Career Counseling and Coaching in Mantua, Virginia.

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.
