About my approach

You've done everything "right"—built a career, advanced through the ranks, provided for your family. But somewhere along the way, work stopped being sustainable. Maybe it's burnout that won't lift no matter how much you rest. Maybe it's a challenging workplace that's eroding your sense of self. Maybe you're questioning whether this is really what you want to be doing for the next 20 years.

Perhaps you are at a crossroads.

I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) who understands workplace challenges, burnout, and career transitions—not just from clinical training, but from lived experience.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in labour relations on the union side. I sat with workers navigating discrimination, terminations, and challenging environments. I saw firsthand how work can affect every aspect of life—your confidence, your relationships, your sense of who you are.

Specializations

 

Experiencing Burnout

You're exhausted in a way that vacation doesn't fix. You've tried "self-care," but the problem isn't you—it's the demands, the culture, the relentless pace. You're starting to question whether you can keep doing this.

I can help you:

  • Develop strategies for recovery and sustainability

  • Navigate this in-between space

  • Rebuild your relationship with work

Workplace Challenges

You've experienced something that's left you questioning everything.

I can help you:

  • Process what happened without minimizing the systemic issues

  • Work through anger, grief, and the identity impact

  • Navigate re-entering the workplace or pivoting careers

  • Rebuild confidence and clarity about next steps

Mid-Career Transitions

You're considering a major career change but are feeling uncertain, or you've recently made a change and are struggling with the identity shift. The "golden handcuffs" feel real, but so does the need for something different.

I can help you:

  • Explore identity beyond job titles and achievement

  • Clarify your values and what you're moving toward

  • Navigate the practical and emotional complexity of transitions

Fees

I offer virtual sessions via a secure video platform. This provides flexibility, privacy, and the ability to work together regardless of where you're located in Ontario.

I provide receipts for extended health benefit plans that cover psychotherapy. Limited sliding scale spots available for clients between jobs or on leave.
