The constant tug-of-war is exhausting
For a long time, you’ve probably felt like there are two different people living inside of you. One part is desperate to change, to be healthy, and to move forward. But another part seems determined to keep things exactly as they are, even when it hurts.
You’ve tried willpower. You’ve tried 'getting tough' with yourself. But the more you fight these parts of you, the louder and more persistent they become.
I know that fight because I’ve lived it. I know the shame that comes when you feel like you can’t even trust your own mind. But what I’ve learned, and what I want to show you, is that these 'conflicting' parts aren't your enemies. They are actually trying to protect you. They just need a leader they can trust.
Finding the Missing Piece
For years, I thought my internal conflict was a character flaw. Then, I discovered Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I realized that those 'stubborn' parts of me weren't trying to sabotage my life, they were actually trying to protect me from pain in the only way they knew how. They didn't need to be exiled or crushed; they needed to be understood and led by my Self.
This shift changed everything. It moved me from a state of constant internal war to a life of clarity, compassion, and calm. Now, as an ICF-ACC certified coach, I use this same model to help others find that same internal peace.
Equipped to Guide You Forward
ACC-ICF Certified Coach
As an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation, I have met rigorous global standards for training and ethical practice. This means you aren’t just getting a mentor; you are partnering with a professional who is deeply committed to your growth through proven, high-standard coaching competencies.
IFSCA Trained
I have completed comprehensive training through the Internal Family Systems Counselling Association (IFSCA). This training provides the core framework for my work, allowing me to guide you through the process of befriending your internal 'parts', shifting from a state of inner conflict toward compassionate Self-leadership.
Addiction Recovery Focused
My coaching practice is dedicated to helping individuals break the cycle of addiction by addressing the internal 'tug-of-war' that drives it. By applying the IFS model to recovery, I help you understand and unburden the parts of your system that feel stuck, creating a path toward lasting peace and sustainable change.
Living a Self-led Life
I don’t just share the principles of Self-leadership, I live them. Whether I’m navigating the trails around Chilliwack with my dog or working through my own internal 'tug-of-war,' I am constantly practicing the same internal clarity and compassion that I invite you to discover.
For me, nature is a reminder that a balanced life isn't about being 'perfect', it’s about being present. I’m committed to doing my own work so that I can hold a clear, calm space for you to do yours. Together, we move from conflict to a more grounded, Self-led way of being.
