Career Counselling and Coaching in Cobourg, Ontario.

Everyone has gifts they were born with. Through various therapeutic modalities including expressive art therapy and mindfulness, I help guide individuals through an inward self exploration of these gifts. I will also help you to clarify and work towards your "best life," that is visioning your ideal work-life, relationship-life, family-life and social-life.

Clients benefit from career counselling with me because I offer a blend of emotional support and practical guidance that helps them navigate career decisions with clarity and confidence. By combining meaningful self-reflection with actionable tools such as goal-setting, job-search planning, and workplace communication skills, I provide comprehensive career counselling that addresses both the emotional and practical sides of career development.

You are the only one that knows which career choice will be right for you. However, sometimes it can be hard to tune into your own intuition, especially within the mix of what you want, what you need and what others think. My role in therapy is to help you untangle all these knots and empower you to make a decision that you feel is your own. This may involve collaborating to understand what your intrinsic values are, how you define success and what needs are important for you to fulfill. Call today so we can find a path you can call your own!

A lot of life satisfaction correlates to job satisfaction, so staying in a job you hate can create a lot of angst, stress and frustration. In todays job market there are many challenges people face: actually getting an interview, putting a resume together, networking, and performing well in the interview when you do get one. Before you do any of that, you need to figure out what you actually want to do, what you like, what you are good at, and what is a good fit for you. We can assess your strengths and weaknesses for you and help you find a good fit in a new job or career.

A career is more than just a way to pay the bills. Every person spends most of their life in their careers and the career satisfaction/non-satisfaction spills over to the person’s personal life, too. However, there are many variables that can lead to career dissatisfaction. It can be the environment, interpersonal relationships, the skills and talents required for the job, and ultimately the person’s view of the job. A successful career counselling helps the client to take a closer look at these variables and to tackle the issues that lead to an unhealthy career life. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

With over 13 years of experience in post-secondary education and a certificate in Career and Academic Advising, I bring both expertise and empathy to career conversations. Whether you’re questioning your current path, exploring new possibilities, or seeking greater meaning at work, I help you uncover your strengths, values, and purpose. Our sessions provide space to clarify direction, navigate change, and build confidence in your choices.

I can provide strategies for you to find new or different employment successfully. I'm not only a registered psychotherapist but I'm also a success coach. I have a PhD in leadership and policy and a background in business. I've had many jobs and careers from modelling, personal training, to a Bell operator and a Purolator driver. I've been in retail sales, and sold photocopies, PR, and software. I've been a teacher of primary/junior students, and professor in sales, and a professor in graduate education. I have owned a restaurant, and a tutoring company. I am sure I have missed something! I'm reinventing myself once again looking to be an author! Let me help you find your way!

There can be a lot of pressure to figure out one’s career or to decide where one fits within a particular field. Oftentimes this is a winding road rather than a straight route. Within therapy, I will support you in identifying and exploring the values, goals, interests, and passions most important to you so that you can make decisions about your career that feel right to you. I will also work with you to process possible obstacles along the way such as (and certainly not limited to) challenging work dynamics, stress and burnout, and difficulties finding a work/life balance. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.
