As humans we are deeply influenced by our external environment. In turn, we risk losing our individuality. If you know this to be true, you might feel as though you are living a life that someone/something else has designed for you & that you feel you should look, act, & be a certain way. You may begin to realize that who you think you are, isn’t who you truly are & that it's time to be you regardless of what anyone says. However, the resistance & fear of your mind shows up & you remain living life as is. But the path to healing doesn’t start with the mind, it starts with the body b/c emotions are stored in the body.

I am honored by this work to support clients toward rediscovering their truth and living in the flow of life.
Are you feeling disconnected from yourself? Are you overwhelmed trying to keep up with life? You may find little solace in your typical self-care practices, or struggle to find stability amid changes in life and identity. Stress and anxiety are constant, and despite your accomplishments, you are not experiencing the happiness that you expected. You regularly feel on-edge or detached, and significantly struggle being present in your life. With others, you yearn for deep connection while doubting your ability to sustain a loving relationship.

Welcome! The way we respond to the challenges is about perspective. I believe that reconnection to yourself is an important place to start. Life can become a maze of work, family, and obligations. Losing yourself is easy to do and finding yourself can be difficult. I work with many people who are experiencing anxiety, sadness, stress and overwhelm with life, jobs, relationships, and social connections. As a professional, I know how important it is to feel heard, and to have someone say, I hear you, and I understand where you are coming from.

Let me assure you there are strategies, tools and safe spaces I will introduce you to that can change your life forever.
You are not alone, sister... Though you do your best to get up, get dressed (yoga pants count, ladies!) and smile while you uphold all your roles/responsibilities, you are actually living an anxious, panicked, stressed, overwhelmed and depressed life (or your daughter is). Your best version of YOU is locked away - longing. While you hope one day you'll just feel better, in the meantime you find yourself in the same place: struggling, anxious, frustrated, exhausted, detached, fearful, isolated, unsettled, desperate. I don't want you to settle for living this way any longer; there is hope and this does not have to be your "normal."

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.
