As a husband, father, friend, and later-in- life diagnosed ADHD (inattentive type), I know the struggles we can all face in life.
My extensive experience as a therapist ensures a strong clinical foundation for coaching. HOWEVER(!), practical goals/strategies is the priority. We work within the structure of cognitive-behavioural. solution-focused, educational and coaching models. I ask clients to commit to short term, 6-10 sessions (2-3 months) of work to see real change occur.

My virtual room is a safe space to process your feelings and to explore your identities and values to support you in the living the life you want.
Being a human is hard! You often feel anxious, confused, or frustrated. You might struggle with your body image, food, self-worth, perfectionism, or “shoulding” yourself. Anxiety and depression feel overwhelming. You want things to be different, but you’re unsure how to start. What does feeling your feelings even mean, anyway?! I am passionate about providing a space for queer, fat, and/or neurodivergent humans to unpack the impact of oppression, develop strategies for improved executive functioning and emotional regulation, and discuss practical ways to navigate how hard it is to live in a world that wasn’t made for you.

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.
