Embracing my training in the field of Psychology, Leadership and Business, I am able to bring together a multi-faceted approach to dealing with not only addiction, but to really help you make those difficult life decisions which often leaves you stuck.
Each person brings their own experiences and challenges into their personal and professional environments. Aligning yourself to form healthy productive relationships can be challenging at the best of times. How much more so, when there are barriers limiting you from achieving your full potential. Change is ongoing, getting a new job, dating, marriage, starting a family, moving to a new home/country, death, loss of a job, health status change. You must break through the denial and learn the tools that will improve your interactions with others. This takes courage & it’s difficult. Let let me help you improve your quality of life.

Please contact me for a free consultation to assess whether I can provide the guidance and insight you are looking for and help you reclaim your right to a joyful life.
People-pleaser, perfectionist, caretaker, rescuer, fixer… We all have defenses that help us move through life. There comes a time, however, when one or more of our defenses doesn’t work for us any longer. This is when therapy can help. Perhaps you are going through or considering a major life transition (relationship, career, lifestyle) but old defenses, beliefs and patterns are getting in the way. You want to trust your choices, but don’t know if you can. All you know is that it’s not possible to go forward the same way. Something needs to change.

As part of my mission, I am dedicated to helping women with breast cancer or any chronic illness navigate their challenging life journeys.
I am an artist with a mission to help people grow through their pain, guiding them to find meaning and purpose in their sufferings. I believe psychotherapy is an art in itself. Our lives are filled with light and shadow; to make life beautiful, we need creativity, bravery, knowledge, trust, and a safe space to explore and regulate our emotions. With my life experiences as a woman, immigrant, Middle Easterner, artist, mother, wife, and three-time cancer survivor, I can understand you without judgment. In many cases, I know exactly how you feel. If I don’t, we can talk, and I will learn from you.

Though you may be feeling frustrated or uncertain, you are the most knowledgeable person about your life, and most capable of actualising the best version of yourself.
The alliance between a client and therapist is the keystone of treatment success. The best alliance is marked by the relationship quality (feeling understood and validated), a shared perspective/goals, and agreement on the means for change. The decision of who to entrust with your therapeutic needs is your greatest consideration when embarking on this journey. It's my responsibility to tailor an approach best suited to you individually.

People who seek counseling are healthy people who are currently having a difficult life.
When life's challenges bring us uncertainty, fear, insecurity, and feeling out of control, it's not easy to make changes. In difficult situations, people often need a safe environment where their voices can be heard without judgment. Instead of solving the problem, they often spend their time and energy blaming themselves and others. They need constructive dialogue to address their concerns and solve their problems. They want to find positive solutions and take back control of their lives. Over the past 16 years, I have gained a lot of insight and expertise. supporting people is no longer a job for me, but my passion and mission.

Welcome. Working with a therapist provides the opportunity to explore the things that truly matter to you. Through uncovering the stumbling blocks and triggers that prevent you from being the best version of yourself, we will collaborate together to create self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance - while determining new avenues to accomplish tangible goals that align with your values. Giving consideration to the 'whole' you is an integral part of the therapeutic process – including those aspects that are painful and deeply imbedded, as well as your strengths, resources and aspirations.

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.
