I will ask questions to help you discover what you are thinking about, what is happening in your life and how you are experiencing it. Together we will explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors that shape your life. You will learn to understand your story and how it informs the way you respond to situations causing you emotional difficulties.

When life is overwhelming and keeping up with all the changes seems impossible, fear, worry and despair can take over. It might be hard to remember  the last time you felt joy or at peace with yourself. You're wondering, will my life ever get better, is there a healthier way to cope? The answer is yes and I can help you.

Coaching will focus on: Removing obstacles to achieving your goals, receiving guidance in navigating life transitions, learning time management strategies, improving communication skills, stress management techniques and role play. Unlike therapy, coaching doesn’t diagnose or treat any mental health disorder. It helps people who are mentally and emotionally stable to have a more optimal life. Coaching can motivate and inspire you to achieve more than you believed was possible.

Asking questions will help you discover what you are thinking about, what is happening in your life and how you are experiencing it. Together we will explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors that shape your life. As you apply what you learn in therapy you will be able to work through problems, learn about yourself and how cognitions inform the way you respond to situations causing you distress. Learning healthy coping skills will help you with life’s challenges.

Relational therapy, sometimes referred to as relational-cultural therapy, is a therapeutic approach based on the idea that mutually satisfying relationships with others are necessary for one’s emotional well-being. This type of psychotherapy takes into account social factors, such as race, class, culture, and gender, and examines the power struggles and other issues that develop as a result of these factors, as well as how they relate to the relationships in a person’s life.

I understand it can be hard to talk about emotions; however, the insight you gain will be rewarding and bring you a sense of peace and relief. A successful therapy experience does not mean you are fixed; you were never broken. You will learn about yourself, & apply healthy coping skills to deal with life’s challenges. I will be your ally in the therapy process, caring about you and challenging you to grow. I will provide you with my expertise, confidentiality & a safe space for your emotions.
