Life Coaching Therapists in Ottawa, ON

Change starts with the relationship that we form in the therapy and then continues by building useful skills in and outside of our sessions. In practice this means that I fit best with clients who are interested in (1) understanding more about their thoughts and emotions while also (2) taking clear steps to improve their mental and physical well-being. My job as the therapist is to provide a warm and caring environment to support the client in this process.

Helpers, healthcare workers, teachers, social workers and caregivers in general are some of the most compassionate and dedicated people I know. They are so dedicated to the folks they support they often don't realize the effect it has on their own emotional health and well-being. Working the front lines of social services for 20 years, I witnessed the impacts of workplace stress, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and full body and emotional burnout that can come from this unique work.

Anxiety, a low self image or troubling habits can stop us from living up to our full potential. Maybe you are feeling it at work, in relationships, parenting or what you do in your spare time. Perhaps you are not following your passions because you are scared or feel unworthy or don't really know what your passions are. Well, the good news is that you are not giving up on your dreams. You are here! As a social worker and life coach, I have been helping my clients to uncover and follow their dreams to a peaceful, happy and fulfilled life for over 20 years. I believe in my clients' potential and I believe in you.

As a career counsellor I support and guide my clients in a reflective and strategic process, helping them to identify and leverage the power of their lived experiences and diverse talents. I work with clients who are seeking perspective, clarity and customized approaches as they navigate change, challenges, and fulfillment in their career lives. I coach clients who are experiencing stress/burnout to discover and integrate positive and sustainable solutions. I assist young adults in building the foundations for a career life. I help clients redefine and create new work after age 60, and map out personally meaningful next steps.

Are you struggling with addiction or disconnected from others? Are you looking to improve relationships, mood and personal well being? Using a realistic, non judgmental, client centered approach, I help my clients overcome addiction, anxiety and ADHD to explore resiliency and rewrite your narrative. I believe that being honest, giving feedback, feel understood and validated, you are more able to accept yourselves and better understand your needs. I can help you move away from the scripts you have learned and discover a desirable and measurable change. I offer a free 15 min video/ phone consultation to new clients.

I provide warm, heart-connected and empathetic counselling, coaching, mediation and hypnotherapy services to individuals, couples and families. I concentrate on "wholistic" healing and empowerment rather than on being clinical and "helping". Basically, I form what I call a "Healing Partnership" with the people who come for my services. I tend to be quite eclectic and bring a wide range of skills, techniques, modalities and wisdom to each counselling interaction. Please contact me to enhance your life and to make the most of each moment. My favourite slogan is: "Listening well is the most eloquent sign of caring."
