Career Counselling and Coaching in St Marys, Ontario.

We often question our career choices and work environment. Toxic people and disorganized work sites, downsizing and re organization can lead to anxiety, depression and burnout. I will help you reflect on your career choice and work environment to explore your strengths and where your professional life lies in the future. Reflecting on your strengths, education, professional aspirations and the job market we can re route your work life to rekindle your motivation. Understanding and learning about how to manage personalities in your work place will also enhance your work experience and open up new opportunities.

Even the thought of building a career can feel overwhelming and it can be difficult to know where to start. While I do not offer support regarding career counselling, at Psychotherapy Collective, our online clinic, we have therapists who are available to offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if they are the right fit for your journey.

Are you struggling to figure out what to do after high school? Do you feel sometimes that you don't even know what you like, and that it would be impossible to make a choice about a future career? Are you at a point in your adult life that you just want a career change because you aren't happy where you are? Have you outgrown your career and feel stuck? Or are you just such a different person now that its hard to understand what got you there in the first place? Maybe you want someone to help you decide if going back to school is the right decision at this stage in your life. Or maybe you just want someone to ask you the right question to find your own solution. Let us help you.

Ideally your job, career or occupation is a source of energy, meaning and perspective on life and money. It aids your journey through the shifting realities we now have on the planet. When you are not in that happy situation - having a job that does Not feel (or is indeed Not) benefitting you, everything else is bound to be ‘off kilter’! My experience over forty years of being a therapist is that the technical aspects of a career/job/position may be resolved by going through the typical mechanics of job searching. But what you will gain from speaking to me in person is a fresh perspective. In short, do you and your possible career ‘line up’ and how can we work together to get you there?

Through my Master’s degree I completed a double major in career and personal counseling. This unique training has helped me understand the impacts of personal well-being on career development and work performance and productivity. It also helped me understand how career development and/or employment satisfaction impacts on an individual’s well-being and on how they behave and interact with others. Through counseling, I can help you identify appropriate occupations to pursue and/or address issues that are negatively affecting your work performance, attendance and productivity. Through counselling, you will feel and function better in your professional and personal life.

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 decision or transition is rarely simple. There is so much to weigh, and it is easy to feel stuck. I can help you explore your personality, strengths, and the areas you find harder, all of which matter when you are planning a move. I have been helping people make career decisions since 1986, so I bring a great many resources to the table. I would be glad to work through it with you. I am based in Calgary and see clients across Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick by secure video.

In career counselling, I support clients in exploring direction, purpose, and alignment between their values and professional life. This process often includes identifying strengths, interests, and barriers that may be influencing decision-making. Clients are encouraged to reflect on what feels meaningful and sustainable rather than purely external expectations. Many experience increased clarity, confidence in decision-making, and a stronger sense of direction, allowing them to make career choices that feel more intentional and fulfilling.

Career challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating uncertainty, burnout, or questions about direction and purpose. In career counseling, I provide a supportive space to explore your values, strengths, and goals while identifying patterns that may be holding you back. Using a thoughtful, structured approach combined with mindfulness and practical strategies, we work to clarify your path, improve decision-making, and build confidence in your choices. Clients often gain greater clarity, renewed motivation, and a stronger sense of alignment between their work and overall well-being.
