If you want to make significant change and work towards living a life you love jump in and message me.
We will examine what is holding you back/ keeping you stuck. Talking to someone with no attachment to your life can be freeing and liberating. I believe the mind and body both need support and I work holistically to support you, strengthening your supports and gathering new skills. I believe in boundaries and self worth and work practically to increase both.

Together, we make sense of patterns, regulate the nervous system, and create practical, sustainable shifts so you can feel more in control of your life again.
You’re the one people rely on. You hold it together, push through, and get on with it — but underneath, something feels off. Maybe it’s anxiety that won’t switch off. Burnout that keeps creeping back. Or a quiet sense that you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way. I work with individuals who appear strong on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted internally.

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.
