Hey there! I’m Lyssa
I wasn’t always an author, a Master Certified Coach, an Executive and Whole Life Coach, or even an ICF Certified Mentor Coach. At one point, I had a thriving therapy practice supporting hundreds of clients.

My work focused on individuals, couples, and families in the middle of big changes, in need of developing tools. As you can imagine, this work was rewarding. Yet, I found myself struggling with the view of mental health through the lens of the medical model. There was more to my clients’ health and happiness than a correct diagnosis. I wanted to support them to not only become more functional but to develop into the awesome people they were capable of becoming.

I wanted to help amazing people reach their goals!
In 2013, driven by a desire to put a plot twist into my own story, I closed my private practice and transformed into a professional development coach. This transformation shifted my perspective. Not only in how I saw myself but in the work I wanted to do. I took my belief in my clients’ ability to be wildly successful in manifesting their dreams and focused on learning to draw their wisdom out of them. You believe the powerful wisdom locked inside of yourself when you hear it. You resonate when you find the keys to your dreams.

When we stop evolving as human beings, we run the real risk of getting stuck—stuck in habits that no longer serve us. The thinking and behaviors that got you here must continue to evolve to get you to your next step.

As someone who spent 20+ years in a clinical setting, I can often see connections and patterns where my clients can’t. Each of us has difficulty seeing our blind spots. By having that external perspective, you can learn to interrupt your negative narratives and challenge the limits you might be putting on yourself.

Coaching holds the space to allow you to get radically curious safely and break the cycle of unhealthy or unproductive behaviors. This disruptive spark will enable you to personally and professionally develop the areas of your life that will support you finding success. Ultimately, my goal is that every client I have recovers the knowledge that they are whole, capable, resourceful, and creative. They can create a story worth living.
