Helping You Navigate This LIFE Thing – One Brave Step at a Time

Whether you're a teen trying to figure things out, or someone healing from narcissistic abuse, this is a space to feel seen, supported, and equipped to move forward.

Life is complex. Coaching doesn’t have to be.

MY APPROACH

At This LIFE Thing, you’ll find real talk, honest support, and practical tools for navigating life’s messier moments. I bring together experience in life coaching, counselling, and youth work to help people move forward with confidence – no matter where they’re starting from. 

OFFERINGS

I work with anyone seeking support in navigating life’s challenges, with a special focus on:

Healing from Narcissistic Abuse

Youth & Young Adult Coaching

HEALING FROM NARCISSISTIC ABUSE

For survivors ready to reconnect with their power, peace, and self-worth.

 When you’ve been in a relationship with a narcissist — romantic, family, workplace or otherwise — it can leave deep, invisible scars. 

You may have:
- Lost trust in yourself
- Felt like you're constantly walking on eggshells
- Been made to feel like you're too sensitive, too needy, or never enough
- Tried to explain your pain and felt dismissed or misunderstood

You might even be wondering: Was it really that bad?

Here’s the truth — if it hurt, it matters. If it broke your spirit, it needs healing. 

This space is for you if: 
- You’re recovering from gaslighting, manipulation, or emotional abuse
- You’ve left a toxic relationship but feel stuck, confused or overwhelmed
- You’ve lost your sense of identity, confidence or direction
- You’re co-parenting with or still connected to a narcissist
- You want to rebuild your life on your terms, with clarity and strength

This isn’t therapy. It’s forward-focused, trauma-informed life coaching that helps you rebuild what was torn down — piece by piece. 

What You Can Expect: 
- A safe, judgement-free space to unpack your experience
- Coaching that validates what you went through — and who you are now
- Tools to rebuild your confidence, voice and boundaries
- Step-by-step support to move from survival mode to thriving
- Optional sessions focused on co-parenting or dealing with narcissists at work/family

You don’t have to keep replaying the pain, or wondering if you’re crazy.
You’re not. You were manipulated — and you’re allowed to heal.

YOUTH & YOUNG ADULT COACHING

Support for teens and twenty-somethings figuring out life, identity, and everything in between. 

Growing up has never been more overwhelming. Between school pressure, social media, family expectations and a world that rarely slows down, many young people feel like they’re drowning quietly behind a brave face. 

If you're a teen or young adult, you might feel:
- Like everyone else has it figured out but you
- Pressured to choose a career path before you know who you are
- Struggling with friendships, family or anxiety
- Like you're “too much” or “not enough” at the same time
- Unsure how to speak up, set boundaries, or even ask for help

This Life Thing isn’t about fixing you — because you’re not broken.

It’s about supporting you to figure things out at your own pace, with someone in your corner. 

Common Topics I Coach Young People On: 
- Identity, purpose and direction
- Building confidence and self-awareness
- School stress, burnout and time management
- Social pressure, anxiety, and comparison
- Boundaries and communication in relationships
- Life transitions: school → varsity, varsity → work
- Dealing with family conflict or feeling misunderstood

What Sessions Look Like: 
- One-on-one coaching in a calm, respectful space (online or in person)
- Tailored sessions built around your goals, emotions and experiences
- Practical tools to manage stress, make decisions, and grow confidence
- A coach who listens — without judgement or lectures

I’ve worked with young people from many walks of life. Whether you’re high-achieving and burnt out, or quietly unsure where you belong — you are welcome here.

Growing up is hard.
You don’t have to do it alone.
