If you are in search of understanding or change or just some clarity in your life story, give me a call.
I believe everyone has a story, a unique story. Sometimes our story needs editing, sometimes it needs revision. Sometimes it just needs the next chapter to be written. This is what I believe can be accomplished with therapy but only when the person has decided the story needs to be explored. I work to help individuals better understand their unique personality and the way they process their thoughts and emotions and how these thoughts and emotions impact their relationships.

I have a special interest in working with adults adjusting to life stage issues.
Many years ago, French Philosopher Albert Camus wrote, "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer and that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger, something better, pushing right back". I believe therapy is an opportunity to find your invincible summer, the something stronger that resides within. Emotional pain is real, sometimes overwhelming, even paralyzing. Therapy is a safe place where we explore what's not working for you and together find solutions and make adjustments to restore balance and tranquility.

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.
