How is Coaching different from Therapy?

Parent life coaching can be therapeutic in nature, it is not therapy. Coaching is distinct from traditional therapy because it is not designed to address psychological issues. While emotional issues may arise, the primary focus of parent coaching is to help you identify your parenting goals, support your teen, improve your relationship, and how to advocate for your teen.

How to advocate for your teen?

There is little emphasis placed on the past with coaching, but instead the focus is on creating what you want now and in the future.

Is coaching confidential?

What we discuss will be held in confidence and not shared with others. However, our discussions are not privileged for legal purposes. The privilege of confidentiality that exists for the clergy, therapists and attorneys is not granted to coaching professionals. That said, life coaching is a confidential process, and your personal information will always be protected.

I support, empower, mentor and motivate parents as well as teenagers to identify goals and objectives to accomplish lasting self-improvement.

Do you experience feeling exhausted and overwhelmed in life relating to all you do? I work with people who feel like they are running on a hampster wheel, searching for a better life, looking for happiness, and seeking a feeling of wholeness.

It is my passion to help people navigate life challenges, process emotions, and figure out what matters to you, and what is important and needed for your personal healing and growth. Life can throw us curve balls and we fall down. Getting up in life is what matters and counseling can help you on your journey.

I meet you where you are at!! I am emotionally supportive and sometimes even funny. Therapy is a growing experience where you get to make life choices. Stressors occur in all of our lives, managing your mental well being is important to get you to where you are going on this journey.

Therapists are trained to help people who are struggling with mental health issues such as adjustments, depression, anxiety, PTSD, transition etc. This may include diagnosis, assessments, and treatment planning. Therapy can help you heal from past hurts and trauma. Therapy can also help you to grow into the best version of yourself. I like to think of therapy as keeping yourself as healthy as possible, without any stigma.

I am licensed mental health therapist in NC and FLA. I am also a parent of a young adult who struggled with mental health issues. I have two daughters, one son, and six grand babies. I love adventure, riding on my husband’s motorcycle, and living in the mountains of NC.

I recently left a full time position as the Clinical Director of a Christian Therapeutic Boarding School and I am a Christian. I have provided individual therapy and family therapy to teens, parents, and grandparents for teens struggling with men tan health issues.
