Career Counseling and Coaching in Encino, California.

I love working with overachieving women who are committed to being the best at what they do. But what happens when it never feels like you are good enough? What happens when your best isn’t rewarded in the workplace? I can provide consultation or counseling as needed to help identify the barriers to you feeling calm, confident, and successful at work.

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.

Sometimes, our beliefs about ourselves can get in the way of successfully achieving our own goals. Many people don't truly believe that they have the skills or character that it takes to reach their full potential. It is time to stop making excuses and do something about it. I will help you with your self-esteem, self-doubt, and whatever other blocks are preventing you from getting what you want.

While most career counselors love to give you capacity based profiles of what your talents and interests are for your best bet career choices, Grey Matters international believes that most people make predictably irrational decisions and then after making them learn way to make them fit into their identities using various types of rationalizations and strategies. We are able to assist folks in career counseling type settings by giving a deeper look at their decision making profile so they can better understand where the core frustration or desire is coming from in the world of work.

Clients seeking career counseling are usually seeking more than an increase in their income and benefits package. They are often seeking a path to identify and express their life’s purpose professionally (and personally). In our collaboration, clients and I identify their core values and creative options. Also, together we uncover conscious and unconscious “cognitive constructs” that undermine the active pursuit of their ideal career. Finally, we collaboratively design a flexible plan that embraces their life’s purpose, while cultivating insight, skill and the daily commitment needed to attain a professional (and personal) path that will give them the most intrinsic satisfaction.

Anxiety and stress surrounding ones career are often a major issue in a person’s life. Professional guidance can illuminate and reduce these anxieties while providing a path to career happiness. I can help you figure out what aspects of your career are most important to you in order to help you make the important choices and changes that will result in your most fulfilled life.
