But what good are all those if your counselor doesn't have life experiences to provide accurate commiseration for so many of life's difficult situations? Well, consider me a Full Service Counselor.
Studies show women attend counseling nearly 2-1 vs men. That said men, understandably, have cultivated a natural and valid discomfort for talking out issues, with the legitimate fear of being harshly judged or truly not heard. Well, I’d like to help men who find counseling uncomfortable. Suicide is the 11th overall cause of death in America. MIDDLE-AGE men have the HIGHEST rate of suicide making up nearly 70% of those total numbers. I’m here to help those men that want to find help, and need to truly be heard. As far as my approach, I’m a combination of holistic and realistic. Women are welcome as well, Im equal opportunity!

I am here to support those navigating a season of spiritual deconstruction, church or spiritual abuse, life transitions, grief, divorce, forgiveness issues, OCD, narcissistic relationships, vocation and calling, and seasons of discernment.
Thriving in a world torn apart by broken relationships, unmet expectations, and ongoing heartache can seem like a far off dream. While navigating the ups and downs of life can be challenging, I believe God uses our pain to help us see ourselves, to see God, and to see others more accurately. I am passionate about helping people move from brokenness and sorrow to hope and restoration, and I believe that this journey is not meant to be an independent one. I’m here as a companion for this journey to help you to uncover your God-given identity, and embrace a healthy sense of self.

Business & Leadership Coaching.
My ideal client is the person who is stuck in uncertainty, and struggling to find clarity in their identity or there role in life. My expertise as an experienced counselor & coach is in partnering for creating the perfect outcome or vision/goals. Often the roadblocks are related to fear, low self-confidence, lack of effective communication development, or adequate emotional expression. Included are anger management and relational issues. I focus on the whole individual for healthy healing and maturity. As self-growth expands a high level of achievement and success is the by-product both personally as well as professionally.

I enjoy working with adults and older adults navigating the gains and losses of life's domains, including health, aging and life transitions, relationships, academics, finances, and work.
As we all continue to navigate life's transitions and changes, we eventually find ourselves needing guidance and support along the way. Whether you or someone you know is currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can often be a helpful, rewarding, and life-changing experience. Finding and choosing a therapist, however, could be challenging and overwhelming. Not only must practical matters be considered, such as fees and scheduling, so must the therapist's style, approach, and qualifications. In other words, it has to be a "good fit" and it must "feel right."

I commend you for taking this step! To help simplify, ask yourself - can I envision myself sharing parts of my life and experiences with this person? If your answer is 'yes', please email me or give my office a call to get started!.
Not Accepting New Clients At This Time - Do you feel like you're doing "everything right" yet you still feel like something is "off"? Somehow you feel both anxious and depressed at the same time yet you can't pinpoint why? Or maybe you can pinpoint why - you just received an unwanted diagnosis, a loved one passed away, you're dealing with past trauma, going through a divorce, or trying to adjust from living at home to living in a dorm. Maybe in an effort to cope, you've turned to alcohol, food or some other escape. But you're tired of just surviving and you're ready to start thriving.

Whether life is going well or you are struggling to feel well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Finding the right therapist, however, could be overwhelming. With investments of energy, time, and money, it is important to select a therapist with whom you feel comfortable—someone that "gets" you and in whom you have trust and confidence. I enjoy helping adults understand their barriers and strengths to help them meet their goals in the various aspects of their lives, such as relationships, work, school, and health.

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.
