Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming — especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. Maybe you’ve been blaming yourself, feeling disconnected from others, or being hard on yourself, all while trying to keep it together.
If any of that sounds familiar, I want you to know: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.
Therapy, as I see it, is a space where you can slow down and be real — with your struggles and the parts of you that are tired, hopeful, angry, questioning, or unsure. My role isn’t to fix you, but to walk alongside you, make sense of things, and support your healing process.

You might be feeling emotionally overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or changes in your life that feel hard to manage. Maybe you notice yourself getting stuck in the same patterns, feeling disconnected from others, or doubting your worth. It can be exhausting trying to make sense of it all on your own.

You don’t have to keep holding everything together on your own. Many people come in feeling anxious, burned out, or disconnected from themselves, their relationships or their sense of direction. With me, therapy is a steady place to slow down, untangle what feels overwhelming, and understand why you feel the way you do. My style is warm and direct. We’ll map the patterns that keep you stuck and build practical strategies you can use right away. We’ll also support your body and mind through steadier sleep, healthier routines, clear boundaries, and small daily choices that lower stress. The goal: a calmer life that feels yours.

Are you lying awake at night, replaying moments you wish you could forget, or wondering why certain memories still hold so much power? Maybe you’ve worked hard to stay strong for your family or colleagues, but inside you feel exhausted, tense, or on edge. The past can show up in ways we don’t expect, in our bodies, our moods, and our relationships. Sometimes something specific shakes us, other times, things have felt “off” for so long we can’t quite name what’s wrong. Therapy can help bring insight, clarity, and over time, a greater sense of ease and choice in how you move through the world.

How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.
Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
