My ideal client is someone who is looking for support with life changes: going back to school, changing careers, changes in relationships, fulfillment of dreams and one's life calling. My ideal client would be working to resolve emotional blocks that prevent them from reaching their goals.

I know that being street smart is just as important as being book smart if you want success in life.
I am a Life Coach, Psychotherapist, and published author with 25 years of experience. My methods are unconventional, so you may expect exceptional results from our work together. I understand the real challenges people face because I've faced them, not just read about them. Of course I treat all of the standard "disorders" my colleagues list in their websites, but the real alchemy is in the transformation from your current situation, to the extraordinary one you have envisioned! I am the author of a book called, Tactical Boundaries: How to Make All of Your Relationships Work For You. Available on amazon.com & barnesandnoble.com

It is the combination of education and life experiences that enable me to work with a diversity of issues.
Basically, my approach is to get to the issue and prescribe a solution. I don't want to go to my car mechanic and have him ask me, "What do you think is wrong with your car...how would you fix it." If I knew what was wrong and how to fix it, I wouldn't have to pay a mechanic, I'd be fixing it my self. When I go therapy I ask my therapist to tell me what they see and give me some tools. After all, the goal is to get you through and out of therapy. ASSESSMENTS AND EVALUATIONS

My commitment to assist my client’s can make that therapeutic process less intimidating.

You have the ability to overcome whatever life challenges you face.
Have you been feeling stuck or limited? Do you believe that you will never feel loved or appreciated? Do you feel that no matter what you do the outcomes are always the same? Or no matter how hard you try you will never be good enough and fail? Well it is not a coincidence. We create negative beliefs and meanings (from our childhood) about ourselves to create these issues. Have you ever said to yourself over and over again "I'll never find love?" or "I'll probably fail" Well, they are not true, but you made it your reality through habitual ways of thinking, feeling, and acting.

After more than 30 years as an educator, minister, counselor, and consultant; I realized that the one thing I am most passionate about is working one-on-one with others – watching them discover clarity, restoration, hope, and passion. This is the single endeavor where I get to bring all that I am to all that I do. A former tenured professor of clinical and organizational psychology at Vanguard University, I taught graduate courses such as Psychosocial Stressors and Mental Health; Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality; Career Development; Behavior and Psychology in Organizations. I still teach at Concordia University.

I think that reaching out to a psychotherapist is one of the most important steps you can take and one that takes courage and willingness to explore difficult areas of life.
I enjoy supporting you through difficult periods in your life, my practice centers on facilitating a path where you can find your own voice and discover your ability to face challenges, heal from trauma, grow beyond the obstacles and develop empowering narratives from your experience. I have worked extensively with clients who have experienced issues related to "toxic" relationships and past trauma resulting in depression and anxiety. I can help you cope with life-transitions and choices that are demanding and stressful. I strongly believe that each of us comes into the world with the ability to heal and grow.

Through curiosity, empathy, and intuition, I will support your brave journey in discovering deeper parts of yourself while gaining more well-being and meaning in life.
It takes courage to find out who we are, what we need, and be willing to look at the different parts of ourselves to process and heal. I have always been drawn to the psyche (soul) and transpersonal psychology to capture each person's unique human experience. I provide a supportive and safe space, especially when working through vulnerable and painful aspects of life.

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.
