About…

Are you a helping professional and feel like you are losing yourself in your work? You love using your skills to help others, but lately you’ve noticed that you feel emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted more often than not. Perhaps you find yourself constantly thinking about work, being overly self-critical, or leaning on unhealthy behaviours in your personal time. Your work is meaningful to you, but you are realizing that it is currently taking more from you than it is giving. If this resonates, I can help you discover and shift the subconscious beliefs keeping you stuck in this pattern of self-sacrifice.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, with 14 years of experience as a Career Coach, and training as a trauma-informed Breathwork Facilitator, I have learned that our mental and emotional wellbeing is intimately connected to our career satisfaction and ability to thrive in both work and life. Specific challenges that I help with include:

  • Anxiety (feelings of overwhelm and insecurity that may arise throughout the day or during specific work tasks).
  • Stress (a buildup of physical, emotional, and mental tension without equivalent or adequate release).
  • Burnout (exhaustion, trouble sleeping, feeling irritable, or withdrawing from work and life are just some signs that you can’t keep working this way).
  • Compassion Fatigue (increased cynicism and resentment, trouble concentrating, headaches, working on autopilot and decreased empathy).
  • Relationship Struggles (with a specific co-worker, your supervisor/manager, or maybe the work environment itself).
  • Imposter Syndrome (inner critic telling you all the ways you are not good enough, competent enough, skilled enough to be doing what you are doing).
  • Perfectionism (procrastination on important tasks, all-or-nothing thinking, harsh self-criticism).
  • Work-Life Balance (lack of boundaries, hard to stop thinking about work, sacrificing other areas of life, feeling disconnected from personal relationships).
  • Identity (who am I without my work; who am I as my work changes?).
  • Career Transitions (chosen or not, transitions shake the ground beneath us, making us feel vulnerable and uncertain)
  • The Sunday Blues (that feeling of dread that takes over your Sunday as you try not to think about Monday morning).

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that our minds and bodies are connected. I have been where you are, which allows me to bring deep compassion and empathy into every session. I draw from integrative and evidence-based practices, such as:

  • Psychodynamic Therapy
  • Person-Centered Therapy
  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy
  • Guided Breathwork
