Life Coaching
What is Life Coaching?
A life coach is a trained, certified practitioner like me who specializes in helping individuals identify and achieve their personal and professional goals. These goals commonly focus on careers, relationships, finances, health, spirituality, and personal growth. For those seeking a happier, better life, I provide guidance and motivation to help clients make positive changes, overcome obstacles, and unlock their full value.
Many people struggle with defining their life objectives and aspirations. Different from counseling and therapy, a life coach can offer advice and help clients set clear, meaningful intentions and action steps. Coaches work with clients to identify their values, strengths, and passions, which is essential for creating a pathway to a more fulfilling, joyful life. Life coaching also promotes self-awareness and personal growth.
In addtion, I help clients explore any beliefs, thought patterns, and behaviors that may be holding them back. Through self-reflection and introspective exercises and assessments, individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves. This results in improved decision-making, self-confidence, and emotional intelligence.

How Life Coaching Differs from Counseling & Therapy
Life coaching and counseling or therapy serve distinct purposes, despite sharing the common objective of personal growth. Life coaching primarily focuses on setting and achieving aspirations, enhancing performance, and navigating life transitions. It's forward-looking and action-oriented, often emphasizing skills-building. Unlike therapists, life coaches like me can also provide guidance and planning.
On the other hand, counseling and therapy address emotional and psychological issues, exploring and resolving past experiences to improve emotional well-being in the present. The process involves understanding and healing underlying issues, fostering self-awareness, and promoting resilience.
While coaching guides individuals toward specific objectives, counseling and therapy aim to enhance overall mental health and emotional balance through a deeper discovery of one's inner self. Coaches like me don't diagnose or treat mental health conditions, but we're trained to identify when a client may benefit from a referral to a licensed clinical counselor.
My holistic brand of life coaching blends the best aspects of traditional counseling and traditional coaching. Using therapeutic coaching, I offer a hybrid model for wellness that combines the essential elements of therapy with coaching. This method recognizes that individuals may have emotional or psychological factors impacting their ability to achieve optimal joy. I'm a firm believer in both counseling and coaching. People who are especially invested in personal and professional development may have both a coach and counselor.
