Are you growing bored, unappreciated or frustrated at work? A person's God-given temperament should always be considered when determining a career path. An assessment will be administered to assist in career/occupational guidance. This assessment will aid in understanding and identifying an individual's strengths, weaknesses, stressors, intellectual energies, decision making skills, and the desire to take on responsibilities. Based on the results of the assessment, and with my guidance, the client will become more aware of careers and/or jobs which may, or may not, serve them well in the areas of emotional and mental stimulation and satisfaction.

Career counseling is a significant tool in developing and improving your career situation. The assessment process can help with developing strategies, weighing benefits and risks, identifying resources, and discovering the inner strength necessary for pursuing a rewarding career. Perhaps you are in transition or simply want to evaluate your skills towards a new career. Assessments such as the Arno Profile System Response Form and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator provide clarity when considering complex career decisions. Guidance with a Christian counseling and coach will help put your goals and life on the right track.

A core element of navigating career decisions is being able to know, understand and trust yourself. My understanding of personality types (and the strengths and weaknesses of each) is just one way that I help clients to make sense of themselves in places where they feel unsure of the way forward. Additionally, I also help clients work through any underlying dynamics which are making it difficult for them to better hear what their own intuition (i.e., their "gut") is trying to tell them. My overall goal is help you gain clarity about yourself, and whatever possibilities you are considering, so that you can experience peace regarding whatever you decide vocationally.

I will ask you to take a test which will show your particular values and character strengths. People are happiest in work that uses their top strengths every day. this gives both satisfaction of purpose and passion/engagement in doing the work.. It is another dimension beyond looking for ways to use the skills you may have.

It can be very hard to find exactly what you want to do in life. Uncovering one's purpose, though supposedly intuitive, can be elusive and transitive. What's more, messages from friends, family and society can add to the confusion. You may feel like you know what you are doing right now is not quite right, but you are not sure what is the next step. Or the thing you love to do does not fit with other dreams you have for your life. Working together we will unpack the complex pieces of career and purpose, allowing you greater freedom and clarity from which to make decisions. You do not have to know right now what is next, only that you wish things to be different.

We spend most of our lives working. When our work doesn’t feel fulfilling, then our lives can feel empty. I believe that everyone has the potential to live a life that they find meaningful. We will work together to help you understand your values, identify your unique strengths, and realize your worth as an individual. This will serve as the foundation to help you unlock your potential. Together, we will work to help you build the confidence and skills you need to pursue the kind of career you want.

In American society, our careers help define us. And finding purpose in our careers gives us a sense of worth. As a therapist I see that although a career may pay our expenses it should not define us. It should, however, offer some benefit in either our personal development or fulfillment. I work with my clients to find ways to identify what is useful and discuss where these skills could be applied.

Insight assists young adults struggling to find their direction. Clinicians individualize treatment to explore barriers that might be holding back individuals from succeeding in an educational path or career choice. A combination of therapy, coaching, and psychological testing may be used to identify a plan. We also help those who feel stagnant in their current jobs and are looking to change careers as well as those approaching retirement.
