Career Counseling and Coaching in Moorpark, 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.

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.

As a certified International Life Coach, my approach to career counseling focuses on forward movement, and discovering together solutions to maximize one's strengths. I help my clients clarify values, which in turn, leads to uncovering their authentic selves. Knowing and owning who you are, are invaluable in discovering the best career choice and path. I utilize unique tools to unearth your own personal blueprint for your career and life. When we are young, we fall into our careers. When we mature, we choose them. I will help you to understand the ways in which your career needs have changed to fit your uniqueness.

As we develop we discover many interests, areas of strength, talents, and skills that allow us to eventually make a living. It has become fairly commonplace for adults in our society to become dissatisfied, bored, or challenged by a career that was at one time satisfying and rewarding. Many make career changes because of these personal changes or are forced to find a new career due to economic or social conditions. Psychotherapy can help you through exploring your personal strengths, challenges, interests, needs, and options - or it may help through work on managing anxieties, stresses, or emotions related to the work environment.

In Career Counseling I help my clients by guiding them toward identifying their goals, setting higher expectations for themselves, and achieving exceptional results. I have been successful in helping my clients to make improvement in their careers, and have reached the results they desired. In many cases also I have helped clients to choose new careers that has helped to improve their quality of life.

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.
