Life can be complex and complicated. Situations can become an overwhelming entanglement of emotions, fears, hurts, etc.. Difficulties can stem from a life transition, traumatic event, relationship dynamic, a buildup of experiences, or a general dissatisfaction with life. Together we can better understand your patterns of thoughts and behaviors to discover and change those that no longer serve you. Replacing these with positive thoughts and habits will help you to experience a fuller, more satisfying life. I look forward to working with you on your journey.

As you know, " life isn't easy.
Most of us humans have experienced trauma or simply too much stress. Thoughts, body sensations, and images/memories/dreams can cause more emotional and physical pain--and vice versa. To get rid of these unwanted things completely may be expected goals; but to diminish and manage them with less pain or tension is more realistic. To be understood by others, to feel more safe, to feel supported, to receive usable feedback and new ideas--these are goals I will surely help any client experience. Somatic Experiencing facilitates clients in moving forward, at their own pace, building more resilience self-acceptance and confidence.

I want to help you develop your resilience, make thoughtful decisions, and move forward in life.
Did you know that members of the LGBTQ+ community experience mental illness at higher rates than their cisgender, heterosexual counterparts? It’s not because being queer makes you predisposed to poor mental health, but because the adversity and prejudice experienced by marginalized populations can take such a toll on one’s mind. I want to provide a safe space to process trauma and stress that may be linked to living in a society that’s becoming increasingly hostile to those who have been “othered” by those in power.

Life comes with challenges.
I believe that therapy is the most successful when there is a trusting relationship between the therapist and the patient. In order to establish a connection, I strive to meet my patients where they are through providing an open and safe space which allows them to freely express themselves without judgment. We all have a story to tell and every story is different. Often times, between the lines of the story lies the clarity that allows for healing and forward movement. My goal is to read between the lines and help patients fill in the blanks.

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.
