Achieving Proper Work-Life Balance
Your work (or school) life should have to adapt to your personal life. Start feeling better about work, your homelife, and how the two intersect. Learn how to reduce the chance of burn-out and increase workplace resilience by setting healthy work boundaries/limits for yourself and with your employer. People who believe they are being exploited in some way by their employer or who feel obliged to work more/harder than they need to tend to be rather discontented workers. It’s time to start getting more satisfaction from work and begin to fully enjoy your time outside of work. Through this holistic, multidisciplinary approach, you will:
Get real-life practice with assertive communication, giving/receiving feedback, setting boundaries, and self-advocacy in the workplace
Make personal improvements based on the results of sleep, time management, and general wellness audits
Enhance your conflict management skills and receive individualized help with problem-solving
Receive guidance on working towards further development of personal interests and making time for enriching leisure/educational opportunities outside of work
Learn time management and organizational skills, while also addressing issues with task initiation/procrastination, maintaining focus, limiting distractions, and task completion
Address tendencies toward perfectionism that may be getting in your way

Finding Your Success with OCD & Anxiety
Have you struggled with OCD and/or anxiety and are looking for something in addition to or instead of (if you’ve already attended therapy for these conditions) therapy? Therapy helps a person understand and recover from mental illness, but coaching can help you attain your long-term goals while better adapting mental illness to fit life as you want it. Stop being a passive recipient of what mental illness may throw at you and take the initiative to pursue your goals while also learning new ways to respond to your symptoms. Anxiety can come in many forms including but not limited to social anxiety, performance anxiety (including fears of public speaking), and nervous habits (like nail-biting)–see improvement with all of these things! I can help you:
Manage stress and anxiety in a way that focuses on proactive behaviors/deliberate actions, rather than learning how to respond to mental health symptoms as they occur.
Use role-playing, writing, and other creative means to change problematic habits/behaviors as part of specialized learning processes.
Enhance and optimize the benefits of therapy (if actively in therapy) by way of increased accountability and motivation.
Become a more active participant in therapy outside of your appointments by getting help incorporating behavioral exercises (i.e., exposure and response prevention exercises common in OCD and anxiety treatment) and other therapy homework into your schedule, mitigating any tendencies toward procrastination or avoidance.
Create solid long-term plans with deadlines that are achievable, adapted for your specific mental health needs.
Promoting Self-Advocacy through Better Communication
Do you feel like you’ve gone through life always saying “yes” to others without any thought for what it is that you want or need? Do you find yourself having trouble sticking up for yourself in situations that demand fierce self-advocacy. Do you feel like the proverbial doormat who is everything to everybody but won’t do anything to help themselves? It’s never too late to change how you present yourself to others to more accurately match the person you are inside. You have your own interests, values, positions, goals, and life direction/aspirations which can all co-exist with those of the people around you. Stop being a people pleaser and learn that what is best for the people in your life and those respective relationships is open, assertive communication among all parties about wants and needs, expectations, and boundaries. I will help you:
Learn and practice effective communication, taking into account past problematic interpersonal communication patterns, and increasing the prioritization of your wants and needs in your communication with others, all while maintaining a sustainable level of care and concern for others’ wants and needs. Assertive, self-advocating communication is the key to ending people-pleasing tendencies and silencing of your true voice!
Discover the benefits of being able to freely and effectively give and receive feedback in your relationships when appropriate, even though it sometimes may go against cultural/societal norms which don’t promote constructive criticism as a part of healthy discourse.
Run through past, present, and anticipated conflicts with another person to develop adaptive responses and make them become more automatic.
Establish boundaries and set expectations for others ahead of time to mitigate future conflict and create healthier relationships.
