The number one regret of the dying is “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
New year, new you? Maybe it’s getting back who you really are at the core. You feel like something is “off.” That’s ok. You might have an idea (or too many ideas or none at all) of how you want to show up in the world. Maybe you’re worried about what other people will think if you step into the dream life you really want. Perhaps you’re a little scared of claiming it. Your big dreams of loving who you are, loving what you do (and who you work with) and being in full alignment could feel like mission impossible right now. The good news is it’s all possible. You just need to take a next step. I’d love to support you!

I work with culturally/gender diverse populations in managing anxiety, panic, depression, PTSD, OCD, anger management, relationship issues, parenting, major life la transitions, grief/loss, terminal illness, and end-of- life.
Trauma is any experience that negatively impacts the way you feel or think about yourself, others, or the world. Do you feel like sometimes you cannot control your emotions, thoughts, or reactions? This is your nervous system fighting to keep you safe. I can help you identify your triggers and process your trauma so that you don't have to go through life carrying it all with you. You do not have to live this way. Together, we can shed the burden. Everyone's journey is unique. The brain is complicated but there are many evidence-based techniques out there that can help us clear the path to happiness.

For me, the following, short poem crystalizes the benefits that an effective therapeutic relationship can provide in navigating life's challenges: "Out of a great need we are all holding hands and climbing.
Let me help. In these dark and complicated times, our lives and culture are more complex and stressful than ever before, often taking a toll on our relationships. This is often the reason clients seek therapy - the relationship with ourselves, our loved ones, our community, and the world powerfully defines whether or not we feel safe and satisfied with our life. I'd like to help you deepen your awareness of how you relate to yourself and others and support you in navigating your world. We will work toward increasing your resiliency and making change, if that's what you want and need.

The therapeutic relationship is a powerful vehicle for transformation. Through developing a trusting relationship where all feelings are welcome, I teach people to trust themselves and thus live more satisfying and authentic lives. My primary theoretical approach is object relations. This implies that relationships imprinted in early life play out and can be reworked in therapy wherein the client can internalize healthier ways of interacting. I am privileged to engage in this deeply personal process with people motivated by their suffering to find more effective ways to relate to themselves and others.

Would humbly and courageously take one step closer to the life you always dreamed of by asking people (like me or even other friends) in your life to walk alongside you? You would be pleasantly surprised by the transformative power that a compassionate companion can bring to your journey.
Are you tired of being unable to do the things you want to do, but repeatedly do the things you do not want to do? Are your best intentions producing the kind of relational fruit you desire in your relationships? The invisible pain from the emotional, relational, and spiritual realm activates the same region of your brain that is under physical pain. The need for proper attention and treatment for this invisible pain is as urgent and necessary as physical pain. Your pain will be properly metabolized through validation and comfort and ready to be resurrected as wisdom, strength, and compassion

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.
