I work with individuals seeking guidance, emotional support, mental clarity, harmony in mind and body. Whether experiencing relationship conflict, stress, grief, trauma or seeking new perspectives and fresh solutions on your life journey, the essence of my approach is to provide a safe, supportive base where you can explore, understand, and heal issues causing discomfort and imbalance in your life. Physical limitations, social discomfort, and the challenge of living in a fast-paced changing world all contribute to "dis-ease" in the body/mind. This can present itself in the form of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, insomnia, eating disorders, addiction and more.

You can let go of the negative emotions caused by trauma, abuse (past and present), personal crisis, general anxiety, birth anxiety, or even life-long depression.
I operate from a strength based approach, using a powerful combination of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) hypnosis and Time Line Therapy®. I work in person and online. We will achieve success by uncovering the unconscious patterns and programming that is keeping you stuck! We work where behaviour, emotions and reactions are actually coming from. Huge shifts happen fast, even when they have been suffering for years. There is a way to heal that is easier and simpler - without talking about all the content, and reliving the pain. Free Consults available online and I will work on a sliding scale in these tough times.

You are Tired of feeling stuck. You want life to look and feel different but nothing you have tried has helped. You know there must be another way. You Snap more easily with your partner, your children, your loved ones and the Guilt shows up. You Know you can do better, but just feel lost and overwhelmed. You're tired of feeling not good enough when you are putting in 120% Every Day. You're a parent trying to juggle all the balls and you feel alone. The lack of sleep is taking it's toll and you're Googling "gentle" sleep consultants hoping more sleep will make a difference, but can't imagine leaving your baby to Cry It Out.

I offer a perspective on life that is unique in nature.
I work with you to try to integrate the mind, body and soul. I believe these three elements of our being together heal and allow us all to work through our past or current trauma and they allow us to build our new future self. In my practice, the client drives the model that works for them, and my role as your therapist is to understand your objectives and support you in the direction to get there. A holistic sense of self is awareness on multiple levels, so a mind, body and soul exploration and transformation is crucial to understand and shift ourselves.

Life Coaching Counsellors

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.
