Career Counseling: Most clients’ first come to me with a feeling of being trapped by the circumstances that work/life has presented them. It’s very frustrating!

Importantly, you can become aware of perceptions and experiences not previously available to you. The tools/exercises that we use in session experientially shift us out of our everyday minds.

Working on career issues is one of my specialties. I have experience working with a wide range of professional issues. These include: hitting a plateau in a current career and wanting to change into an entirely different field, having interpersonal issues at work that are creating difficulties and perhaps obstacles to further advancement, and feeling indecisive or overwhelmed with career decisions facing you during college and post-college, uncertain what the next step should be. My practice can be the ideal place to work through these and other professional issues.
