I don't make formal diagnoses or deal with insurance in this very efficient tele- coaching medium, so I can offer my service VERY affordably in this role.
When you are not understanding each other & when you think your relationships are stuck or damaged, an objective & experienced family coach could help. If going to a family therapy office is any barrier, discreet video telecounseling sessions or phone calls from your home might be the solution to start to understand each other & rebuild your relationships stronger than ever. Individuals who are considering/ready to make personal changes will also find nonjudgmental coaching & support in clarifying & "operationalizing" their goals & understanding themselves better. I bring my therapist experience when older 'scars' are discovered.

My clinical training and experience include: Harvard and Boston University medical centers, counseling military personnel, 20 years experience working with Silicon Valley executives, and executive coaching for US and international companies.
Leadership Skills, Performance Enhancement and Life Coaching. I am confident in the ability of the individual to change. We all face many difficult challenges in life, but these can become opportunities for growth and personal development. Most of us have never really learned the optimal skills and strategies to deal with these challenges. After 30 years working with individuals from a great variety of economic, educational and cultural backgrounds, I have found that identifying and letting go of our old, unproductive coping strategies, and replacing them with new ways of engaging with the world, allows us to live in a more rewarding and productive fashion.

Coaching can help us discover our own strengths, find our own paths, and develop the self-knowledge and resilience necessary to enhance our intimate, emotional, creative and professional lives.
EVERYONE NEEDS A COACH. Everyone faces challenges for which they are not adequately prepared at some point in life: an executive leadership position, a career change or retirement, a creative block, difficulties forming or sustaining a romantic relationship, the complexities of parenting, divorce, or disability. We usually expect ourselves to just do whatever needs to be done, on our own. That attitude often leads to unanticipated hardships and difficulties, which could be avoided by seeking the appropriate counsel.

Clinical Life Coaching is life coaching with an eye towards mental health.
Whether we're struggling with anxiety, overthinking a career pivot or grappling with self-destructive relationship patterns, this work is about changing our relationship with the noise in heads so we can live with more authenticity and freedom. Through a hybrid of therapeutic and coaching interventions I work with clients to alchemize original wounds into assets, challenge cognitive distortions, identify core confusions and intervene on unconscious, fear-based belief systems. No mind hacks, no mantras, just compassionate straight-talk that will demand your grit, your courage, and most likely a sense of humor.

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.
