About me

Hello beautiful being!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and transformative life coach. I have over 10 years experience working with adults to help support and enhance their quality of life. My passions are to help people find meaning, purpose, and direction in their life and everyday living. Happiness is a perspective followed by the reality you are able to create for yourself. In our work we explore what makes you unique, identify the life you want, explore what holds you back from that life, and plan to take control of your reality towards your desired life. I fundamentally believe people make the world go round and each of us has the capacity to impact others and the world in powerful ways! My hope and aim is that I can help others make a good impact.

Work towards a healthier you can be explored through a variety of mediums. I employ traditional and conventional practices such as cognitive or dialectical behavioral therapies (CBT & DBT), narrative therapy, family and couples therapy, and client-centered therapy. I also incorporate alternative modalities such as mindfulness and energetic healing therapies such as crystal, sound, reiki, aroma therapies to facilitate transitions.

Overall, we are all moving through life trying to make the best of our circumstances, exert our wills, and somehow cultivate satisfaction in our everyday dealings. Some environments, natural or social circumstances may make obtaining this can make it challenging. We may be left with feelings of dissatisfaction, hopelessness, or lack of confidence and direction. A little guidance, patience, compassion, and love creates impactful transformation!

Some focuses include:
-anxiety
-stress
-depression
-trauma
-organization
-focus
-phobias
-life transitions
-grief and loss
-removing negative energy
-raising vibrations
-self healing
-relationship issues
-interpersonal skills

Lydia is very empathetic yet grounded and matter of fact when needed. She really helped me take concrete steps to work on the issues I was having. She always remembered what had been going on with me and could connect back to things we had discussed many months ago which I really appreciated. She always brought key insights and framing that helped me understand what I was going through. Highly recommend!
