Life Coaching Therapists in Halifax, NS
Welcome! It is important to me that my clients feel safe, supported, and heard at all times. I know from my own experience that starting counselling can be scary, but I am here to meet you with warmth, compassion, and non-judgement. I believe that our past wounds and the hustle bustle of every day life can make a lot of us feel overwhelmed and dis-connected from ourselves. I would love to assist you in coming home to yourself by re-connecting to your inner wisdom and guiding you in creating nurturing habits. It is my hope that you will experience a blossoming sense of self-worth and a growing capacity to navigate life’s challenges.

Let’s embark on this journey together, making progress towards a more fulfilling life!.
With over 25 years of experience as a therapist in the mental health field, I believe the most crucial aspect of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I prioritize understanding your perspective and supporting your personal growth from there. Mental health challenges often lead to avoidance, which can complicate and diminish life satisfaction over time. It can be tough to get out of bed or complete daily tasks, but my training and experience equip me to help you reclaim a fulfilling life.

I have seen dramatic change in my clients experience of life as a result of my unique approach which combines Somatic therapy and identity work.
If you decide to connect with me for counselling I first focus on building a strong relationship with you to give us a foundation to work from. Whatever issues you are facing I am ready to partner with you to explore the history of the issue and work on making effective change happen. I use a Somatic approach which considers how your nervous system works, the effects of trauma / PTSD, and focuses on balancing the mind / body system. I also use a Narrative therapy approach considering identity and meaning making. Finally I incorporate Psychoanalytic theory and practice to consider life long human development.

Viktor Frankl writes: "If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
You are not alone in seeking greater purpose in life. Some have suggested that in our time, we are experiencing a "meaning crisis." Our purpose may be hidden in plain sight: everyday experiences of relationship and career, community and culture, grief and longing. We feel stuck in the stresses of a fast-paced modern life: making a living, digital technology and screen time. We need to carve out time and space for reflection on priorities, to get clear on what's really important and what's getting in the way of living well. As Carl Jung once said, "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart."

Sometimes we are living at our best, in harmony with the highs and lows of life. Other times we are stressed, uncertain, overwhelmed and need help with the balance. Relationships are impacted, connections may be strained between family members, past experiences can affect the ability to live in the present moment. Major life transitions can be difficult, and feelings may seem too big to manage.

I use a holistic, integrated approach, combining conventional, functional, naturopathic medicine and health and life coaching with proven techniques as well as parenting & group coaching.
If you feel sad, stressed, anxious or depressed, no purpose, I can help. I work with clients to achieve inner peace, optimal health, true joy, & lasting success in their personal and professional lives. Most of them feel stressed out, anxious, sad, or can't get stuff done, are close to burnout, and are secretly (or openly) struggling with their own mental and physical health. Some also want to get off some medications and don't know how to do it without having awful withdrawal symptoms. Maybe they are also struggling with memory issues, weight issues, CPTSD, hormonal issues, and other issues affecting their brain and mental health.

No matter how difficult life is right now, you are more than you realize.
Do you do things you would rather not do or avoid things you should do? Are you frustrated because you put others ahead of you and avoid conflict at all costs, or are you angry and having trouble keeping it in check? Are you feeling alone or misunderstood? If any of the above apply to you, I can help. My process is to listen. And by coming to understand you, help you face the challenges that are preventing you from living life on your terms. Sometimes, it's even about helping you decide what those terms are.
