Do you feel stuck or lost in your career? Want to weigh your options or get ahead/change jobs? Despite societal pressure to know exactly what you "should" do, many adults still struggle with this big life question. I want to help you better understand where you've come from and how you hope to experience your future. There’s no set path, no instructional manual or timeline telling you what to do next. That kind of freedom can be overwhelming or paralyzing. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. I'll help you feel clear about your purpose, what you want & ultimately be guided by your values, interests, abilities & life experience.
I hold a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and have 7 yrs experience guiding individuals with anxiety from all walks of life, through the practical and emotional parts of decision-making. As a therapist & Career Counsellor, my first-hand experience with major life transition complements my formal training in career psychology & nature therapy.
With a step-by-step process, I'll help you reduce stress and gain clarity. I want to hear your story to explore possibilities with evidence-based tools and a holistic approach. Whether it's virtual or partnering with nature outdoors, we'll consider assessment results, reality factors & the whole you to find the life you want and jump into inspired action.

As a Registered Counselling Therapist, I explore the intersection of mental health and career identity with clients. My approach is holistic where I conceptualize client struggles from a values-based, client-centred, and psychospiritual angle. I also help you manage anxiety through EFT "tapping" when preparing for an MRI, surgery, or other event/performance.

I use EFT tapping, ACT, IFS & Nature-Informed Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. With the backdrop of nature (or virtually), I'll help you learn relate to those thoughts differently and reduce stress.
