Hi, I'm Lyssa

I am an experienced whole life and leadership confidence coach, and much more. But let's rewind a bit: I didn’t always wear these hats. Once upon a time, I was engrossed in a thriving therapy practice, helping individuals, couples, and families navigate significant life changes. My clinical focus was PTSD, Complex Trauma, and dissociative disorders + couples therapy thrown in for good measure.

Unlocking Inner Wisdom

Coaching allowed me to focus on drawing out the innate wisdom of my clients, sitting in childlike wonder, and using my curiosity to support my client to believe in their own powerful insights. I've learned that growth is a constant process. If we don't continue to evolve, we risk becoming stuck in behaviors and mindsets that hold us back. As a coach with over 20 years in clinical settings, I offer an external perspective that helps you recognize and shatter your limiting beliefs.

A Pivot Towards Potential

The clinical path was fulfilling, but I felt the limitations of the medical model of mental health. My clients needed more than just diagnoses; they had untapped potential yearning to be unleashed. So, in 2013, I decided it was time for a plot twist. I traded my therapist's chair for the dynamic world of professional coaching. It wasn’t just a career shift—it was a complete transformation in how I saw myself and the kind of impact I wanted to make.
