Over the past 15 years, I have worked as a life coach. I have enjoyed merging the two skills of being both therapist and life coach. As a "theracoach" I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome self-criticism, doubt, sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, and relationship struggles. I work with individuals, parents, adolescents, and couples, giving them a different lens for self-perception. I believe every human being truly has their own answers within themselves. My job is to come alongside you and help you discover yours. The pain of the past forms a belief about our identity for today. It is this skewed perception of self that actually keeps us at odds with our choices about our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Using different techniques, such as CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, I help you process emotions, and identify limiting beliefs that have created roadblocks in your life. We work together to heal from pain, harness the power of true self-acceptance, and create peace and confidence. I am no stranger to life's adversities and I do my best to learn and grow as my own person so I can then continue to pass on the very gems I find along the way. I hold tight to the saying, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain."
