I believe that everyone is always doing the best they can to live a happy and fulfilling
life
, and sometimes we just get stuck. If you find that your good habits have gone out the window, you are more stressed than usual, or that you are lacking in motivation, focus, or energy, you are not alone. Compassionate support can help you to move through a period of difficulty and offer tools to help you achieve your goals, and be the person you want to be. As an Occupational Therapist, I am interested in helping you to find ways to participate in the activities of
life
that are most meaningful to you.

I am probably not your typical therapist and there is very little I haven’t seen or heard in my personal
life
and practice.

Do you feel anxious and alone these days? Does it feel like no one is listening to you? Perhaps you've always been a little nervous, but were able to cope without any trouble. Now things have changed it's not easy to do your job or live without wondering what others will think. You want to do more living and spend less time being in your own head, and you've discovered this isn't easy to talk about. You don't want to burden your friends, and would they understand anyway? Still, this is impacting your
life
, your health and your relationship. Right now you probably don't talk about this with anybody. I can help.

Life
has many challenges which leave some of us feeling overwhelmed. This can provoke anxiety and we may not know where to look for answers. Deciding to let someone into your innermost self takes courage. You need someone who is empathetic, caring, trustworthy, and non-judgemental; someone who will walk beside you, helping you re-discover your strengths and self-worth. And then change will slowly but surely begin. I believe humans are resilient. I believe everyone has the capability to change and should not suffer alone. If you are in difficulty, let us explore together how to transform your emotional turmoil into self-efficacy.

life
journey by finding a therapist here! Each of us has a unique journey in
life
where we encounter difficult situations and challenges. How we tackle and view these situations and challenges is influenced by our past experiences. While we cannot physically go back to change our past, we can begin writing and rewriting a new chapter of this story. Change has never been easy, and I am pleased to be your self-discovery ally to understand, empower and guide you toward your inner self and new possibilities.

When individuals experience
life
stressors or challenges, it can be very exhausting and their lives may seem to unravel. An important first step in the journey of recovery and self-discovery is talking about it with someone. As a Registered Psychotherapist with CRPO, I provide ethical, compassionate, and culturally sensitive care to the youth and adult population through a client-led practice, including accommodation of, and respect for differences in opinions, values, and attitudes across various cultures in a cooperative, anti-oppressive practice.

You are a middle-aged adult with a family and a full-time job. Things seem to be ok on the surface, but deep down you have an exhausting feeling of disconnect from
life
(loss of interest in any activities, feeling emotionally numb, losing sense of direction in
life
). Anxiety and stress is taking you away from enjoying your
life
. You have a very low sense of self-worth and always highly negative towards yourself. You are very sensitive to criticism, can become triggered easily, often snap at kids and loved ones. You wish to change the way you feel about yourself and others, get a sense of connection and zest for
life
.

It is my belief that we are meant to be happy and accomplished, and that we are perfect within. This may be hard for you to relate to now, so the therapeutic process starts from areas that are not working well for you today. Then, I help you bring awareness to your usual patterns of coping, help you release what is no longer useful, and guide you to discover within you better ways to deal with
life
's challenges. My style is open, welcoming and compassionate, creating a safe setting to explore the issues that are concerning you.

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.
