Contentment and happiness can often feel elusive in the busy, complicated lives that we lead. Sometimes, understanding the reason for our unhappiness seems just as elusive. The way we feel about our true selves as well as the meaning we give certain events in our lives can effect how we cope with the challenges that come our way. Often, we find ourselves in situations that feel beyond our control to recover from. Deep down, you are resilient, and know life could feel better than it does.

By replacing insecurities and poor habits with positive proactive ones, young people will gain lifelong positive attributes and abilities.
To young people the world is chaotic; filled with academic, parental and peer pressures. Their inner strengths and desires get lost amid the noise. I teach my client to see through the chaos and to take control of what is best for each of them. Young people need another voice, an objective voice that makes them question who they are and what they want. Not only the voice of a parent, teacher or school because all three are unable to be truly objective. My role is that of mentor/guide asking the question "What is it that you really want?"

I help individuals understand how their past experiences impact their work, life transitions, and relationships with self and others and to reprocess past traumatic experiences with EMDR.
Do you feel trapped? Are you stuck in survival mode? You might be burning out, drowning in tasks, having difficulty speaking up for yourself or setting boundaries, growing resentful of your boss, family or partner, and abandoning your self care. Relying on substance use or other addictive behaviors to keep going or just keep your head above water? All you want is some silence, calm, and peace, but life keeps cycling in chaos.

Life can be very tough.
My clients are more than the challenges they are facing, whether it be depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, etc. My clients are people first who are looking for guidance in creating the coping skills necessary for relief and a fulfilling life. It is important to my clients that their therapist truly hear their concerns, needs, and goals, as well as be the person they can be fully transparent. A safe and nurturing setting is created with my clients in order for mutual trust, openness, and respect to emerge. My clients want to see the evolvement of positive changes occur in their lives, as do I.

This background provides me tools to alleviate people's symptoms, and to produce a transformation that allows them to have a happier and more fulfilled life.
We all experience emotional and physical difficulties from time to time. Often we are able to deal with these life experiences ourselves. Sometimes, however, it is not possible for us to resolve these challenges alone. In these situations professional help is appropriate. Until fifty years ago anyone experiencing psychological and/or physical stress was treated individually. Family therapy grew out of a simple but profound idea: People in crisis can often be best understood and treated within their own famiies. As a certified family therapist, as well as a certified psychoanalyst, I have the education necessary to see both famiies and individuals.

Therapy can be a safe way for individuals to address the underlying causes of their depression or anxiety. It is a way for individuals to develop internal tools and to gain support to manage their emotions that prevent them from living a happier and more meaningful life. Therapy can be a way to learn more about yourself and to set aside time to take care of yourself.

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.
