Are you fulfilling your purpose or are you not living into your potential? Do you wake up thinking "I was made for this" when it comes to career or do you struggle to get motivated for what lies ahead. Career satisfaction is highly correlated with life-satisfaction. Careers matter beyond how we generate an income. Learn to unblock where you are being held back. Learn the skills essential to make that next career move. Develop leadership skills to grow your company. Identify places you or your company need to make changes for your health and well-being or that of your employees. When we are happy and feel cared for at work, our productivity increases and so does our life satisfaction.

A wise person once told me, "Find something you love to do and find someone to pay you to do it." But the reality is that many people find themselves in careers they don't enjoy or lose the career they did enjoy. Whether you are disatisfied with your career, dealing with work related stress, or wondering what you are going to do next, counseling can provide a framework for you to work through the dissonance in your work life and get on the path of meaningful fulfillment with regards to your work or career, regardless of what stage in your life you are at.

Are you feeling stuck in your job? Are you feeling unfulfilled with your current employment? Are you wondering what to do with your career potential? Let’s find out together what the best next step is for you. There are always many factors to consider, and it’s important to me to support the best decision that makes the most sense and brings the most joy for my clients. I love to help people find a career path they truly enjoy and draw fulfillment from.

Most of us spend at least 1/3 of their lives at work. Given this amount of time, finding a career that we enjoy can be very important. We are most alive and fulfilled when we are using our gifts and talents. Counseling can be the ideal place to explore and identify these. Furthermore, some clients prefer a coaching approach, processing any obstacles that arise on their career path.

Careers are integral to the identities of many people, while for others careers are simply means for attaining a happy life. Whether you’re developing your first career or looking to switch careers, I use a combination of assessment batteries and counseling to explore my clients’ goals, preferences, and aptitudes to identify their career path and develop a plan for achieving it.

If you think of your career as a life long journey, there can be a lot of twists and turns. Making decisions and choosing which opportunities to pursue and which to turn down can be challenging and overwhelming. From increasing efficiency, navigating challenging workplace relationships, and managing mounting pressure, I can guide you to find the right path for you and help move your career forward.

Do you feel stuck in a job that doesn't bring you joy? Are you doing work that doesn't allow you to shine? We spend so much of our lives working, and research shows most people will have several careers in their lifetime. Wouldn't it be great if our work made us and others happy? Maybe it's time to reinvent yourself professionally. Depth psychotherapy can help you better understand who you are and what you have to contribute to the world. Together we can explore what brings you to life and how you can turn that passion into a career.

One aspect of therapy that many people may not be aware of is "Solution Focused Therapy." This is the intersection of therapy and coaching. So, if you are looking to make a change in your life, improve your financial outlook, and grow in your career, you are in the right place! I have extensive experience working with young adults entering their career field for the first time, supporting small business owners navigate complexities, and supporting mid-career professionals with making change. Meeting your career aspirations requires a positive mood, motivation, energy, and confidence-- tools that you will learn in therapy with me. I will motivate and help you.

Major career decisions and transitions can be one of life's greatest stressors. I work with clients who are navigating pivotal career moments to help guide them to the decisions that are best for their longterm life goals. I work on the underlying emotions that block career progression, such as stress, self-doubt, anxiety, and perfectionism. We'll work together to help you confidently walk the path of your career journey.

I help people who work for others or in their own business explore ways to improve their focus on being successful and growing their skills. We can work on interpersonal relationships and ways you may be sabotaging your own success by being too stressed, demanding or invisible. We will focus on what you can do now to improve your attitude and your relationships to make work more enjoyable for you and the people around you. This works with customers, bosses and peers. We can also look at new skills you may want to get to expand into new roles and careers.

A career takes up so much of someone's life. To be in a career that feels like a poor fit is to suffer for much of life. I aim to help patients talk honestly, to find the source of their suffering and glimmers of joy. By talking honestly and exploring your real self, we can find the right path to a fulfilling life and a career that feels like the rightful place for you.
