Career Counseling and Coaching in Rosemont, California.

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.

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.

Can't stand your boss? Is a co-worker driving you crazy? Work can be very stressful if you do not know how to deal with difficult people, have ineffective communication skills, have chosen the wrong career or just feel like you hate your job. I can help you to develop effective stress management techniques, reduce your frustrations, and gain a sense of peace in your life. Let me guide you in dealing with depression and anxiety in your work environment.

I help clients decide which careers to pursue based on their interests, skills, values, and opportunities. Often, people believe they have to turn their passion into a career. You don't. In fact, often people find that what was their passion before it became work has turned into a job. I help clients discover areas of opportunity available to them that help them establish a clear path to achieving the things that are most important to them and allow them to pursue their passions along side their career.

Do you have trouble with your boss? Do you wish your work life could be different and could be better? If you are concerned about your career and feel frustrated with the job you have, counseling can help you develop a plan. You spend too much time at work to not enjoy it. I help people look at their work and help them see what options they have in order to make their current job work or move on to another job. Give me a call at 916-847-8053 to find how my services can help you.

Are you considering a job or career change? Have you recently left a job? Having successfully changed careers myself, I can help you navigate the mixed and often confusing emotions that can accompany such an important decision. Choosing a vocation can be challenging, exciting, and sometimes scary. It is a time when we need support and encouragement. Let me be an unbiased person who will listen, suggest alternative ways of looking at a situation, and offer support. I can help you convert a stressful time into a fulfilling life transition.

Are you struggling to move forward in your career? Are you fighting to figure out what you want to be "when you grow up?" Don't worry. Most adults reach a point in their life where they realize they are not walking the path they thought they should be by this age or time in their life. My Life Coaching sessions will help you identify your goals and provide you with the tools to achieve them.

Career Counseling provides support and concrete action steps for adults, college-age, and teenagers with challenges related to career such as job loss, career identification, job search strategy, interview preparation, resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profile, salary negotiation, advancement strategy, stress, and work/life balance. As a Career Counselor, Life Coach, and Therapist, I understand that emotional stress related to career can have a negative effect on how you think and feel about yourself, on your couple and family relationships, and more. Let's figure out what you need and develop a supportive action plan for taking the next step toward your career and life success.

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.

Whether you' re dissatisfied with your current job/career and looking to make significant changes, or actively looking for a new job/career and can't find the right fit, I can help you explore your talents and passions and help you develop a plan of action to achieve your goals. Going to work each day and being miserable and unsatisfied is no way to live, neither is constantly being frustrated in your search to finding a satisfying position . Please contact me today so I can help support you through this phase in your life and help get you on on the right career path.
