Career Counseling and Coaching in Sykesville, Maryland.

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.

You might be dealing with a loss of career direction, feeling stuck and unsatisfied in your job situation, or an outright career “crisis” with anxiety provoking changes. In all of these situations you can benefit from career counseling with a licensed professional counselor who also has over 20 years of human resources management experience in various types of organizations. Developing a collaborative alliance with a professional counselor who offers this dual perspective (managing both the internal emotional/cognitive factors and the external work and market place realities) can enhance your ability to make thoughtful, strategic decisions with meaningful progress towards your career goals.

Many of my clients struggle with figuring out how work fits into their lives. While I rarely do formalized assessments, I often work with clients to figure out what kind of work or vocation fits with their values and how they might pursue it. I personally believe that one's choice of work is very important, and it helps sometimes to talk to someone else openly about it, no matter the circumstance.

If you want to move into a different career or are not sure what you want to do, we will work together to help you develop a plan for the future. Have you ever thought about going back to school? The process I use will help you to learn more about yourself as you investigate different career options. I will help you to identify your interests and will show you how to connect those interests to different jobs. You will also look at your personal values and learn how to use your values to help you make a career move.
