Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Sexual Health
MENTAL
We all move through life with many different highs and lows, in many different realms of our lives.
Sometimes, we can get stuck in a way of thinking that keeps us from living the life we want to live. Forging new nuero-pathways, new lines of thought does take hard work, but it is so worth it!
Or sometimes, our mental conditions might cause our day to day living to be very challenging. Things can feel helpless, maybe like you’ve done all you can, and you don’t know what else to do. We can work together to really break down the day to day and strategize your success story based off of the very unique build of who you are.
EMOTIONAL
People often need space to tend to their emotions, or they are tired of overcoming them, or they are facing something new. Emotions can feel very overwhelming and all-consuming and keeping them in check can be exhausting.
Meeting with a coach is one of the first and best ways you can give yourself some space and take the first steps to healing.
SPIRITUAL
Working out your spiritual beliefs, making them your own, and growing into them can feel lonely, tiresome, unstable, or many other things! In the quiet and safe space of my office, we can talk through your beliefs, values, and journey to make your spirituality your own, in your own strength.
SEXUAL
Our sexuality is both a very big part of our lives that is both very personal and also socially trending. Our sexual health, whether it’s about our own identities, patterns, or relational experiences needs as much support as any other element of our health. Meeting with a coach can give you the safe and discreet space to truly think about, talk through, and work out your sexuality.
Relationship, Family, Marriage Support
All relationships are complex! Whether you are looking for support within your family of origin or your in-laws, a person you are dating or a person you are married to, a friendship, or a lost relationship, let’s talk. We can talk through the many different layers or complications that may be at hand and strategize your way with and through them or simply just hold the space to talk about them.
ADHD, Personal or Family Support
ADHD is a very relevant and significant experience for those who have ADHD and for those in relationship with someone who has ADHD.
To the one who is diagnosed with ADHD: finding your way through a world not designed for an ADHD mind causes significant stress and other co-morbid issues. There are ways to be successful in this world, but it does take personal awareness and advocacy, and working with mental health coach can be life-changing.
To the one in relationship with someone who has ADHD: your experience is valid. You need as much support as your loved one. As a spouse, there are ways you can operate in your relationship that will bring the most health to both of you, and your own health is needs to be a focus. As a parent, trying to do best by your ADHD child multiplies the energies demanded as a parent.
ADHD in the household needs a great amount of support, and meeting with a mental health coach can be very impactful in receiving the support you all need.

Goal Setting
Envisioning a specific future for yourself is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Taking that vision and breaking it down into smaller and reachable goals and then staying focused on those goals takes significant resources. Doing anything different than what you have always done comes with many pitfalls, valleys, and mountains. Having an extrinsic supporter, an accountability outside of yourself can make the exact difference you need to reach your goals.
Clinical Therapy Support
Clinical Counseling can be life changing, but sometimes it might just not seem like it’s enough. For the time in between sessions, we can talk about how to get through each day, each thought, each stressor. Clinical therapy will help you root out and heal past trauma and diagnosing mental conditions. Living with that trauma and those conditions often needs additional support, and coaching can bring the hope of your future to the actions of today while working with or around your clinical therapy.
Addiction and Recovery
There is a life where you live free and empowered. Just because you’ve been on one path, perhaps over and over again, doesn’t not mean you cannot take a different path.
Being in recovery of an addiction can feel like a full time job, and sometimes needs all of your attention. There are strategies and lifestyles that aid that recovery, and there are things that make the addiction feel undeniable.
Being in an addiction can feel like you are enslaved and finding the way out can feel impossible. But it’s not impossible. Get started now, you can get the help you need.
Suicide Prevention
For every individual looking at the end of their life, there is hope, and there are other options. There is a story beyond those darkest of moments. Let’s talk.
I have always loved two things: connecting with people & pursuing true understanding of presenting problems.
I have found that most of the time, being truly understood unlocks your own power and strength in moving forward. I see you. I believe in you. I will hold space for you until you can walk with your own belief in yourself.
