Feeling discouraged or dissatisfied with work can be stressful and confusing. It can be difficult to know what steps to take to find fulfillment and satisfaction. Talking with a trained professional can help you sort out your feelings, wants, needs, and options. In the safety of a therapy relationship, you can process through what might have felt overwhelming before and find empowerment, motivation, and hope.

Addiction Counsellor

I help clients with addictive behaviours or substance use that is interfering with their ability to achieve a fulfilling career. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain a sense of purpose and direction, overcoming barriers to making meaningful progress in their professional life. Gaining a sense of control over one's life allows for increased confidence and self-esteem. I help clients build the motivation necessary to take steps toward a future filled with passion, thriving, and mental resilliance.

Who benefits from career counselling? You might be a student looking for direction or a person considering a career change. You may also be looking to delve deep and assess your talents, skills, interests, personality or learning style. Learning more about who you are and how you want to spend the next decades of your life are all considerations in career counselling. Assessment tools can be very helpful in making informed career choices and developing a personalized career path but are best utilized along with an experienced counsellor. Psychotherapeutic tools such as EFT and Mindfulness Based approaches can provide depths of understanding one's self.

One aspect of therapy that many people may not be aware of is called "Solution Focused Therapy." This is the intersection of therapy and coaching. So, if you are looking to make a change in your life, improve your financial outlook, and grow in your career, you are in the right place! I have extensive experience working with young adults entering their career field for the first time, supporting small business owners navigate complexities, as well as supporting mid-career professionals with making change. Meeting your career aspirations requires a positive mood, motivation, energy, and confidence. These are all tools that are learned in therapy. I motivate, and I can help you.

Finding your 'career path' can happen at any age. At twenty or fifty. Talking with a therapist who can help you discover what you love....what you're good at...your skills...experience, etc. can be encouraging to enable you to follow your desire in what can often give you a lifetime of reward. You will have an opportunity to look at "all of the parts" of yourself. No simply your academics or skills, but to dig deeper and find your passion for your life work.
