Let’s make progress, together.
Hi, I'm Lydia.
I’m glad you’re here.
For over two decades I have helped support and guide individuals and groups through the hard stuff, experiencing much of it myself. With an early career in counseling focused on relationships, addiction, and recovery, I moved to the business world to work in human resources, talent development, and people operations. Career changes, divorce, health, custody, workplace dysfunctions, parenting, family boundaries, the daily overwhelm of all the things and not enough time to do them… been there! A counselor at heart, what motivates my work at WiP is your progress - in whatever area you dare to pursue it, I can help.

"Working with Lydia has been a truly transformative experience. She is patient, nurturing, creative, and incredibly thoughtful. What impressed me most was how quickly she got to know me—something that felt effortless for her but made a world of difference for me. With other therapists, it often felt like we spent endless hours unpacking my history, but Lydia’s attuned nature allowed us to dive into meaningful work almost immediately. One of the things I appreciate most about Lydia is her practical, action-oriented approach. Instead of leaving sessions with vague homework like "reflect on your feelings," I’d walk away with something tangible: a book chapter to read, a chart to draw, or a phone call to make. Her creative, tailored assignments made every step of the process feel purposeful and achievable.
Lydia is also an incredible accountability partner. During moments when self-motivation faltered, she was there to help me stay on track with just the right balance of encouragement and structure. And while she’s a great listener, what sets her apart is that she always shares her perspective. Her insights are thoughtful and spot-on, and her willingness to contribute actively to our sessions was exactly what I needed. Her dual role as both a therapist and life coach makes her approach far more effective than any other professional I’ve worked with. Lydia has been instrumental in helping me navigate challenges, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough."
