We're all seem more anxious right now than ever, trying to navigate everything that is happening in our lives and our world. It's easy to get out of balance, hard to navigate our own lives and many things feel beyond our control. Drawing on my experience and training in existential philosophy and contemporary psychodynamic therapy...a compassionate rigorous insistence on taking responsibility for oneself, we’ll try to make sense of all this, navigating habits and patterns you keep falling back on; finding connections to the things you feel are most important in your life.

Life is an ongoing process of aligning with our true authentic self. Without that alignment life can feel barren and meaningless. We feel stuck and unable to realize our visions and dreams. Yet, the capacity of the human spirit for creative and intuitive development is truly unlimited. Most of us however, use only a small fraction of that capacity. Through self-reflection and personal exploration we can gain an understanding of what limits this capacity.

My coaching practice is compassion-based & uses tools like positive psychology, meditation & hypnotherapy to build confidence & resiliency. Clients include Millennials 20-45, Gen Xers 45-55, & Baby Boomers 56-74 dealing with relationships, career, concerns surrounding parenting, health issues/chronic illness (cancer, diabetes, thyroid disorders, COVID-19), LGBTQIA, disability, and grief from loss (job, parent/family member/friend, partner, child, home, bankruptcy, divorce/separation). My areas of expertise include life coaching, life transitions, love-relationships/dating, & confidence/self-esteem building.

We all have wounds to heal. Trauma is universal and each person has their own unique journey of healing and reintegration. Having learned this universal truth, I have chosen empathy, openness, and heart-centered care as key elements of my approach as a therapist and life coach.

When you struggle with executive function challenges like ones associated with ADHD, work and life can be challenging. ADHD coaching can help create structured actions that help you reach daily goals. It will provide the structure and planning needed to be successful. We work closely creating a tactical plan using customized strategies and habit building routines that will help you get to where you want to go in life. “A vision without a plan is just a dream. A plan without a vision will leave you uninspired. But a vision with a plan can guide your destiny to reality.” – Michelle

We are a seasoned group of clinicians with decades of experience. We specialize in working with children, teens, families, college-aged students, and adults navigating the special education process and major life transitions. Our goals for therapy include helping people navigate through their life struggles, and learning skills to ease the pain and take back their lives. We identify a clear plan of action to get to the place you're dreaming of. We don't get to choose our beginning, but we are the drivers of how our life turns out.
