Therapy and
Career Counselling
for Professionals in Vancouver and Across British Columbia
Work pressure rarely affects only one area of life.
Chronic pressure changes how people think, feel, and function.
Burnout, anxiety, and uncertainty about work often develop together, not in isolation.
Why Work and Mental Health Belong Together
Most adults do not experience work and life as separate. The same systems regulate both: attention, emotional capacity, stress tolerance, decision-making, and recovery. When pressure increases at work, it shows up in sleep, focus, mood, and relationships. When something is unsettled internally, it affects how you cope, how you lead, and how you make decisions.
Modern work often demands high output with limited recovery. Over time, stress becomes familiar and harder to interrupt. You may notice reduced energy, slower thinking, irritability, or a decline in confidence, even while continuing to perform. These are common responses to prolonged strain, not personal shortcomings.
This is where work and mental health overlap.
My role is to help you identify what is actually driving your exhaustion, pressure, or uncertainty - the internal patterns, the external demands, and the interaction between the two. From there, we focus on changes that improve functioning in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and aligned with the direction you want for your work and life.
The People I Work With
Many of the people I work with are managing significant responsibility. They are capable, thoughtful, and used to functioning at a high level. Yet they are noticing strain that rest alone does not resolve.
Clients often come in navigating:
constant pressure to perform and deliver
burnout that returns despite time off
difficulty maintaining boundaries with work or others
anxiety that interferes with focus, sleep, or decision-making
uncertainty about whether to stay, shift roles, or make a larger change
feeling disconnected from work that once felt meaningful
This work is for people who want support that understands the realities of modern work and the psychological load that comes with it.
My Approach
I offer an integrated approach that supports your internal world and your professional direction.
Therapy focuses on the emotional patterns that contribute to overwhelm, self-doubt, or reactivity. We look at how stress is processed in the body, how your nervous system responds under pressure, and how long-standing patterns influence relationships and daily functioning.
Career counselling focuses on the external side - what is happening in your work life, what needs to shift, and what direction aligns with your strengths, values, and current season of life.
Together, these approaches give you a clear understanding of why things feel the way they do and what practical steps will move you forward. The aim is stronger daily functioning, more decisive thinking, and a path that remains workable over time.
The Results Clients Work Towards
Most clients arrive feeling stretched thin or stuck in repeating patterns.
With consistent support, they begin to notice meaningful changes:
more confident decision-making
less pressure to overfunction
clearer personal and professional boundaries
work that feels less consuming
a stronger sense of direction
more energy for life outside of work
The aim is not perfection. It is restoring capacity and making choices that reflect the life you want going forward.
