A career decision or transition is rarely simple. There is so much to weigh, and it is easy to feel stuck.

Our careers are important parts of our lives. People have often said that if you do something that you enjoy, you won’t work a day in your life. However, how do you find and decide on what you enjoy? How do you know what is the best fit for you? As a therapist, I support you in better understanding yourself, your life, and your choices to make career decisions that feel like they align with your most authentic self. I strive to make your opinions and choices clearer to you, while allowing you to take on various perspectives to come to the best decision. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling confident, empowered, and more knowledgeable on what may be a fit for you. Connect with me to

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.

I have been a guidance counsellor to youth for around 15 years. I can help you to explore your options though values work, finding your strengths and the things that you could strengthen more, and keep you grounded as you do so. With experience and knowledge regarding universities, colleges, apprenticeships, and working with other job hunting agencies for youth and adults (including those who have various disabilities), I believe that seeking counselling with me would be a good fit.
