As a cognitive-behavior specialist, I do as much teaching and coaching as counseling.
CHANGE your THINKING, CHANGE your LIFE -- in WEEKS, not years. Over 50% of my clients obtain the results they want within 7 sessions. “Children learn what they live; then as adults, they LIVE WHAT THEY LEARNED.” Often this is the basis for one's problems. Resolve your problems by learning new information and skills that I will teach you. “DON'T REPEAT PROBLEMS. RESOLVE THEM.” Research and my 25+ years experience document that this is the quickest, most effective approach to resolving problems to live a happier, healthier, more satisfying life. Medication treats symptoms, not causes; correct the causes. Reviews @ Healthgrades.com

With many years of experience in the field working with a broad range of people from many different cultures and from many walks of life, I am grateful to be able to say with confidence to all who suffer that there is hope, that you matter, and that you are not alone.
Inasmuch as we all face suffering in various forms throughout our lives, the good news is that there is hope for healing, and we don't have to go it alone. If you are experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, marital, relationship, and/or parenting issues, the effects of trauma, loneliness, addictive/compulsive behaviors, are struggling with a life transition or with pastoral/leadership challenges, are desiring support in your spiritual journey, or perhaps are simply unsure of where to turn, I would be grateful for the opportunity to journey with you toward the abundant life you were created for in Christ (Jn 10:10).

As a counselor, nurse, and mother, I've been a "helper" for most of my life, working with people in counseling and crisis situations for over 30 years.
Asking for help isn't always easy, so I have tremendous respect for the courage and strength it takes to seek professional guidance. Working from the belief that change is always possible, I help my clients identify their strengths, what's getting in the way of making changes in their life, and the most effective ways to achieve their goals. My style of counseling is supportive and collaborative, with an emphasis on respect, encouragement, and hope.

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.
