Career Counselling and Coaching in Don Mills, Ontario.

According to one study, about 75% of the population feels stuck in a job that they find unsatisfying. It does not have to be that way! It is possible to pursue a vocation that maps on to your values, passion, natural abilities and environment. Whether you are new to Canada, just entering the work force, in transition, or functioning with a disability - a career counsellor can help you explore your options, discover your passion, and develop your skills to make good decisions about your future.

Career counselling is a core focus of my work with my clients. I understand the challenges and nuances of working in a variety of environments across various industries, having spent my career consulting and coaching. My approach is grounded in listening, learning, building and transforming alongside you on your journey to discover, build and evolve your career. Wherever you are at, possibility, hope, empathy, and action are foundations to finding your future path. I bring 25+ years of experience working in corporate environments as a performance and executive-certified coach, with a focus on career and performance growth and development. Let’s work together to achieve your career goals.

Career challenges often bring stress, self-doubt, and confusion about direction or purpose. In my work, I offer a supportive space where clients can explore their strengths, values, and meaning in relation to work. Using a trauma-informed, Gestalt and somatic approach, we pay attention to practical goals and emotional experiences, including fears, blocks, and inner conflicts. I help clients clarify priorities, build confidence, and recognize patterns that may affect career decisions. Together, we develop realistic steps aligned with their authentic self. Through this process, clients often gain clarity, motivation, and a stronger sense of direction and professional fulfillment.

Feeling stuck, burnt out, or unsure about your next step? Career counselling isn’t just for job seekers—it’s for anyone navigating change, clarity, or confidence in their work life. Whether you’re questioning your current path, facing workplace stress, or wanting to align your career with your values, we help you explore your strengths, passions, and possibilities. At Rooted in Resilience, we offer culturally attuned support for racialized professionals and those navigating identity in the workplace. Together, we’ll uncover what fulfillment looks like for you—and build a roadmap to get there.

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.

We spend the majority of our adult lives working. Is this work fulfilling? Does it have meaning beyond simply being a way to make money and sustain our lifestyle? My work as a career counsellor goes again to the root of issues with work. There is a soul level to the work we choose, a vocational element to it ("vocation" meaning a calling from the work—where the work actually chooses you rather than you choosing the work.) Spend the remainder of your life doing something that brings sustenance to your soul as well as food on your table!

Being a trained Life Coach, I help clients identify their dreams, bent and natural gifts, so they can build careers which utilize their skill set. From there, I help them set SMART goals – i.e. Simple, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic & Time-focused – broken down into smaller goals, so they never get discouraged, plus they get to witness and celebrate their progress every step of the way. I believe in walking alongside the client in their journey to complete what they set out to do, tackling obstacles as they come – shyness, communication issues, confidence, etc. – so nothing will stop them!
