Career Counselling and Coaching in Vaughan, Ontario.

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!

Are you feeling stuck in a job you hate and unsure of what else to do next? Are you feeling unmotivated and unhappy? Is the job search process daunting and leaving you stuck and overwhelmed? Do you feel like you’ve hit a ceiling? Are you seeking bigger things in your career but at a loss of what to do about it? If you have answered yes to any (or all) of these questions, Career Counselling and Coaching may be a perfect fit to help you out of your unhappy job and career situation. I will support you to: Identify your passion and purpose with more clarity Assess your strengths and interests Craft a plan for next steps Implement the plan Connect with business professionals

Are you an executive, front-line worker, therapist, medical professional, or academic looking for support as you journey through your career? Do you give so much to others, there is little left for yourself? Has the pandemic left you feeling burned out, exhausted, or like your career is impacting all aspects of your life and relationships? Are you too exhausted when you return home from work to do the hobbies or activities you once did? I will work with you to clarify your professional goals, identify obstacles to finding joy in your work and life, and explore any problematic emotions/behaviours that may be affecting your career.

Who benefits from career counselling? You might be a student looking for direction or a person considering a career change. You may also be looking to delve deep and assess your talents, skills, interests, personality or learning style. Learning more about who you are and how you want to spend the next decades of your life are all considerations in career counselling. Assessment tools can be very helpful in making informed career choices and developing a personalized career path but are best utilized along with an experienced counsellor. Psychotherapeutic tools such as EFT and Mindfulness Based approaches can provide depths of understanding one's self.

Starting my second career in life, I had the benefit of a career counselor who guided me to not just a job but a vocation that I now love and enjoy. Through a psychotherapy coaching blend I can understand my clients and their particular desires in life and their limiting beliefs. I help clients with choosing post secondary and graduate level educational paths, job counseling, second career counseling, finding a career with greater personal satisfaction and retirement planning.

Career Counselling is a process that may involve several sessions designed to accomplish the following: 1. Improved Self-awareness – by exploring your interests, values, skills and strengths, and personality, as they relate to career possibly through the use of targeted assessments. 2. Career research – is designed to help narrow down options. I will provide you with useful resources and have you complete information interviews with individuals doing the work. 3. Decision making and planning – Finalizing a decision and building out a transition plan (if required). We can also discuss fine tuning resume/cover letter, job search strategy, and interview coaching. Please let me know if you require further information.

In our career exploration, we may use techniques such as free association, dream analysis, and transference to help you uncover underlying motivations, fears, and desires related to your career. By examining patterns of behaviour, recurring themes, and emotional reactions in the counselling sessions, you can gain insight into why you are drawn to specific professions, struggle with certain job-related challenges, or feel unfulfilled in your current work.

Career decisions can be challenging. Whether you're starting a new career, facing a career transition, feeling stuck, or seeking to enhance your current path, I am here to help.

Are you feeling stuck and like you want to move forward or make a change in your career path, but aren't sure where to start? By exploring your values and your belief systems, together we can begin to map out a list of options that are likely to bring you joy and fulfillment in your life in the long term. By exploring these options in our sessions through thoughtful and reflective discussion, we can begin to create a shortlist and really hone in on what it is that will provide you with joy, pride, and fulfillment in your work. I will help you to identify your strengths and offer alternative perspectives to help you find your way to a happy and successful career path.

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

So many people are locked into jobs that leach motivation out of them rather than empowering continued growth and capitalizing on a healthy level of engagement. In my work with careers, I often ask tough questions and expect serious consideration of all the alternatives available to you. We'll work to establish outcomes and put our heads together to map out a plan for you that will make the most of your transferable skills and career objectives. In a sense, my approach is a career focused form of life coaching that aims to keep you moving forward while you work to recognize what you really want for yourself and exactly how you are going to make that happen in the real world.
