Career Counselling and Coaching in Maple, Ontario.

My approach to career counselling aims to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their careers, maximize their potential, and achieve personal and professional success and satisfaction. It involves exploring and evaluating factors such as interests, skills, values, personality traits, and life circumstances to help clients align their career goals with their personal and professional aspirations. It is a collaborative and client-centered process that considers the individual's unique circumstances, preferences, and goals for their future.

My approach to helping clients in the area of work and career often relates to interpersonal problems in employment settings, difficulties managing work-life balance, and questions surrounding changing careers. Often clients come in with concerns around how to make changes to their employment situation, and they have various anxieties surrounding the risk that comes with making these life changes. In treatment, I help clients address their anxieties and fears, and we work together to seek solutions.

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.

Are you feeling lost or dissatisfied in your career path? Perhaps everything seems fine, but just isn't quite enough. Maybe what you were once passionate about has now become life-draining. Having previously worked as a lawyer and held many different jobs, I've been there, and I know the courage it takes to make a change. I work with you to uncover your true potential, and help you chart an achievable course to realize your goals. Together, we unpack where you want to be, and get real about who/what is holding you back. Don't settle for a job that leaves you uninspired. Your dreams await you.

Burnout can leave you feeling depleted, unmotivated, and questioning everything-from your career path to your sense of self. In our work together, we’ll make space to unpack the stress, overwhelm, and pressure you’ve been carrying, and explore what truly matters to you. Clients often say they feel more clear-headed, validated, and empowered to make intentional choices - whether that means setting better boundaries, redefining success, or navigating a career shift. You don’t have to stay stuck; therapy can help you reconnect with purpose and find a way forward that actually works for you.
