Career Counseling and Coaching in Pollock Pines, California.

Finding work that is meaningful and rewarding, yet pays the bills at the level you desire, is one of life's most challenging tasks. I am a successful entrepreneur who has started and owned several businesses, starting in 6th grade. I have always been self employed and have navigated multiple re-inventions of finding ways to use my gifts and talents. I bring my own background of intimate engagement with this process, along with use of the Meyers-Briggs to help you determine your career path. My goal is to support you in defining what matters most to you and helping you achieve the direction your heart is urging you to go.

Lacking a sense of direction and purpose? Transitioning careers or feeling stuck and potentially lost with what's next. I can provide support and guidance along the way. We can explore past cycles, strengths, goals, and implement action steps to move you closer to your ideals. Please contact me to inquire about how I can help to determine goodness of fit.

I support individual clients experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, and mental and emotional exhaustion. I often work with Highly Sensitive People, or empaths, who are more susceptible to these experiences. I support those in helping professions like teachers, therapists, parents, medical professionals, and difficult work environments create their boundaries in their workspace for personal well-being.

Work is an enormously important part of our lives. As is often said, we spend more hours of our lives at work than anywhere else. So making that work as good as it can be is vitally important to our health, sanity, and general well-being. Yet that, like so many things, can be easier said than done. I can help you explore your upbringing and education, your personal values, needs, and desires, along with ambitions and fears to help you find and succeed along a well-chosen professional path. This kind of support and guidance is just as important for someone just embarking on a career as it is for someone well along the path. It's never too late to take control of your direction.

I help clients with addictive behaviours or substance use that is interfering with their ability to achieve a fulfilling career. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain a sense of purpose and direction, overcoming barriers to making meaningful progress in their professional life. Gaining a sense of control over one's life allows for increased confidence and self-esteem. I help clients build the motivation necessary to take steps toward a future filled with passion, thriving, and mental resilliance.

Career Counseling is about change. Whether you are changing a career position, seeking a new field, or a student changing a major, the core of career counseling is preparation and the understanding of your goals and how they affect your life as a whole. In my practice, I do not use assessments or aptitude tests, as I believe the client is the best source of information. Together we will review your education, interests, work history and the reasons to make a change at this time in your life. Additionally, we will evaluate your level of risk taking, relationships and approaches to pursue a new career path. My style is comprehensive and tailored to you to help your reach your career goals.
