Career Counseling and Coaching in Wasco, California.

Wether its loosing interest in your current work or being chronically stressed in a career you love, professional challenges can penetrate to your core identity and sense of worthiness. Through the therapy process, I will guide you through identification of your wants and needs, support you in learning how to avoid burnout and compassion fatigue, help build new habits that sustain motivation, and work with you through the emotional blocks that keep you from taking action on important career decisions. You can find a sense of contentment about your professional life and therapy can get you there. Call or email today to further discuss your career stressors and my therapy approach.

Career Counseling is about change. Whether you are changing a career position you have held for years or choosing a major, the core of career counseling is preparation and understanding your goals and how they affect your life as a whole. In my practice I do not address this topic with assessments or aptitude tests as I believe the client is the best source of information. We will examine your work history and interests and examine reasons to make a change at this time in your life. Together we will evaluate your level of risk taking, strengths, relationships, education, approaches to pursue new career or changes within your current field, stress management, and pursuit of your overall goals

Career exploration is a life long process and it is helpful to have guidance and feedback on this journey. I will work with you to identify what it is you want out of a career and together we can work on a plan to meet your identified goals. This is done by aptitude testing, educational skills testing, and researching what fields most interest you.

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.

A wise person once told me, "Find something you love to do and find someone to pay you to do it." But the reality is that many people find themselves in careers they don't enjoy or lose the career they did enjoy. Whether you are disatisfied with your career, dealing with work related stress, or wondering what you are going to do next, counseling can provide a framework for you to work through the dissonance in your work life and get on the path of meaningful fulfillment with regards to your work or career, regardless of what stage in your life you are at.

Talking with an experienced professional during seasons of career and life transitions can provide an open, nonjudgmental place to share the things you have kept inside. The self-doubts, frustration with others, and understanding what your purpose is, are welcomed here. I help individuals before, during, and after these changes. If you are looking for support while making decisions about the next steps are going to be, I am here to help.

Lacking a sense of direction and purpose? Transitioning careers or feel stuck and potentially lost with what's next. I can provide support and guidance along the way utilizing therapeutic strategies as well as coaching. I am also a certified life coach and will utilize tools specific towards examining your strengths and skill set and integrate multiple stratigies to increase clarity towards a career aligned with your values and beliefs.
