Mental Health Consultant
It’s okay not to be okay and to ask for help.
I can help!
Are you overwhelmed?
Does the rise in mental health cases, lack of support, inadequate training, and increased responsibilities weigh you down?
Unfortunately, too many of us struggle privately for far too long and end up unmotivated or burnout. You are not alone!

Benefits of Consultation
Solve Problems
The first step is helping you clarify your problems. Next we will discover and apply our combined wisdom to find solutions. Problem solving involves assisting you with what to do and explaining how and why it’s done so that you can independently solve problems in the future.
Highly Confidential
Consultation services are highly confidential and professional. They are delivered in a carefully designed facilitative and collaborative manner in order to accomplish specific goals.
Constructive Feedback
Feedback is an essential component of consultation. By engaging and challenging your progression in a constructive way (information specific, issue-focused and based on observations). I’ll provide guidance on expectations and outcomes. Feedback will help define where you are and determine next steps to achieving identified goals.
Emotional Support
It’s common to become emotional when you’re overwhelmed by daily workplace challenges that can become toxic. Raw emotions such as anger, fear, frustration and worry may be hindering your success. I will use a common-sense approach to help you define the problem (awareness), acknowledge the problem (acceptance) and develop a plan to resolve the problem (action).
