My ideal client may need help with confidence, relationships, or learning who they are. They aim to reduce symptoms of clinical diagnoses and work with me to see progress in their lives. This client would want to learn more about themselves and improve their relationships with others and with themselves. They would be a motivated and insightful client who attends sessions regularly and comes prepared with topics to discuss. I would help this client by listening to them and their thoughts, offering support, and building a rapport with them.

Sometimes life can be difficult and getting help from a professional can be beneficial. I approach therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping clients find their own way to the changes they desire. Within the context of each person's life, I seek to help clients integrate various aspects of mind and body to heal and enrich their lives. I create an environment where you will feel emotionally safe to talk freely about all aspects of your life.

Scheduling new appts in April. We all consider therapy for different reasons, but when we book the appointment and then actually show up, it’s because we hold a tiny bit of hope that talking to a therapist might help. If you are trying therapy for the first time or returning to foster greater self awareness, improved emotional regulation, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, I offer you space to explore that and the many other thoughts and feelings that show up during our lives. If your experience is related to pregnancy, infertility, or pregnancy loss, I am specialized to provide support in those areas.

Together, we will work on making the change you want in your life.
You haven't been able to please everyone, and trying to do so has made you exhausted. You've felt good enough to get things done, but nothing more. Keeping up with work, relationships, and your day-to-day to do list while feeling overwhelmed is no longer working. The anxiety, exhaustion and feeling out of control are getting harder to deal with. You hear something telling you, "It's time to make a change", but you haven't taken any action. You've been hoping everything will get better. Even if it doesn't, you hope no one will notice. You wanted to handle this on your own, but now, you wish for support.

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.
