COACHING FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

Relationship, career, life, & health coaching

While the insight gained in therapy is what creates the ability for change, some of the most impactful changes occur in the space between therapy sessions, when you apply the learnings and insights to challenges as they happen. For existing therapy clients, we provide a unique opportunity to add weekly coaching sessions to support you in between therapy sessions and assist you in reaching tangible life goals.

In our coaching sessions, we break down your larger goals into SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) goals with concrete, actionable weekly steps. This additional support is based on where you are in your therapy journey, and what you hope to achieve. While therapy works on dealing with the past and healing, coaching can help take you from where you are in the present to where you wish to be.

Please note: coaching may not be appropriate for all clients and is available by application only.

FIND CLARITY & PURPOSE IN LIFE

Our approach to healing

Our therapists are experts in trauma and are committed to a holistic, customized approach that targets the root of the problem. Our approach is compassionate, curious and creative. Our practice is also completely online so that therapy is easily accessible for the busy on-the-go professional.

Inclusive

Trauma, depression, and anxiety do not discriminate. They are universal, human problems. We’re committed to providing anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care.

Holistic

Through somatic therapy we’ll address physical symptoms showing up in the body, along with inner child work to reacquaint you with the unmet needs of your younger selves, and EMDR which helps reprocess traumatic memories.

Tailored

Gaining insight into how your upbringing may be impacting your current life gives you agency and allows you to decide what healing looks like for you. We support your self-leadership, so that you can become your own healer and handle whatever life throws you.

THERAPY DOG/INTERN
SHE/HER

I work best with people who tell me I am the cutest dog they have ever seen.

I am an 18 month old Cavalier King Charles. I’ve been with my forever family for over a year now, and I’ve heard them say that I’ve turned their life upside down, which must be so fun for them. I am the goodest dog (I think), and I love them unconditionally.

I will jump on camera during therapy sessions if I sense that someone is sad and needs my support. My mom tells me not to, but I noticed that it makes the person less sad, so I will keep doing my job and one day they will understand my method.

I am still training to be a therapy dog because I love making people happy and can’t wait to have my own clients.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER & LIFE COACH
SHE/HER

Asking for help is hard, but it’s easier than struggling on your own, and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I love being part of the transformation a client goes through from feeling alone and hopeless to realizing that there is always hope. Life is full of possibilities, and we can help you find them.

I specialize in helping young professional women conceptualize their business goals and launch their first successful business. In addition, I support young professional women in identifying the barriers that may be preventing them from achieving their goals and providing them with concrete actionable steps to overcome these barriers. This can look like unlearning the stigma that society has imposed on young women leaders and supporting them in building self-esteem, confidence, and healthy boundaries in their personal and professional life.

Education and license::

  • Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Indiana University -Bloomington, 2004
  • I’ve been working in operations management for over 12 years, in a variety of sectors, including hospitality, digital marketing, architecture, and finally healthcare. I can’t think of a better place for me to be- not only do I get to utilize my strength in leading a wonderful team, and creating a great experience for our clients, but I am also helping people heal and grow.

CLINICAL SUPERVISOR & LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR
SHE/HER

I work best with young professionals who are struggling at work or in their personal relationships and feel stuck.

Taking the first step to start therapy can feel intimidating. You may not be sure what you should be looking for in a therapist, or you might feel that no one is really able to help you. All these feelings are normal.

My approach to therapy is to create a supportive and compassionate space that will allow us to challenge and explore patterns of behavior, relationship dynamics, thoughts and experiences, while allowing healing to occur on the path to achieving your therapeutic goals.

Each individual’s path to healing is different. My background in Family Trauma Therapy gives me a unique approach. I use various therapeutic modalities that are person-centered and trauma-informed. I have experience treating adults from diverse cultural backgrounds having a range of concerns. I am also bilingual in Arabic and English.
