Together, we’ll craft a plan suited specifically to your needs so you can move past the fear and get back to living your life.
You’re on a plane. Ready for departure. Terror shoots from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head. “Why is it so hot in here?” Suddenly your hands are sweaty and you feel like you are about to faint. You’d be humiliated if anyone knew what you you’re going through, but you’re too frightened to hold it together. Your thoughts turn on you. “Am I having a heart attack? Am I dying? Heart is thumping violently. Throat feels like its closing. You shake uncontrollably. When the plane lands, you are being escorted off in a wheelchair. You have just experienced your first anxiety attack!

Allow me to help you with a brief therapy/cognitive or coaching approach.
I am a relationship therapist and life coach. My typical clients: You are having trouble with the difficult people in your life. You are emotionaly exhausted and miserable from the dynamics and drama, with no resoution. OR: You let others manipulate you. To please them you let your own needs be pushed aside to cater to the needs of others. You feel depleted, empty. OR: Your relationship with your partner is crumbling. The problems you had with previous mates keep re-appearing, now with this current one. You feel you don't deserve this and it's not your fault.

I work with individuals and couples facing challenges and wanting a better life.
You’re working hard, wanting a good life, but you find yourself feeling anxious, dissatisfied and unfulfilled. Perhaps you’re unhappy at work - feeling overwhelmed and burned out, with no end in sight or path forward to greater satisfaction. Or perhaps you are struggling with strong emotions, feeling anxious and depressed, having conflict in your important relationships, or feeling lonely and disconnected. And so many of us are experiencing major life transition - getting divorced, having children, starting a new job, becoming an empty nester, or retiring from a career.

If you are reading this, the stressors in your life may be outpacing your resources to deal with them. You may feel unhappy and unable to achieve your goals. Whether we face relationship problems, excessive anxiety, frequent overwhelm and other painful emotions; depressive or unstable moods, attention issues, or insufficient energy to cope with circumstances – any of these challenges may lead us to think that something is essentially wrong with us, or that we are somehow unworthy of getting what we want. Sometimes we have tried psychotherapy, but our difficulties have persisted despite our greater self-knowledge and best intentions.

Then your life improves! Biofeedback training is like learning to drive a car in the middle of the lane.
I love my approach to brain wave training with neurofeedback. It is broadly effective at producing substantial results in your life that are enduring. Most often I see people with anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD, migraine, PTSD, addictions, bipolar and autism. I believe that most people with psychological issues have brain wave activity that is either over-aroused or under-aroused. That is, either too much or too little brain wave activity in either the fast or slow frequencies. Mental problems are a timing issue in the brain. These timing issues can be corrected by practicing a better way to function.

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.
