I have 3 years experience working with adults of all ages in a college counseling center. Career issues was often something discussed. It may be that someone is unsure of what to major in, or be mid-life and wanting a career change.

Some career testing may also be conducted to help determine your areas of interest. We will also work on decreasing any distress that you may be experiencing through this porcess.

Sometimes in life we decide that we need to make some changes in our life direction. This may include changing careers. This decision is not limited to young adults in their early 20’s. This can happen at any age and during any life cycle transition. I work with clients trying to define and clarify their life’s direction and career goals to help them reach their full potential. I can help you navigate this process so that you feel less overwhelmed and stressed while redefining your chosen path.

Career development is a process that can be greatly affected by a person’s self-esteem. Our family can influence how our self-concept developed. As we encounter new experiences, have various successes and failures during our development, our self-concept can change over the course of time. We work with people by helping them to explore how they arrived at their present situation, get in touch with their own priorities and values, and integrate these into their identity of which career is a part of as opposed to the end goal. People experience satisfaction if they are able to be in a career, experience relationships and enjoy leisure activities that are in harmony with their value system.

If you are feeling dissatisfied with your work life or having trouble getting clear on what you want to do in your career, it's time to step back and take a look from both a higher and deeper perspective. It's good to take a bird's eye view of your life and see what's working and what's not serving you so well. Working with a counselor, you can take a look at the choices you have made without beating yourself up for wrong turns you might have made along the way. Working together, I can help you discover what you have learned along the way. We can also dig deeper into what has meaning for you. Finding work that is in alignment with your true values means a happier, more satisfying life.
