I strive to make therapy be a positive, productive part of your life where you feel valued, understood, encouraged, and supported both where you are right now and as you explore where you'd like to be.
This being human thing is tricky, isn’t it? At times we all feel a bit lost and alone, overwhelmed, regretful of the past, or fearful of the future. Perhaps you see yourself trying to do everything “right” in order to get to where you want to be or think you’re supposed to be, only to find yourself not making much progress or getting stuck in the same place? Or maybe at this point you’re not even sure anymore what the “right” thing is or where to go from here? I too have experienced this place of frustration. Change is possible and can bring more clarity, healing, connection, strength, calm, and joy!

Exploring our past & present experiences is the key to unlocking a true abundant life.
Sometimes people see counseling/ coaching as a process that could be negative: trying to decipher & share feelings, opening up old wounds, resistance to change. It’s uncomfortable and uncertain to delve deep into these areas of our life. We all want to live “our best lives”. We strive to be financially secure, take care of our physical health through diet & exercise, see the benefit of being social and doing fun things, attempt to engage in meaningful relationships, seek spirituality and a sense of transcendence. But we fail in many of these pursuits when we don't understand our own inner-workings.

I draw from a humanistic perspective alongside cognitive-behavioral therapy to address personal issues as they restrict your ability to enjoy your life.
I meet clients where they are at in their personal process: your needs guide the counseling session. My depth of experience underpins my work as a clinician. My goal is for you to feel heard and understood, which allows you to make positive lasting changes. Conditions treated with success in working with younger to older adults include life dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, grief, social isolation, relationship concerns, panic attacks, compulsive and addictive behaviors, identity struggles and those suffering from PTSD. I have additional training in treating women and their families impacted by postpartum depression.

Life is worth living well. Our biggest obstacle to living a life we love is the constant and habitual ramblings of our minds: the judgments, the doubt, the dwelling in past suffering and the negative predictions of what the future will bring. True freedom comes when we break free from the thoughts that create pain, dissatisfaction and frustration. There are also situations where we have negative feelings that seem to "come out of nowhere". This is due to unconscious processes that trigger painful emotions. I provide tools that effectively work with the unconscious and direct it toward healthy outcomes.

Profound healing can be found in relationship with God, and His Word contains the "prescription" for life.
Remember the saying," Two heads are better than one?" I believe counseling should be collaborative. Both counselor and client bring knowledge and experience to the table. Together we can go over what strategies have not worked and implement new ones. Many life problems are complex, having biological, psychological, and/or social factors, but all are spiritually implicated in some way. My Christ-centered approach emphasizes Biblical renewing of the mind and spiritual growth, in addition to practical, proven strategies to help you overcome. I will support and care for you, strive to restore hope, and walk with you on your journey!

I have a deep clinical and personal understanding of the impact that living life in “survival mode” has on personal growth, mental health, self discovery and expression.
Have major parts of you been overshadowed by the stress of just trying to survive and get by? Have the expectations and demands from others to be a certain way left no room for self-discovery, acceptance and expansion? Painful past experiences, childhood trauma, and oppressive environments have taught many of us to silence our needs, prioritize others, not trust ourselves, and bury our true feelings. You are on the path to the next phase in your journey, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I know that even in light of the inner drive to reclaim authenticity, experiences from our past can linger and get in the way.

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.
