Let me help you find that new life.
You're not happy.  You're not really sure when it all began, but slowly you find your life less fulfilling.  You can't find the motivation to get anything done, you're struggling to concentrate at work, and nothing interests you anymore.  It's like you're slipping into some black hole, and every day you sink just a little further. Sometimes, it's the anxiety that bothers you.  You're worried all the time, and it's making it hard just to function. You feel like you just can't take this insanity anymore. And then, this thought crosses your mind, "Maybe it would be better if I just didn't exist anymore." And this thought scares you...

I work with individuals, couples and groups with a wide range of clinical issues including depression, insomnia, anxiety and stress, relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, medical health issues (adjustment to and management of chronic diagnoses, infertility, pain, prenatal and postnatal health, bariatric assessment, business & workplace concerns), and life transitions (marriage, college, retirement, parenthood etc.
I work at ARC Counseling and Wellness both online and in person. I utilize treatment approaches based upon the unique needs of each client while considering the scientific efficacy of each therapeutic intervention. My experience and training have made me sensitive to the fact that no two clients are the same and thus I approach treatment with consideration of each client's values, cultural identity, religious or spiritual beliefs, strengths, and life experiences. I endeavor to provide a supportive therapeutic environment in which clients may become empowered and move towards a greater quality of life.

My belief is that we are happiest when we are mentally, spiritually, and physically balanced. Sometimes things happen that disrupt this balance, and impact our ability to lead a fulfilling life. My goal is to partner with people to discover balance, as well as provide hope and healing to those who are hurting. I know it can be uncomfortable thinking about going to counseling, and many wait until things seem hopeless. I believe that there is always hope, and with the right tools and support, you can move forward and begin enjoying life to the fullest.

You need to know that you will not always feel this way – that you will feel whole again and experience the good in life, that your relationships will heal and grow, that you will experience hope for a future that has joy and meaning.
We are all aware that life can be challenging, and often feels out of our control. Sometimes we are surrounded by obstacles that seem insurmountable, and at other times even the simple things overwhelm us. There are days when you know exactly what is bothering you, and other days that it feels as though you're walking through a heavy cloud and simply can't find your way through. You want things to get better, but you can't make it happen. You've tried different ways of controlling or changing your situation, or just "looking on the bright side," but perhaps more often than you would like those efforts fall short.

As children, we can struggle with development and/or behavior and as parents, we can feel very isolated or lost. As we grow and develop we go through many transitions and sometimes we just need someone with us along the way. We may struggle with self esteem, depression, anxiety or even trauma.

But I also teach clients actual techniques that they can make a daily part of their life.
I struggled immensly with anxiety and depression for many years. In my teens and twenties I was in and out of emergency rooms because of panic attacks. In 1997 I started studying mindfulness meditation with Jon Kabat-Zinn and everything changed from that point forward. Once I learned how to have better control over my thoughts and emotions, anxiety and depression became much easier to deal with. I became a therapist and mindfulness teacher to help others gain the same skills.

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.
