Clients that seek me are ready to access their inner childhood wounds and access a level of self-understanding that is life changing and transformative. My ideal clients are interested in NLP, unwiring limiting beliefs or learning how to address inner childhood wounds. Combining Frequency Healing, Strategic Intervention Coaching and Inner Child Trauma Spotting, we clear generational trauma, and any emotions being trapped and expressed as physical pain.

As a social worker of 32 years, I have spent my career supporting individuals, couples and families navigate through many life experiences from a holistic and strengths-based perspective. I believe that we all have the ability and capacity to face many of the challenges and hardships that arise in life but there are also times when we all need that extra support from a professional – someone to provide a different perspective, new insights, and helpful practical strategies to address and alleviate the distress being experienced and answers to questions that these times can illuminate.

We spend much of our life engaged in some form of work, whether it’s paid or not. And, if you are like many, you probably also spend a good deal of time experiencing a range of emotions when it comes to your career. You might be feeling stuck in your career, disconnected from your work, or feel as though you are capable of so much more. You might be wondering: How can I develop more confidence in my self and my career? How do I feel more motivated? How can I create satisfaction and meaning?

Navigating any sudden change in your life can heighten your emotions. Are you experiencing higher normal levels of.......frustration, stress, sadness, fear and feelings of loss & uncertainty. Have you had relationship changes, life changes or lost dreams? Grief is the pain that accompanies loss. Because it is a reflection of what we love, it can feel all-encompassing. Grief is not limited to the people we love who have died. We grieve when we have lost, something or things that we value. Loss entails that a part of you, a piece of your life, has died. Grieving the life you imagined for yourself, your future, even your present.

My practice, over the years, has become more and more attuned to problems of conflict and issues of violence. As a trained child psychologist, I have seen first hand the raw damage an emotional injury continues to create. As a clinician, it has not been unusual for me to see the same sorts of trauma: yet locked away in one's memory, living on in current behaviour. This is what conflict can do. The issues just seem to keep on repeating themselves, inevitably with the same unfortunate outcomes. (My role sometimes is the Life Coach who becomes a personal guide.)

As a Psychologist I assist with reaching new insights about current and past influences in your life; as a Coach I guide in designing practices for new results.
INSIGHT & PRACTICE FOR CHANGE: I believe we all have the inherent ability to live a meaningful, satisfying, and connected life. At some point most people will become aware or begin to feel that they are somehow "off course", that "something needs to change" or that something new is desired. This realization is an opportunity to "adjust course", take stock, and intentionally re-align our lives. Sometimes small shifts can make incredible differences; other times we are called to dig deep. Whether you want to make personal, professional or relationship shifts, by reaching out to me you can trust that the change process has already started.

I am an expert in relationships and have over 20 years of experience. I work from a psychobiological and attachment perspective and I help my clients understand themselves and each other on deeper level.

What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
