LP, 25 years of experience
I am a psychotherapist and life coach with over 25 years of experience practicing in the Washington, DC, area. I specialize in human potential, relationship health, life transitions, and coping with stressful situations. I have trained extensively with professional and master coaches and I work with a diverse clientele that include young professionals at the beginning of their careers as well as executives and corporate leaders in the financial industry. I believe that clarity enables us to take a stand for what we want in life. It allows us to make a commitment to take action to create a meaningful and purposeful life.
After initial introductions, we will spend some time talking about values, goals, and desired outcomes. We will then talk about current obstacles and challenges and formulate a plan to work together.
I bring a non-judgmental and compassionate approach to my client work.
I work with clients who are on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Some of my clients are young professionals who are starting out and navigating through career and relationship challenges. Others are seasoned professionals who are going through difficult life transitions. I provide unconditional support from a place of love and integrity, and I believe that the power of transformation is within the clients.
Using my experience in life-coaching, I work collaboratively with clients to achieve their life goals, focusing on overcoming obstacles /difficult life situations and pursuing activities that bring happiness and fulfillment.
By embracing a compassion-focused approach, I work from a place of non-judgement to allow my clients space to heal from past trauma and embrace choices that are aligned with their life journey and essence.
I use this approach with clients who have struggled with past trauma and self-destructive patterns of behavior. Clients are taught the use of mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques to cope with stressful situations and triggering events.
I use this approach to help clients overcome anxiety and depression, by focusing on the present and teaching a mind -body approach to deal with negative energy and thoughts.
This is an approach that I incorporate into my practice to help clients focus on self-care and enhance their well- being. By embracing a practice of gratitude and developing healthy relationships with supportive and caring individuals, clients will improve their self-efficacy and develop a more fulfilling life.
