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.

Having been through a number of different careers in my life I have the first-hand experience of knowing what it feels like to go through such transitions. For so many years I couldn't find my passion which created a lot of drawbacks in my life. Today I don't see these as drawbacks but stepping stones to be where I am today. I can help you find your passion through your journey on the path you are creating. We are all writing our own story and this is only a chapter in your book. Consider the possibility of the next chapter to be life changing and your possibilities could be endless.

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.

Everyone has a niche, a kind of work where they can really shine.

Work can be an important source of inspiration and creativity. Unfortunately, many people who feel unfulfilled and trapped in their work environment, may need support to explore their career options and learn more about their personal motivates and areas of personal competene. A therapeutic environment can offer a safe and non-judgemental space to explore your options and help you make career decisions that are more consistent with your personal attributes and incliniations.

I help creative people build the life they want and see the life they already have. Building an intentional and creative life brings with it unique challenges. I know the creative process from the inside out and that makes a difference for my client's. Creative production and it’s uncertainty can be exhausting. The pressure of doubt, rejection, balancing risk and security, it can get overwhelming. My approach helps client's become aware of their thoughts, feelings and embodied self in a new way. The experiences we generate in this exploration allow for new possibilities in the way they relate to what’s holding them back.
