My approach to coaching and therapy is to set goals, resolve problems, create new ways of dealing with emotions and relationships and acquire skills for the future.
Depression, anxiety, transitions, relationship issues and crises of all kinds are part of life. While school teaches us how to think, we do not necessarily learn how to deal with our emotions, relationships, changing situations and the difficulties that life presents us with at many turns.
As a therapist/coach/emotion educator, I work with individuals, couples and families who deal with emotional, relationship and situational issues. I work well with people in crisis and transitions. And I teach skills that will help deal with these situations in the future.

Who is without life's challenging struggles? None of us are without pain.
My personal experience is of habitual self-judgement by our relentless inner critic, constantly running in the background. Who among would not benefit from the support of a nonjudgemental mirror, especially during these stressful times, to inspire our own kind self reflection and curiosity in the present moment, where life happens. It's our own self aggression that keeps us painfully stuck. What is "right" with us should be the first question! Daring to proclaim our fundamental OK-ness is our challenge. I dare you!

Embracing vulnerability, courage, shame, empathy and worthiness, we will work together to discover what is holding you back in life so you can move forward in brave new ways.
Life can be challenging - and fulfilling. Many of us want deeper, more authentic relationships but aren't sure how to create them. We wonder who to trust. We worry about what others think of us and are highly self critical. We want change in our lives but fear and confusion stop us. I will help you explore these areas and build skills to meet life's challenges. My approach is client centered and strength based. It is grounded in the research findings of Brene Brown as presented in her books, I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't), The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, The Power of Vulnerability, and Rising Strong.

Kat came to social work after several years as a public school teacher. After witnessing the significant impact that compassionate support and guidance had on families in her classroom, Kat decided to pursue a path more explicitly focused on caregivers’ mental health. She is excited about working with young adults in life transitions, those considering beginning families/TTC, and pregnant/postpartum/parenting individuals as she feels passionately that the wellness of caregivers has generational impact.

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.
