We know being satisfied at work is not just about productivity and competency. You may be great at what you do. You may be very successful by every external metric. Or maybe you aren't motivated or aren't stimulated by what you do. You have to find a way to navigate your current position or find a new one that is satisfying and fulfulling. We help clients clarify their values and identify beliefs and behavioral patterns that have interfered with taking the risks necessary to be professionally fulfilled. Your work life is certainly about financial security, but it can do more than put food on the table. It can feed you intellectually, interpersonally, and emotionally.

Various internal conflict underlie career problems. Often counselors give advice to those who come to them for career counseling, but I stay away from advice. Giving clients advice only keeps them dependent on you. Instead, I focus on the underlying conflicts that are related to low self-esteem, fear of competing or an inability to assert themselves. Often women have their own kind of conflicts about being a woman in a man's world, and internal resentments hold them back. My approach is to focus on the conflicts of each client and help them resolve them and cope more effectively. The approach has proven over the years to be quite successful.

Earning a living is a major part of our lives; ideally it should be fulfilling as well as providing for material needs. If you are unhappy in your work life, there are many approaches and choices that can radically improve it. Sometimes it is a matter of altering attitude and motivation so that you exude energy not resignation. Transitioning to a new position of responsibility can call for flexibility in modifying work habits, and handling interpersonal relationships. Engineering a career change is more possible than most of us realize, but there are intimidating challenges. Recognizing when one is in a dead end is occasionally necessary; especially if you've invested years of effort.

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.

Choosing a career is one of the biggest decisions we make in our lives. The world is wide open. There are many possibilities, sometimes causing more overwhelm than expected. Im here to help you navigate the process of exploring possibilities, while creating a reasonable, individualized plan of action to help you get clarity and move forward with the next right step in your path of confidently choosing a meaningful career you can succeed in.

Satisfaction with your career is critical. Many people spend the majority of their waking hours at their jobs. Therefore, my career counseling goals are to enable you to not only perform adequately at your job, but to identify your passions and provide you with tools that will help you achieve your full potential. This involves a detailed analysis of your strengths and weaknesses so that you can develop a comprehensive understanding of how to optimally implement your professional skills.

Finding a satisfying career or profession is one of life’s major and most important challenges. Deciding how to direct ourselves, and what qualities we want from our work, involves knowing what we value and how our values are expressed in what we do. Not incidentally, we also need to be able to support ourselves and those dependent on us financially without depleting our vitality. Career counseling with me explores these issues in light of your education and life experience. We also evaluate your hopes, desires and skills in terms of what is practical, given the social and economic realities of your life. Resulting personal discoveries can lead to appropriate choices with potential for growth....

I find it very rewarding to embark upon a journey of exploration with my clients to discover career paths that can fulfill personal goals and aspirations. By coming to an understanding your personal and work history, I can assist you in determining the career(s) that best meet your own requirements for professional, economic, and personal satisfaction.

Sigmund Freud noted that people generally need two things to live a good life, one is love and the other is work. In the love category this could be the love of family, friends or community. In the work area the need is to have something one does on a regular basis that contributes to feeling productive and like you are contributing to the world. Finding the work you love can be worked on in therapy so that you can get started feeling industrious and showing up fully in your life.

Career counseling is synonymous with career transitioning and career change presents a unique set of challenges. I help clients discover interesting and unusual ways to create and maintain satisfying, meaningful and life-affirming careers whether they are trying to maneuver through an established work system -- or venture out on their own, independently.

Do you feel like lack of social confidence, anxiety, and poor social skills are keeping you back at work? Or maybe you are just starting your career and selecting jobs that won't require talking much to others or socializing, because you just feel so anxious even thinking about that. Do you dread group work, social events, speaking out in meetings, parties and networking? I have good news for you! Social confidence is a learned skill, one you can learn just like any other. You just need the right information, some support and feedback and the drive to try some new things. The rewards are potentially very large, especially at work. Level up your career and your life!

Learning how to navigate the professional world can be more than daunting. We are given the skills and tools we need to actually complete jobs, but not the training to learn how to navigate the political and ever changing professional world. In counseling with me, you will gain insight into your hopes for the future, as well as the fears that might hold you in what is currently comfortable. From there, we will set practical and achievable goals both for the short and long term, helping you to realize your perfect or dream career!
