I have focused solely on career counseling my entire professional career, so you will receive expert assistance rather than help from someone perhaps dabbling in career counseling.
As a career counselor exclusively, I help people clarify career and education goals and also be more successful in the job search. Are you perhaps asking the lifelong question, "What Do I Want to Be When I Grow Up?" Whether you are in high school or about to retire, I can help you make choices to be happier and more successful. Or do you feel like your resume is getting lost in the black hole of the Internet? I can help you present yourself in the best possible light and use your time with the most successful search strategies.

Unfortunately, I am not accepting new clients at this time. I work primarily with adults experiencing emotional challenges. This often looks like depression, anxiety, or grief. I also work with individuals going through a transition in life, relationships, career, or health status. During a difficult season in life we are more open to learning new skills and perspectives.

My professional specialty lies at the intersection of grief, career, and mental health counseling. I welcome the opportunity to support clients facing challenges, decisions, or transitions that relate to any one of those areas, and thrive when working together to tackle more. Imagine a triangle with grief (coping with loss), career (exercising our strengths), and mental health (balance and contentment) concerns as its three points. I believe everyone has a triangle of different shapes and sizes with these same three points, and my counseling work strives to help clients reshape their triangles into the form that meets current needs.

I began my career in business and realized that not following my passion to help others was draining my energy.
My passion is to help individuals see the best in themselves. I inspire with an easy going, caring style to create a supportive environment. Our daily lives can be overwhelming with too many commitments and lacking in emotional support. Too often we feel unheard; our thoughts are clouded in self criticism; and we are stuck in patterns that are self defeating. I provide an integrative approach to treatment allowing you to share your story, develop healthy and supportive thoughts, and create a lifestyle that supports your mind and body.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
