I am a life coach, psychotherapist (LCSW), a mother, a wife, and an outdoor enthusiast. I work to find balance in my own life by spending time in nature, practicing yoga, and spending time with my family. I love my profession, my family, and my life.
Truthfully, balancing everything I love doing is not an easy task. It has taken me a long time, 15 years as a Therapist and Life Coach, to figure out how to do my best and allow myself grace when I don’t. It took me years to realize that my goal to “have it all” had left me in a state of constant anxiety and stress that impacted me physically, mentally and emotionally. I wanted to change how I felt, and to do that, I realized I would have to first change how I thought, including my expectations and my understanding of a balanced life.
Life balance requires a lot of flexibility. I am grateful to have chosen a career that focuses on well-being, but I did not realize that “having it all” could be so challenging. Since discovering the truth, I have adapted, developed, and implemented practices and skills that I have learned from my profession to my own lifestyle and the lifestyles of hundreds of clients. I understand that I am in control of managing my mood, my thoughts, my behavior, and my actions. I can be intentional, mindful, and balanced.
This is not a given; it requires work every day. I can help you with this work. Together, we can find balance for you too. I believe living a life you love is always a work in progress. Finding balance at home, work, and play is something that needs to be fine tuned and managed daily. I have discovered a holistic approach to help you shift your thinking so you can create and maintain lasting change. I have become deeply committed to personal growth and engaging in activities that deepen my connection with my inner self. I can help you with this commitment too; let’s create productive and positive change in your life together.
I have a BA in Women’s Studies, an Masters in Social Work, and a Certification in Life Coaching and Sleep Coaching. As a LCSW with 15 years of experience in private practice and in the counseling profession, I am confident in my ability to facilitate change. What has helped me the most to overcome life’s difficulties and achieve my goals are the tools, strategies, and techniques that I now use to coach my clients.
