Still feeling drained in your career… but not sure what to do next?
What you need is a strategy, not more overthinking.
On this 1:1 Career Planning Day with me (a Career Psychotherapist), we will:
↳ Get clear on what’s not working and what you actually want in your career for 2026.
↳ Map out a step-by-step, values-aligned plan so you can feel energized instead of depleted by your work.
↳ Identify the boundaries, positioning, and support you need to attract better, more aligned opportunities.
This is for you if:
• You’re craving more balance and better pay without burning out.
• You know “doing it alone” and staying stuck isn’t working anymore.
• You want 2026 to feel different – intentional, grounded, and aligned.
There are 2 spots left for January for a private Strategic Career Planning Day.
➡️ Book a chat with me to see if this is the right fit and secure your spot.

Feeling stuck, second-guessing every move, and craving a clear career direction for 2026?
2026 Career Therapy Intensives are now open for booking.
A career therapy intensive is a focused, one-on-one counseling day with a career therapist (that’s me) where you:
➡️ Dig deep into what’s actually keeping you stuck.
➡️ Remove mental and emotional roadblocks that drain your energy.
➡️Map out your next steps with real-time feedback, clarity, and support.
This is not a generic workshop.
It’s an in-person, hands-on career intensive in The Durham Region designed for professionals who are ready to get strategic and intentional about 2026.
During your intensive, we can:
☑️ Break through confusion and identify the moves that matter most for your career path.
☑️ Build your 2026 action plan: a step-by-step roadmap with bold, confidence-building actions tailored to your goals.
☑️ Create coping strategies for burnout, career pivots, and major workplace transitions.
☑️ Design a career or business path that actually aligns with your values, skills, and ambitions.

🌱 My year had one consistent theme: Growth.
Professionally and personally, it’s been a season of stretching, learning, and evolving. From sold-out workshops to new digital products, to finally holding a yoga pose that took a year to master—it’s all growth.
And as I step into a new season, I’m not chasing goals… I’m building an intentional life.
Your turn: What kind of growth are *you* celebrating right now?

If you have been thinking about a career change for a while and know you feel terrified here’s why.
The fear of the unknown and worst case scenario may be holding you back.
And what if it turned out so much better than you thought?
What if instead of focusing on the worst case scenario you focus on the best case scenario.
What if instead of focusing on feeling stuck you focus on the life you aspire to live.
A career change can be scary but it doesn’t have to be.
And if you want to chat more about what your career future looks like happy to connect further.
Your ideal career is closer than you think.

Creating New Steps was created out of observing the continuous pattern of challenges individuals are experiencing within their careers. More and more professionals are unhappy in their current role, they are experiencing increasing levels of career dissatisfaction, workplace burn-out, and they are unsure about how to move forward in the next steps of their career. Creating New Steps helps professionals find their passions and purpose in their career and provides tools and strategies to help them succeed. It also helps support organizations in their goals to help employees succeed in their roles and enhance employee engagement.
Social Work and Focus Area
Social work practices involves the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of individuals, families, couples or groups experiencing challenges in their life. As a licensed social worker my focus areas is in two parts: helping individuals who are in a career transition and helping those who need stress management or work-life balance. My passion is to help people succeed. I choose to focus on solutions rather than concentrating on the past. I provide a solution focused approach to help individuals best navigate their career.
What is a session, or a workshop like with me?
My coaching sessions involve asking a set of guided questions to help draw out individuals’ stories. I help in the exploration of options and visualization of the future. Depending on the client’s focus, the session may involve assessments, exploring strategies for success, or identifying the challenges or barriers in elevating their career. Sessions may also involve a review of past and current career strategies including the approach, marketing efforts including resume and cover letter review or interview skills as well as how to minimize or prevent workplace burnout . Each session is tailored towards client’s unique individual needs.
In a workshop setting I engage participants by helping them explore their unique needs and challenges. Sessions can involve an exploration of strategies to help individuals be successful in their career. It can include value assessments and a combination of interactive activities and take-home assignments to affect change.
My approach is simple; you come ready to do the work and I will provide the tools, resources and support you need to get to the next level.
I am also available for speaking initiatives and can speak on a variety of topics including but not limited to career development strategies, employee engagement, workplace burn-out, millennials in the workplace, the future of work, and understanding the side-hustle.
