Career questions can arise during periods of transition, burnout, or when work begins to feel disconnected from personal meaning and purpose. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in both the corporate & not-for-profit sectors, and was a peer mentor supporting colleagues through professional challenges & development. This informed my approach to career counseling today. Drawing on ACT and narrative therapy, I help clients step back from immediate pressures to reflect on their strengths, values, and the broader story of their working lives. Clients benefit from increased clarity about career choices while developing practical strategies for navigating the workplace.

In our modern world, we spend a large part of our lives invested in some form of vocational pursuit. As such, I know how important it is for clients to find the right career choices to build a life upon. I help clients explore their natural talents, trained skills, and personality preferences in order to increase their awareness of their professional goals, while balancing intellectual, financial, and emotional needs so clients feel empowered and aligned in their pursuits.

Your career can be fulfilling - you need to decide to make it so. We will uncover what your career goals are, whether that is in your current work life or something different. We will consider many aspects including your inner desires, your short and long term goals, and we will assess your strengths and interests. From there, we you will work on exercises and specific action plans to uncover if your interests are truly that. Step-by-step we will work toward uncovering a more fulfilling career.

My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a person-centered focus, helping you build confidence, make informed decisions, and create a career path that aligns with your purpose and well-being.

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!

Creative and reflective processes can help clarify values, identity, strengths, and direction, particularly during periods of change or burnout.
