We will explore practical options for internal (personal) and external (work/systemic) barriers. My approach includes reflection, self-assessment, and evidence based frameworks to achieving your desired career-related outcome.

From there, we'll work on building a clear and realistic plan to help you move forward in your career journey with confidence and purpose.

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.

Feeling lost, stuck, or like you “should” have it all figured out by now? You’re not alone.

We’ll explore your values, strengths, and goals, and work together to create a path forward that feels aligned, not just practical. You deserve a career that fits you.

My approach to career counseling is not about personality tests or resume tips. It’s about helping clients navigate the deeper questions that arise when work feels disconnected from identity, purpose, or vitality. Often, career distress signals a deeper misalignment — between the life one has built and the person one is becoming. Together, we explore how attachment patterns, self-worth, relational dynamics, and existential concerns shape how you show up in your professional life. This is not about finding the perfect job — it’s about restoring right relationship with meaning, agency, and the kind of work that supports who you are becoming.

I support clients in navigating their questions and concerns around potential career paths—whether they’re students exploring future options, professionals considering a career change, or newcomers adjusting to a new job market. As a counselor, I guide individuals through a thoughtful process to identify careers that align with their values, strengths, and long-term goals. Using practical tools and tailored resources, I help clients gain clarity, build confidence, and make informed decisions. Together, we explore what feels meaningful and sustainable, so they can move forward with purpose in their career journey.

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.
