You want to appear successful, like you have it “all together” but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or cope with challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. You feel the pressure to be perfect all the time and you spend a lot of your time making sure everyone else is taken care of, but you some how neglect your own needs. Maybe you’re tired of stressing out, tearing yourself apart every time you mess up, or feeling like you’re about to crumble at any second. At this point, it may be hard to even remember when you didn't feel like this. But one thing is for sure, you’re ready for some relief.

If you are ready to do the work, to move through the challenges, to live a more fulfilling life then I want to partner with you on your path to healing! I know that you can do more than exist and I want to support you on your journey to thrive!.
Change can be difficult for many people but wanting to feel better is a start. I believe that challenges lead to growth and an opportunity to live a more fulfilling life. Common reasons for seeking therapy include difficulty adjusting to life changes and transitions, dissatisfaction in significant relationships, coping with traumatic life experiences, and difficulty managing feelings. I work with individuals and groups to lessen the impact of trauma; develop healthy boundaries and coping skills; improve relationships and communication skills; and increase self-esteem/self-acceptance.

I've spent my adult life helping others achieve their relationship goals.
Imagine waking up everyday inspired that you are loved and appreciated, deeply known and secure in your most important relationships. Imagine being fulfilled by knowing exactly how to show love to those same people. I love helping couples make their relationships great, from wherever they begin. I believe love is a verb by which we make strategic choices that are deeply rewarding and emotionally fulfilling. Built on attraction and attachment choices, love takes many forms but ultimately is our response to our deepest drives for meaning.

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.
