Sometimes, life holds nothing back. We’re totally overwhelmed. It’s all too much. Too much busy-ness, too much hurry, and too much stress. While you’re a master of taking care of everything and everyone around you, taking care of YOU is often forgotten. And your regular pattern of “go, go, go…” leads to anxiety, burnout, or trauma. And so, you’re just…exhausted. You know something has to change. You know life has more to offer. But you’re not sure where to start.

Part of being human means creating balance as you navigate the curveballs of life. Therapy with me means we meet you where you are and you are at the helm of your healing journey. I believe you are your own healer and already possess the wisdom you need to make the best decision for you. Sometimes that looks like slowing down and taking a pause to look backwards in order to move forward. Other times it looks like learning to make space around your anxious thoughts and feelings to actively practice control over them instead of letting them control you.

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

Are you an adult child of immigrants who struggles with setting boundaries with your parents, family, friends, and/or partner? Maybe you're used to being the fixer, caregiver, co-parent, and all around problem solver for your family. Does the idea of saying "no" make you feel guilty? Perhaps you've never really put yourself first because the idea of choosing yourself over others is unthinkable. Do you feel a constant battle between your head and your heart? It's hard not to feel stuck when you're unable to move forward on the path you really want for yourself or when you don't even know what you want and need.

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.
