I have been an LMSW for 20 years moving into Coaching as I now understand how much our treatment systems and work environments often cause further harm.
I work with high functioning professionals with trauma inducing work and/or previous Traumas. Often, this leads to things like: unwanted habits, exhaustion/fatigue, low self worth, moral injury, compassion fatigue, etc. If you are living a 'successful' life, yet feel you got lost in it somewhere, let's talk! Unfortunately, stigma for mh and sud issues also exists for providers. Coaching is a tool that can address your targeted pain points and produce results - safely, confidentially and with support of a peer with vast knowledge in these matters and how they impact our work and lives (and vice versa).

I offer mental health informed life coaching for my clients to motivate, reorganize, restructure their thinking, incorporate best practices for personal wellness, set AND achieve goals.
Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed with your daily routine? Do you wish you had better control of your emotions so you can stay focused and motivated? Are you struggling to communicate with the people you interact with the most? We are inundated with influencers, inspiration, self-help resources, and an abundance of examples of self proclaimed high achievers. Doubt and distractions fill our minds and cloud our judgement. When people find themselves feeling overextended, the result can be emotional strain and feeling defeated. This can impact our motivation, drive, sense of purpose, and creates uncertainty.

Change is the only constant in life: we live in a complex, busy, and changing world that presents a variety of challenges, as well as opportunities, in our everyday lives. Our biological and psychological makeup, as well as our spiritual, cultural, social, and family backgrounds and support systems, have a lot to do with the ways we deal with these challenges.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you’ve said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou. This quote had become my life motto, as it is so true, the way you have been made to feel by another is what can make or break any person. Adults who have experienced trauma, substance abuse, mental heath, emotional exhaustion, and life’s various curveballs deserve to be heard and treated in an environment that is understanding, empathetic, safe, stable, supportive, and non judgmental to begin their journey to heal.

People want to be heard. That’s why I listen for your thoughts, ideas, but especially your feelings. Because they are where we all live. They are the heart of our lives and when that feels bad, everything feels bad. Sometimes it’s like you have been waiting all your life to tell your story. You don’t have to wait anymore. Recent research has shown that medication alone and therapies that focus only on behavior and not self-understanding and self-awareness cannot accomplish this. I can help you develop self-understanding so you can start making choices which enrich and uncomplicate your life. Why wait until it feels worse?

Our thoughts, feelings and behaviors have a big impact on the quality of our day to day life.
It is wonderful that you decided to begin the process of finding a therapist. I think that it is vital that you find someone that is a good fit for you. It is important to create an environment that is free of judgment so that you can feel safe expressing yourself. The way we form our identity is complex, many roles play a factor including our environment, family history, current relationships, and lifestyle. Through the journey of life, events both positive and painful help to mold us. The path of healing and exploration into yourself can lead to a stronger, happier, healthier you.

Talk therapy serves a valuable purpose by aiding your brain in processing challenging emotions during specific moments in your life and enabling introspection regarding associated thoughts. However, what if you find yourself trapped in the depressive, anxious, angry, or shameful mental state for so long that you have nothing new to explore? What if, despite recounting your traumatic experiences numerous times, your low energy, sadness, avoidance, anger, or impulsivity still persists? And what if the somatic reactions triggered by certain events are so intense and rapid that you are unable to employ sound judgment?

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.
