Life Coaching
Life coaching is future focused.
There is no diagnosis or medical model based assessment needed.
Coaching is a space in which you can feel empowered to change your life with effective tools, techniques, and specific action plans. You can learn to better communicate your wants and needs, and discover ways to be kinder to yourself and others.
You already possess the tools to make positive changes in the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of your life - you just need someone to teach you how to wield them. Working with a coach is an opportunity to create specific, measurable, meaningful, achievable, realistic, and timely goals so that you can find direction and work towards balance.
Therapy
Sometimes the past has a way of informing your present day so much that the type of change which coaching facilitates may not be accessible to you. In that case, therapy may be invaluable.
Therapy offers you the chance to work with a state licensed professional skilled in diagnosing and treating negative cognitions, behaviors, maladaptive attachment patterns, and relational issues.
In working with me as your therapist, we will have the opportunity to focus on how your past traumas are impacting you today, and discover ways to re-process these events so you can live a more expansive life.
Therapy provides a non-judgmental setting in which you can learn to overcome familiar patterns by being witnessed and heard, and acquire tools and develop skills to improve your mental health. Working together, I can guide you to recognize and regulate your emotions, discover new, better, and more effective coping mechanisms, and move from dysfunction to function.
I work remotely with anyone in Pennsylvania or Delaware, or in person under the Center for Healthier Relationships, Individuals, and Sexualities in Center City Philadelphia.
Death Coaching
Grief shows up in ways and places we may not expect it.
There is so much about death, dying, and grief that is kept hidden from our consciousness.
As a death coach and grief companion, I can sit with individuals who may have a terminal diagnosis, or caregivers of people who are near end of life, or people who are mourning a recent death.
I understand death to be a natural part of life. Sometimes dying will happen in ways that feel unnatural, and I'm here to be by your side as you learn more about this transition. This can show up as education, advocacy, consultation, or emotional support. We have to opportunity discuss autonomy in end of life planning, anticipatory grief, and more ethical and sustainable funeral and burial methods.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health in Delaware, I can provide supervision to clinicians seeking LPC or PCMH licensure.
Group Therapy can be beneficial as a space to connect with others in a contained and confidential way, while also learning that your experience may be less isolated than it feels.
