Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Working with individuals, couples and families, enlightening them in ways to better understand their own potential and offering techniques and strategies to really achieve the life they want to be living.

I specialize in relationship coaching & counseling, intimacy and conflict resolution. It is liberating for a client to understand that they actually have everything they need to move right into the life they want to achieve. It is with strategy, organization, clarity, and accountability that this can be accomplished. It is the Life Coach that will hold the client accountable, will offer consistent support and will root for them every step of the way; and i believe this formula is the magic that makes this Life Coaching relationship work.

Working with intensive conflict-resolution and offering creative and unique tools that allow for amicable resolve is rewarding. Conflict seems to show up everywhere in our lives, and it is rare that we have been given the communication tools to allow for the most productive and holistic way to safely resolve any given situation. It is shocking to witness the loss client's experience without the ability to communicate in these painful situations. The ways to work through this are simpler than client's realize, and I am thrilled to introduce these skills any chance I am allowed the priviledge and opportunity.

I also have a specialty and particular focus on sexual identity and the impact that our sexual identity has on the intimacy in our most precious relationship(s) in life. I have a passion for working with LGBT issues. I believe in depth work to allow for true understanding of one's self at the core; this is in an effort to unlock access to the client's highest potential and ulimited self esteem.

 

More Info About My Practice

It is my belief that what keeps us from asking for some "coaching", guidance, or just asking someone to truly help us through our vulnerability, is the fear of being judged; maybe it is even the belief that we could never be helped. Let me commit to you a safe space where compassion and nonjudgement are consistent & guaranteed....in an interactive-relationship where we stimulate thoughts, ideas & feelings. I'm "in it" with you for conversation & guidance...journeying by your side. No matter how impossible it seems to shift the painful / confusing state you are in, it is possible. You carry more keys than you realize. Let me help you unlock doors to inner peace, & the freedom to be you.
