About
As a licensed psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and healthcare leader, I bring a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach that helps clients feel truly seen while building practical strategies for healing, growth, and lasting change.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 7 years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and identity concerns. I often work with high-achieving professionals who feel emotionally exhausted, stuck, or disconnected and are seeking greater clarity, balance, and meaningful change in their lives.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Capella University. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy to help clients build insight and practical coping skills.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, unsure where to begin, or ready for meaningful change, therapy can be a supportive step forward. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward at your own pace with intention and confidence.

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.
In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.
Life coaching with our therapists in Edison, NJ is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Edison therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
More and more people are working with life coaches to navigate new obstacles and challenges that we are presented in life. Life coaches are also great for helping you achieve the goals you have in mind. Thriveworks Edison Therapy offers life coaching to anyone seeking the guidance they need to get the most out of life. Ready to start your journey? Call our office to schedule your appointment.
Consider this: If your life could be transformed from what it is now, what would you make different? Would you get a new job? Travel? Start a family? Life coaches can help you figure out what these goals are and give you the empowerment you need to actually go for it. When identifying your goals, it is important to acknowledge what challenges and roadblocks you have that are prohibiting you from reaching them. Our life coaches have the experience and skillset to help you figure out what these issues are and provide you with a strategy to move forward.
Your life coach will want to gauge your level of satisfaction in different areas of your life. These different categories can include:
Based on these categories, do you know what you would rank your overall satisfaction on a scale of 1-10? Do you feel like there are one or more categories that stand out of areas of unhappiness or dissatisfaction? Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a 10 in every area. However, by identifying where your unhappiness lies, your life coach will be able to better help you overcome the challenges in your way.
Here are some of the many benefits of working with a life coach:
Our life coaches at Thriveworks Edison Therapy help people just like Katie and Sebastian. We offer accomplished, experienced, and professional life coaches who have the qualifications necessary for this area of mental health. Beware, however, as some people who claim to be life coaches may not have the education and certifications required to be a licensed coach. Luckily, your search can be over! All of our coaches are reputable.
If you think that a life coach could help you navigate your way through the challenges you are facing in your personal or professional life, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Edison Therapy. Our life coaches have appointments available, including on the weekends and in the evenings. You can either set up an appointment by visiting our online booking portal or by calling our office to be connected with a scheduling specialist. Here at Thriveworks Edison, we pride ourselves on the ability to help our clients get assistance as soon as possible. That’s why we offer same-week appointments.
