Work Therapy & Coaching

Psychotherapy & coaching for folks navigating toxic workplaces, workplace trauma, work stress, burnout, and difficult experiences at work
Maybe you’re struggling to navigate a toxic workplace. Maybe you’ve been forced out of a job you love after many years. Or perhaps you’re carrying guilt, anxiety, anger or self-doubt long after something happened.
If your work is affecting the rest of your life, psychotherapy & coaching can help by helping you understand what happened in you’re environment and in you and working with you to rebuild and move forward.
I approach your care with curiosity, understanding, and courage because your mental health deserves attention. I offer psychotherapy services to people living in BC and coaching services to those living outside of BC.
What I do
I provide a space for individual and collective healing.
We live in contexts that seek to turn us into products and a means to an end.
I offer an alternative space where we can move toward embodied, relational work.
How I do
Our movement:
What’s wrong with me?
To
What’s happening in my nervous system, environment, and social contexts?
To
What does sustainable, humane, embodied interactions & work look like for me?
There is space for your whole experience!

Psychotherapy: Relational & Embodied
01
Together we explore thoughts, emotions, nervous systems, patterns, and lived experience so we can navigate your next right move, heal past wounding, and change what no longer serves you. We work on uncovering your path forward so you can navigate your work experience with more peace and live a more expansive life.
* Third party collaboration/advocacy (up to 15min) & relevant psychological assessments are provided at no extra cost when applicable*
Workplace Coaching: Clarity & Strategy
02
Together we work through a goal-oriented process that helps you gain clarity, direction, and practical strategies to navigate professional challenges, strengthen leadership, and make aligned decisions at work. Coaching is present and future focused, emphasizing performance, problem-solving, and actionable change.
Group Events: Healing in Community
03
Healing isn’t just individual work, it’s also collective work. Group events offer guided, shared experiences that support connection, reflection, and experiential practices. In a supportive community setting, participants can build resilience, deepen self-awareness, and experience a sense of belonging.
