The work that I do with adult clients usually relates to a developmental life crises. We are always facing dilemmas and struggles that affect our mental health and well being. For many the work that we do in part defines who we are and how we feel about ourselves. The counseling that I provide in may practice relates to either: 1) developing a career plan/path from what has been previously established or 2) forging ahead in un-chartered territory to establish a different career/employment path. Your work or your profession needs to have meaning and you need to know what that meaning is all about.

Many think of career counseling as focused conversations that help you figure out what kind of job will make you happy. For most people, choosing a career is a luxury. The single mom isn’t “realizing her potential” or “living her dreams” by working as a fry cook. But she is paying the bills; the hours are flexible; and she lots of time to spend with her kids. When it comes to making money, I am a realist. You may never get paid to play tennis, or make art, or build a sailboat. But if you know what gives you passion, purpose, and direction, you can choose a career path that leaves time and energy for the things you love.

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.

Are you considering a change in careers? Are you feeling burned out or stagnant in your current job or career? It can be unsettling to feel "stuck" in a place you no longer want to be. It can feel disorienting, not knowing what you want to do next, or how to get there. You may feel you don't have the emotional presence to figure it out. You may feel it is all you can do to get through each day of the position you do have. I can help you turn that around. I would help you to explore your interests, your desires, your strengths and skills. As you start feeling better and more optimistic, you may find yourself with more energy to start moving toward a new idea and setting new goals.

I believe we are supposed to learn and grow throughout our lives and that our careers grow and progress with us. There can be so much anxiety and fear when trying to chose a career, deciding whether to stay in a career, or struggling with challenges (and people) in your chosen career. My goal is to help you get grounded in your beliefs, values, and priorities so that you can feel confident about the choices you are making. I want to help you learn how to reduce burnout, stop second guessing yourself, and find excitement again.

We spend the majority of our time at the workplace and so when we love our job, we have a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. When we either don't have one or don’t love the one we have, we struggle greatly. My approach to career counseling is simple. Let's figure out what factors are important to you in life. Is it structure? Is it flexibility? Do you prefer working with a team or by yourself? Do you like to be creative? Do you like working with people? Once we figure out who you are and what you need to feel fulfilled, we can then find a career that caters to those desires.

As a psychologist, I offer a variety of serves to facilitate a clarification of goals of priorities, including career interest testing to match current skills and aptitudes. I also provide sexual harassment seminars for local companies.
