I work collaboratively with individuals and families to provide structured guidance in order to improve their overall quality of life.
What happens to intelligence, talent, passion and potential without direction or guidance? Typically not much.... What happens when these same qualities are cultivated and partnered with caring guidance and development? People can achieve their potential! They can have richer, more satisfying lives. I actively work to encourage, motivate, and challenge individuals and families to explore themselves and each other. Through this discovery, together we process and heal, leaving room for growth and development.

My life purpose is to help others Journey to a Positive Future.
Many of us are so busy "doing" in our everyday lives. What is also true is that despite that busyness, we are lonely and sense that no one really sees our real, true and authentic selves. We are afraid to stop evaluating ourselves by our productivity. We are afraid to just be and connect to our real purpose in being here in this lifetime. I assist others in coming back to those basic premises in life. Why am I here? What do I have to offer? Is this all there is? Am I making a difference and am I happy?

We all have times when we need someone to listen to us without judgement and help us to find our own answers.

Feelings of depression, anxiety & shame can be overwhelming for someone struggling with addiction. Self-esteem and relationships are greatly impacted. Family and friends can feel confused and helpless when a loved one is hurting & communication is often strained. Learning to manage your emotions with greater insight and improved coping skills will allow for a more balanced life for you and your loved ones.

No one is immune to the ups and downs of life.
Anxiety is crippling your teenager. There are few things more devastating for a parent than watching your child suffer and not knowing how to help. You don’t want to fuel your child’s anxiety with your own, but it’s hard to stay calm and reassuring when you feel helpless and overwhelmed. Thus, anxiety escalates—for you and your teen. Teenagers today are under immense pressure to achieve, especially those from affluent families, and the pressure is taking a profound toll on their mental health. In fact, children of affluent families have significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression, psychosomatic symptoms, and substance abuse.

We all feel stuck at some point in life.
I specialize in integrative individual and couples therapy for the mind and body. My perspective on therapy starts with the central belief that if you listen to your clients, they will always tell you what's going on. While that may seem very basic, unfortunately, there is very little listening going on these days. When we are listened to and are unconditionally respected and accepted, we instinctively have the right stuff inside of us to figure out our issues. That is how we grow. Helping you find that inner strength and resolve is what makes me uniquely qualified to help. With weekend and evening hours available call today!

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.
