Do you ever feel like life just keeps happening and you are trying to keep up? That feeling of holding your breathe; preparing yourself for whatever may come next? Situations, transitions, people, our past all can take a toll on both our minds and bodies. To cope; we rationalize away whatever is happening and how we are feeling. As we try to keep pushing forward there is still this doubt; this lingering feeling of either wanting help, wanting things to change or just wanting to feel better. Taking that first step may not be easy; but I am here to support you to make yourself a priority, to make progess for yourself, not perfection.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years’ experience. As a Focusing Oriented Therapist, I have found that teaching focusing helps people learn to listen to an inner guiding voice that reveals what is true and right for them. Teaching focusing gives individuals more confidence in themselves and in sensing and knowing what is best for them. Learning focusing help individuals to trust their gut so they can live their own truth. Focusing is a gentle, fast and effective therapy as compared with other treatment models. Learning how to focus will enable you to find and change where your life is stuck and/or cramped.

From the outside in, your life looks good. You have everything you need and most of what you want: material possessions, a career, a family, friends, or a relationship. Yet in quiet moments it gnaws at you; the feeling that something isn’t right. Your job might be more mundane than meaningful, you don’t know how to communicate your needs to your loved ones, or life seems empty after suffering a loss. Maybe you hoped all those external things you chased would change something permanently, but you remained feeling incomplete. Perhaps you’re starting to think that something inside will need to change and you don’t know where to begin.

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.
