Specialties

Therapeutic Life Coaching - My special life empowerment therapy and coaching approach emphasizes keen listening and transformational ontological coaching, focusing on values rather than complaints and dealing with life's circumstances in the present. This approach helps clients overcome limitations and embrace their true potential.

Career Counseling and Coaching - Support around personal and professional growth; clarifying career goals and implementing steps toward building a fulfilling career and meaningful work-life balance with a particular focus on therapists and other healthcare practitioners.

Trauma Informed Care - Development of coping strategies for uncomfortable emotions or situations; skills for emotional identification and regulation. Coping and healing from sexual, emotional, psychological, physical abuse and trauma. This approach emphasizes choice, authenticity, and transparency in the relational work.

Relationships with People and More - The quality of our life is determined by the quality of our connections. Relationships include those with others, food, money, sex, and unhelpful patterns and ways of being. Understanding one’s wants and needs; first and foremost within ourselves is essential. From there we address concerns, communication, and satisfaction in relationships and dating. Not just living a life out of default, but consciously creating a life you love.

Well-Being - Improving the quality of one's life through exploring and expanding healthy and balanced eating, sleeping, and exercise routines; strengthening self-care and stress management skills. Cultivating self-compassion, assertiveness, and confidence; developing ways to reduce suffering, anxiety, social withdrawal, and self-neglect.
