I have successfully guided thousands of people to more meaning, a clearer sense of their unique path, and a better life.
Going for counselling does NOT mean you are bad, sick or crazy. It means you are searching for a new path in life. I have helped clients from diverse cultures, races, genders, faiths, and sexual orientations. Trauma comes from the Greek word for “wound,” and like curing any wound, appropriate healing actions need to be taken.

I have always had a natural inclination towards choice theory and constructive theory which looks at the resources each individual has which allow them to make the changes they long for. I also embrace eclectic theory, which emphasizes that each client is different and that my therapeutic approach needs to adjust to the client’s needs.

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.
