My approach to therapy is integrative and includes the mental, physical, spiritual, energetic and emotional components of healing. I am eclectic and use a variety of counseling techniques and bodywork modalities to match the client's needs and situation. My ideal client is one who has used traditional talk therapy and is 'stuck' in the loop of the mind and wishes to heal, change, grow or resolve and move on with life. Most conditions are improved by my approach, especially with those who are willing. I see couples for relationship counseling using a you/me/us approach. It works!

I know that there are times in everyone's life where it just seems that it is a bit too much, and you need someone in your corner.
All clients are important and have something to gain from working with someone who can support them in becoming more of the person they want to be. Life seems to get ahead of us at times and having a person to work through issues with, to talk about things with, and to share with can be critical. I believe therapy is a participatory activity, I partner with you through your therapy journey. The first session we discuss what is going on and what your goals are, and at the end of that session we talk about some of the steps we will take to get there.

I have worked inpatient at The Meadows as a therapist and director and I believe that therapy can empower you and give you the tools to live a life that you love.
Are you living the life that you want to live? Whether it’s relationships that aren’t working, a traumatic experience you’ve been through, or the struggle to cope with intense emotions of your day-to-day life, to have struggles is to be human. So often we feel overwhelmed and miserable because we either don’t know a better way or because we think suffering is our only option. It is possible to move through pain without getting lost in it, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. If you’re tired of being ruled by your emotions or your trauma, I can help.

If you’re ADHD, autistic, gifted, “twice exceptional,” or otherwise neurodivergent, you’ve got a specialized, high-performance brain. When you’re doing something you love, everything just works. It's the rest of life that's incredibly stressful. Neurodivergent people experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, trauma, school refusal, substance abuse, you name it. Neurodivergent people hear, “Try harder," but your whole life is harder. "Try harder" is cruel and a strategic mistake. You're not going to rewire your brain, and why should you?

One's choice to begin counseling is a positive decision towards self-care, improved relationships and a proactive way to handle life's hardships. Counseling provides an opportunity to learn ways to gain control over one's life, whether that be through trauma healing, relationship repair or one's own self awareness. I believe that the power of empathy within counseling can be life changing.

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.
