Oftentimes, people seek out career counseling because they are finding that their current job is not making them happy. From a Christian perspective, finding the work or "mission" God has designed you for is often called "finding your purpose" which we believe is the key to happiness in your work. In my work with Christians I strive to help people to find this purpose in their lives.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Prior to becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist, I worked at IBM for 14 years. IBM started downsizing and I was faced with the decision of having to move out of state in order to keep my job with IBM. I chose to stay and pursue my passion to become a therapist, but it required going to school for 6 years while working full time. I have personally faced changing careers mid-life and have successfully navigated the obstacles that stood in my way. I would love to help you find your way as you are plotting your course. Please give me a call at 714-751-0888 so I can help you remove any barriers that stand in the way of you pursuing your dreams.

With training at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching, I am confident we can explore goals, strengths, and values around career and work. We may clarify your direction, identify skill sets, navigate transitions, and develop strategies for pursuing meaningful opportunities. I believe in an essential truth that there is unrealized potential in all of us and focusing on the professional self can be illuminating.
