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.

Through our sessions, clients gain clarity on their strengths, values, and aspirations, enabling them to make informed decisions about their professional lives. We explore potential barriers such as self-doubt or fear of change, and develop strategies to overcome them. By fostering self-awareness and confidence, therapy empowers clients to set achievable goals and navigate career transitions with resilience. Whether it's exploring new opportunities, advancing in their current role, or seeking a more satisfying work-life balance, therapy provides invaluable support in achieving career success and personal fulfillment.

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!

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.

Career change can be a very important and stressful time in anyone's life. Figuring out what you want to do for your livelihood, if you are lucky, is a choice relating to purpose and fulfillment. For many people, it is a simpler aspect of the necessity of earning a living, but the stresses related to it regardless of whether we live to work or work to live, can be the cause of anxiety and depression. The relationships we have in our workplace can also have a great impact on our mood and behaviour. The challenges in workplace relationships can have their origins in other relationships and require exploration. Having changed careers myself, I understand the inherent challenges it brings.
