familiar for something unknown.

Life is full of opposition, loss, and uncertainty. However, we are ALL complicated, unique AND RESILIENT beings! Many times feelings of helplessness can prevent us from reaching our full potential. Therapy is a collaborative relationship where two or more individuals work together to bring light to life's questions and unlock strengths we already hold inside... a judgement-free-environment to open up and explore new opportunities while healing and learning from life's challenges. Overcome negative self-beliefs while creating your desired reality... journeys that ultimately lead to a state of wellbeing and overall contentment. AKA Whole Person Happiness!

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.
