What do you love most about your job?
I love to work with people. It is a privilege to walk alongside somebody who is seeking some help in counseling and be able to provide him/her with the right tools or help that is needed to help them get through life difficulties and challenges. It is the most exciting and rewarding thing whenever I witness people's lives have been transformed and their relationships in a healthy place.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After years of training and private practice, I was finally inspired to start my own business in both counseling and coaching that have been uniquely woven and integrated together to bring the best result for clients and achieve their goals.
Why should our clients choose you?
It is the client's choice to choose which counselor he or she feels fit and wants to work with. In my years of experience, most time clients choose me because I truly care about them and they trust me in the process. After address the root cause of the issues I provide clients with the best tools and strategies while counseling and guiding them step by step. Most time clients receive the effects and see some good results in just a few sessions. For the fees, I am very flexible, with NO pressure on clients' side for I offer a sliding scale to suit their financial situation.

Mental Health Coaching
I am a Board-certified Mental Health coach.
Mental health is vital for a person’s well-being. Coaching in mental health is different from counseling. A mental health coach will help you to look into your life in a holistic way, and assess every aspect of your life that will eventually guide you toward your future goals. In coaching sessions, you will explore and discover your potential and gifts, awaken to the successful possibilities in life, learn to navigate through life transitions, embrace the realities, focus on your values and purposes, cultivate new habits, etc.
A coach can assist if you are stuck in the planning process. Also, assist as you clarify your vision and create a step-by-step action plan for your future.
At LifeAbove, with a great balance of compassion and accountability, the coach is committed to supporting you as you find success and life fulfillment through reaching your goals for your life.
The fee for a 45-50 minute individual coaching session is $90.
Individual or Couples Counseling
Our professional counseling service is a combined holistic approach to psychotherapy that allows different elements of therapies to work together for the best result according to each counselee’s needs and goals. It takes the view that there is no one theory alone holds the answer, no one approach can treat an individual in all situations, and no one size fits all. Rather, each person is considered as a whole and unique, which implies therapy is tailored to meet each person’s needs and concerns according to different circumstances.
From an integrative perspective in therapy, counseling involves a multi-modal approach that includes a range of therapeutic techniques. It is effective and beneficial in treating:
â–ª Anxiety
â–ª Depression
â–ª Past and current trauma, PTSD, CPTSD
â–ª Low self-esteem
â–ª Addiction
â–ª Bereavement
â–ª Marriage issues
The fee for the 50-minute individual counseling session is $100.
The fee for a couple in marriage counseling, or family counseling is $120.
