Career Counselling and Coaching in Kingston, Ontario.

Are you looking for support as you journey through your career? Do you give so much to others that there is little left for yourself? Has the pandemic left you feeling burned out and exhausted, or has your career impacted 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? We 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 affecting your career.

I help clients with addictive behaviours or substance use that is interfering with their ability to achieve a fulfilling career. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain a sense of purpose and direction, overcoming barriers to making meaningful progress in their professional life. Gaining a sense of control over one's life allows for increased confidence and self-esteem. I help clients build the motivation necessary to take steps toward a future filled with passion, thriving, and mental resilliance.

I can provide strategies for you to find new or different employment successfully. I'm not only a registered psychotherapist but I'm also a success coach. I have a PhD in leadership and policy and a background in business. I've had many jobs and careers from modelling, personal training, to a Bell operator and a Purolator driver. I've been in retail sales, and sold photocopies, PR, and software. I've been a teacher of primary/junior students, and professor in sales, and a professor in graduate education. I have owned a restaurant, and a tutoring company. I am sure I have missed something! I'm reinventing myself once again looking to be an author! Let me help you find your way!

Entering the world of work or higher education, changing careers, or being uncertain of the direction you want to take in the world of work are things that can be addressed with counselling. I take a narrative therapy approach to supporting people on this issue, and clients can expect to gain insight into their education and employment goals, how their personal values and intentions fit or don't fit with their current employment/educational path, and to gain clarity on next steps.

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
