Helping people live a better life is my passion.
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, a challenging relationship or disconnected from yourself? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

Working with me you'll experience a combination of music therapy, voice work, coaching, and Reiki healing.
Hello, I'm Daiva (pronounced dive-ah), a Certified Music Therapist (MTA) and Reiki practitioner. I work with adults seeking to find their voice, overcome anxiety, and build confidence. My approach is anti-oppressive and I value decolonized ways of healing. Previous clients have experienced enhanced interpersonal relationships, a shift from living in worry about the future to living in trust, and feeling secure in their identity. If you're looking for something beyond talk therapy, perhaps a creative medium is what will serve you.

I am a relational therapist committed to creating a safe space for you explore your life, drawing on elements from cognitive as well as depth-oriented approaches.
Einstein said, “No problem can be solved with the same level of consciousness that created it.” If you are feeling stuck, joyless, and lacking the skills to grow beyond current limiting patterns or situations, a fresh new approach could be required. I work with clients who are ready to update their identity and transform anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and a lack of autonomy into confidence and experience, and step into their authentic power.

Guys have way more going on emotionally than most of us are comfortable talking about. If you have never talked to someone about whatever it is that you probably should talk to someone about, then I may be the guy for you. Some men come to my office after they've recently broken up with their girlfriend (or she has broken up with him). Some are dealing with anxiety or are living under the influence of depression. Some guys are trying to figure out who they really are and what to do with their life. What they all have in common is that they have strengths to draw on and want to advance in life feeling better than they do now.

I am not your expert - you are.  I am willing to co-create with you an atmosphere in which meaningful conversations can take place with a hope that we explore at least three things together: We can recapture some of your skills of living and knowledges of life and try to apply them to your present life circumstances. Part of the process is pure creation. I don’t not know what we may end up talking about. We have never met before. The very fact gives a chance to create ideas neither of us would be able to come up with on our own. Also I am willing to share with you my ideas coming from my both professional and personal experiences.

Maybe your goal is to rebuild a stronger connection with your authentic self, rediscovering the pieces that were lost along the way.

I see clients who struggle with existential crises, anxiety/depression, career and relationship struggles, parenting concerns, lack of motivation or confidence, or people who simply seek greater clarity, depth or direction in life.
As a philosophical therapist, I offer a supportive environment in which to explore your thoughts and emotions, as well as stimulating dialogue in which you will strengthen your ability to face challenges by using creative and deeply reflective thinking. The idea is to think big and come at problems from a fresh and sometimes surprising perspective. I also help problem-solve at the level of habits, when it's time to put our philosophical reflections into practice and make desired changes at the level of daily living. The goal is to discover a greater sense of possibility and to use that to live with greater clarity and authenticity.

We all know life can be challenging. However, sometimes parts of it can get too challenging, and we can’t seem to resolve our issues on our own, or even with the help we're currently getting. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or stress (or a combination of these), the way we’d like to live our life can seem out of our reach. This can happen to just about all of us at some point. The good news is we don’t have to struggle alone and a professional can really help change things.

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.
