Everyone attempts changing things in their lives to be happier, more fulfilled, and successful. Many times, those changes fall short or are neglected because the results aren’t what we expected. If the changes you are trying to make aren’t working, maybe you are trying to change the wrong things. I focus on client-centered coaching to help you define happiness, fulfillment and success from your own terms that are unique to you and your life. I’ll help you evaluate your perspective and how it is affecting your overall happiness and motivation. I’ll provide guidance into your self-identity and see how that reflects in your life goals.

My working background includes addressing self-esteem, anxiety, trauma, grief, family issues, anger management, ADHD, life transitions, and PTSD.
Sometimes we find ourselves questioning the deeper meaning of our lives, feeling overwhelmed, or disconnected from our true selves. Reflections like these often mark the beginning of a journey towards growth and healing. I focus on creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your present feelings and how they influence your behaviors. Other approaches I utilize in helping you navigate daily challenges involve identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors, as well as reframing them.

We are not wired to cope with life alone.
You may find your emotions to be overwhelming, or even consuming. It's as if they override your decisions. When things are bad, they feel really bad. Afraid of your own feelings, you find yourself going to great lengths to avoid them all together. Maybe, traditional talk therapy just has not worked for you. Perhaps you are looking for an approach to therapy that dives deeper. Tired of trying to force change? Healing is never brought about by force. Instead, through the understanding of neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to change), we will meet the natural conditions that foster organic growth and healing.

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.
