Career Counselling and Coaching in Milton, Ontario.

According to one study, about 75% of the population feels stuck in a job that they find unsatisfying. It does not have to be that way! It is possible to pursue a vocation that maps on to your values, passion, natural abilities and environment. Whether you are new to Canada, just entering the work force, in transition, or functioning with a disability - a career counsellor can help you explore your options, discover your passion, and develop your skills to make good decisions about your future.

Are you feeling stuck and like you want to move forward or make a change in your career path, but aren't sure where to start? By exploring your values and your belief systems, together we can begin to map out a list of options that are likely to bring you joy and fulfillment in your life in the long term. By exploring these options in our sessions through thoughtful and reflective discussion, we can begin to create a shortlist and really hone in on what it is that will provide you with joy, pride, and fulfillment in your work. I will help you to identify your strengths and offer alternative perspectives to help you find your way to a happy and successful career path.

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.

Dr. Strauss offers career counseling through New Leaf Psychology Centre. In order to facilitate decision making, sessions will first assess your current skills, assets and interests. Your level of fulfillment at your current place of work, and obstacles to fulfillment will also be discussed. Potential career changes will be reviewed, with the goal of helping you come to a decision that you are comfortable with.

I am passioante about supporting individuals in exploring their experience of burnout from hustle culture and managing the invisible mental load. I also help folks unpack and explore the impact that systems of oppression (patriarchy and capitalism) have had on one's identity, lived experiences and internalised messages of not enough. Together lets work to dismantle these systems of oppression.

Career challenges can stir uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt—especially when your work no longer aligns with who you are.
