This is a confidential space to understand yourself more deeply and build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
For many of us who strive, there’s a private struggle behind the public success. It's the relentless need to 'get it right,' the feeling of being an outsider even on your own team, and the quiet fear that you're losing the very passion that got you started. My clients are athletes and high-achievers who recognize this feeling. They are looking for a way back to a performance that feels powerful, free, and most importantly, feels like them.

I combine therapy and coaching because you need both.
You're a senior leader, a high performer, on paper successful but something's off. You're second-guessing decisions you used to make easily. You feel like an imposter in rooms where you clearly belong. Your role changed and suddenly you don't know what defines you anymore. Or you're at a career crossroads and can't figure out which direction to take or why any of it matters. You are missing clarity and want to understand why smart choices feel so hard. You want to know what patterns keep showing up and what you're actually afraid of. You want to see yourself clearly so you can move forward with confidence.

Nosce Te Ipsum. Therapy begins with a dialogue about what indeed brought the client into the therapeutic setting. Clients’ thoughts, feelings and experiences provide much of the fodder for a therapeutic dialogue. Much of the work in therapy involves making sense of these thoughts and emotions. The therapist educes the client’s stories; clients narrate and share them. This integrative framework provide the lens in which I listen and connect to the narratives and presenting issues of my clients. As the tempo takes its momentum, a gradual progression of humanistic kinship, trust and understanding between my client and I are entrenched.

Welcome to my site. Firstly, let me assure me that I know how much courage it took to conduct the search that brought you here … and indeed how much more it can take to make the call. As a first step it is helpful if you acknowledge that to yourself. In the years that I have been a therapist I have yet to meet a client, who committed to therapy, that didn’t get some relief, some hope that their future could be different from their past which washed them up onto the lonely beach they found themselves on. I promise you that I know your pain, your loneliness, and your anxiety. You have made it this far ... make the call …

Reading this shows that you are being proactive about taking care of yourself. While the motivation to seek support can often come from a place of discomfort or distress, therapy can help people move from crisis to personal growth. I offer compassionate expertise, psycho-education, support, reassurance, validation and guidance as healing resources for those that choose to work with me. You do not have to have anything "figured out" before contacting me; I know that starting therapy can feel like asking for something that is hard to ask for but important to get.

Welcome, Are you currently struggling with feelings of anxiety, low mood, life dissatisfaction or daily stress?
I understand how early adverse experiences in childhood or at any stage of one's life can impact the way we view the world around us. It's important to provide you a space for identifying unhelpful thoughts and core beliefs about yourself, others, and the world which are often buried deeply but can be triggered in everyday life.

Life may mean difficult or traumatic experiences, past or present, that can leave you feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, worried, overwhelmed, hopeless or unable to cope.
The personal growth that can then take place can free you from the limitations of old patterns. This can allow more realistic and effective ways of improving the quality, contentment and satisfaction of your life.

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.
