Seeking help is the first step, so congratulations on taking this step! I believe in the philosophy that YOU are the expert of your own life.
I believe that the first step to helping individuals is for them to acknowledge that they need help. From there, I can support them in creating goals that they want to achieve so that they can feel confident and encouraged to face life's challenges.

I understand that life can feel overwhelming, and it takes courage to seek help.
An ideal client for me would be a 40-year-old woman struggling with anxiety and self-esteem issues. This client would feel overwhelmed by life's demands and needs help navigating challenges. I would imagine they would want to feel more in control of their emotions, set boundaries, improve self-esteem, and have a better quality of life they want to achieve. The goal would be to manage stress, develop a strong sense of self-worth, and create balance and fulfillment in life.

I'm driven by a desire to help you navigate your life in a way that feels genuine and manageable.
A willingness to be vulnerable is a sign of courage, an indicator of resilience, and a component of readiness. You being here tells me that. What happens now is unique; the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. It's a safe space to explore, challenge, and reflect, while alongside someone who specializes in the ability to help navigate it. I tend to introduce different therapeutic approaches, paying attention to how you respond, as a way of tailoring your treatment. I believe in the enhancement of self-acceptance as a foundational component for personal growth and improved quality of life.

When you’ve been managing anxiety, depression, or mood swings, it can feel like life is just happening to you. Or that you’re treading water, unable to swim to shore. Managing a health issue, a challenging relationship or trauma is tough. So are major life changes like marriage, divorce, parenthood, loss, illness, or a career change. Navigating these emotions and experiences is difficult to do alone. And when you’re feeling vulnerable, it’s not easy to ask for help. When you receive support from an experienced professional who is committed to helping you, you can finally stop treading water, begin to heal, and get to shore.

I know that there are challenges in each person's life and I strongly believe that talking helps. I engage those that I work with by using dynamic psychotherapy. This is an ongoing process of talking, thinking and feeling. As these elements are shared, reconsidered, and reviewed over time a deeper understanding of the self emerges. This understanding leads to more choices in one's life. I respect the abilities that people bring to the challenges of life and their capacities to make changes. I treat the person not the diagnosis. Please text or call (617) 480-5155.

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.
