After all, the gift of reflection is gaining deeper awareness to help move through life's many transitions.
Do you feel alone? Does your family or friends struggle to understand your anxiety or depression feelings? It's not too late to welcome healing in the face of trauma, or other life stressors. Mental health doesn't discriminate, neither does the power of therapy. Compassion is at the core of my practice and I'll always ensure that you feel seen, supported, and safe in our sessions.

The clients I most often work with are trying to manage changes in their lives as well as depression, anxiety, self-esteem and a variety of other mental health concerns. They have found that handling daily tasks, finding motivation, energy, and strength to handle life's challenges has become overwhelming. This can be due to current life stressors, or the manifestation of life events from the past. The focus in working together will be to identify your needs and goals, and implement changes and added insight to help you achieve these goals.

I really enjoy seeing clients develop a more compassionate way of life, that enables them to live more fully present with their own experience.
Anxiety, again, don’t you ever take a break? Of course you don’t. Before work, at work, after work. Intense anxiety is hard. I get it, I’ve been there. It’s difficult to feel like you’re constantly pushing through each day, just trying to survive. Making matters worse, there’s no energy left to actually find a better way to live. If you're honest, sometimes It’s hard to believe that a path out of survival mode exists at all. Facing a challenge like anxiety alone is overwhelming.

Do you struggle with figuring out the aspects of your life that serve you and the aspects of your life you need to break up with? Do you struggle with identifying ways to deal with sources of depression and anxiety? Are you trying to figure out ways to live a happier and more content life aligned with your most authentic self? Now, more than ever, most people report feeling disconnected from their jobs, romantic relationships, familial relationships, and lives. Sometimes, the mind and body’s way of telling us that something needs to change is discomfort, which is our instinct’s way of sending an alert signal.

When people honor their desires and tell their stories, they feel less stuck and life gets better.
Do you ever feel like you're wearing a mask to cover up how you really feel? One of the challenges of personal problems is the pressure to seem like everything's fine. Many of us stifle important parts of ourselves with romantic partners, friends, family and colleagues, fearing that doing otherwise will come at a cost. But masking our feelings often shows up as anxiety, depression, lack of self-care, or dissatisfaction with our relationships.

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.
