Career Counseling and Coaching in Placentia, California.

Most people will have very different multiple careers in their lives. This can be very confusing and frightening. We all want to make the right choices. We want to be happy in our work and make enough money to live the life style we desire. We want to make as few mistakes in our choices as possible. We will work to clear the clouds by getting closer to understanding our needs and desires. We will set action goals, identify targets, evaluate results and continue refining the process until we are satisfied with the results.

The careers we choose and do in life become an identity and sense of purpose that can either fulfill us or drown us in misery. When we work on increasing our individual power we are able to work towards that which fulfills us (mentally, physically, and emotionally) so that we aren't left working out of fear, scarcity, or insecurity. Instead, our career becomes a place of excitement, joy, and adventure.

Prior to becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist, I worked at IBM for 14 years.
