Somatic counseling to address root causes and the past, life coaching techniques to stay focused on the future, hypnotherapy to update deep seeded beliefs at the source, and energy work to help move what's stuck.
My ideal client is someone who thinks they're not enough or who holds back or hides their best selves. I enjoy working with over-thinkers, worriers, and perfectionists as well as clients who have many reasons to be happy but aren't. I am particularly adept at helping people who feel "different" learn to find their truth and finally own and celebrate their uniqueness. By removing the layers that often bury our authentic selves a sense of ease can replace the constant churn of worrying, and confidence can replace self doubt simply by updating old beliefs that no longer serve us so we can finally relax into who we really are.

Were you the kid who people told: "You have so much potential. Why can't you finish your work? And, why is your desk such a mess?" Are you the adult who has moments of brilliance but feel like you can never quite get it together? Are you often overwhelmed by all of the things you have to do? Many of my clients say they feel like they're falling behind their peers and don't know how to catch up. Others say they feel like no one really gets them & they have to put on a mask to fit in. Feeling different from others is taxing. Layers of shame & self-doubt can build on each other.

I am looking to work with people who are not satisfied with how things are in their life, and ready to take control in order for their lives to improve. In addition to actively listening and problem solving, I coach individuals to activate specific techniques designed to be applied throughout their daily lives. It is in the hands of the individual to apply these skills in order to reach their goals. If an individual is not quite there, we'll work together to figure out what's blocking their potential.

As a former cult member, I help people and their families who have been "unduly influenced." I am committed to helping people reclaim their personal power. I wrote four books including Freedom of Mind, Combating Cult Mind Control, and The Cult of Trump. My online courses include Understanding Cults: A Foundational Course. I help people from all over the world who have found that mental health professionals unless they are specialized in treating cult members, are at best a waste of time and resources, and worse, do further harm. A large part of my practice is short term work with former members.

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.
