If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your direction—if challenges are affecting your ability to function in your day-to-day life and are impacting your education, vocation, or career goals—you have come to the right place.

How you navigate education, vocation, and career transitions, are all impacted by your internal and external environment. Your biology, psychological, social and spiritual life can impact the way you show up in the world and the direction you take.  

 In our work together, we will:

  • Examine the interaction of those factors and help you make sense of your experiences
  • Reconnect you with your strengths and values to help move you forward
  • Support you in restoring healthy functioning so you can work toward meaningful and fulfilling engagement in your life and in a vocation and career that aligns with who you are.

Who I Help
I work with adults 18+ who are navigating identity-related challenges and challenges in their day-to-day functioning related to education, vocation, and career transitions. My goal is to help you regain stability, build confidence, and move forward in your transition to support your overall life functioning.

Through counselling, I support people experiencing:

  • Overwhelm and burnout connected with educational, vocational, and career changes
  • Workplace or academic stress and anxiety related to ambivalence or uncertainty about moving forward
  • Identity disruption and values conflict associated with shifts in work or career direction
  • Vocational and career uncertainty following experiences of ethical or moral distress
  • Fear, apprehension, or uncertainty about exploring new roles, including adjusting to retirement or leaving the workforce
  • Anxiety, stress, grief, or depression related to occupational disruption, such as job loss, that may impact self-esteem, confidence, and the ability to move forward

    My Approach
    As a Registered Social Worker, I work from a biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective, recognizing that even small changes in one area of life can create meaningful ripple effects across overall functioning and well-being. My approach is client-centered, holistic, and strengths-based, supporting growth and resilience in the context of daily life, work, and career transitions.

    Techniques used in social work include:

    • Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy to identify small, achievable changes that improve functioning and coping

    • Motivational Interviewing to explore intrinsic motivation for adaptive coping and engagement in daily life

    • Strengths and values exploration to reconnect clients with personal resources, priorities, and adaptive coping

    • Appreciative Inquiry to identify past successes and adaptive strategies, supporting resilience and well-being

    • Positive Psychology practices to strengthen resilience, optimism, and emotional well-being in navigating life transitions

    • Integration of trauma- and violence-informed principles to ensure a safe, respectful space while supporting life functioning and coping

    Social work sessions are client-centered, holistic, and focused on psychosocial and spiritual well-being, supporting coping, stress management, identity, and life functioning in the areas of education, vocation and career. Sessions are regulated under the RSW license and address challenges in education, vocation, and career from a well-being and functioning perspective, not goal-only planning.

    Assessment & Exploration
    When clinically appropriate, I may integrate psychometric inventories as part of counselling and psychosocial support. Tools may include:

    • Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

    • Strong Interest Inventory

    • Other professional, evidence-based assessments

    These tools support self-reflection, insight, and exploration within the counselling process and are intended for informational and developmental purposes only.

    Any additional costs for assessment tools will be clearly communicated and must be approved by the client prior to use. If cost is a barrier, alternative options may be discussed and offered when appropriate.

    In social work, these tools may be used alongside biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment to explore coping, barriers, and psychosocial factors affecting education, vocation, and career functioning.
