Career Counseling

I combine focused study of workplace issues with experience from a lifetime of corporate work. I have a passion for helping people navigate career transitions from starting out, to starting again, to retirement's second act. We might explore what changes feel right, even if they feel scary, or how to believe in yourself and find meaning and balance between work and life.

When facing changes, one of the questions we often confront is who am I and what do I want to do with this short life? We may call it "career counseling" but the ways we choose to spend our days is a crucial choice, with many important limitations and consequences. Together, we can work to identify your values, who you are, and what kind of life you would like to authentically choose for yourself.

Is your job getting you down? Are you feeling burned out, and not sure how to turn it around? Maybe at this point you can't even remember why you accepted the job in the first place. Or perhaps you're an entrepreneur and can't seem to create the work-life balance you'd thought you would have achieved by now. You've noticed that getting through the week is getting harder and harder, and the coping strategies that used to work just aren't cutting it anymore. No worries - I can help!

How we feel about our careers and the healthiness of our work environments have significant relationships to our mental and emotional health. I have successfully worked with many clients on 'imposter syndrome,' boundaries, finding career passions, work-life balance, healing from toxic work environments, job search struggles & successes, and exploring their next career step!

Very often people feel stuck in their work OR feel like their career has not even started. Being in a job that is a poor fit can be frustrating & even lead to depression or anxiety. This can go on to impact our personal life & relationships. Further, the rapid advancement in technology is creating new opportunities, but can seem overwhelming to know where to start. Lets put our heads together to see what is possible for you.

Finding a job that suits your needs, your purpose, and your values can be super hard. Especially if you're not sure if you're in the wrong job OR if you're not managing it properly. Once you've identified what you want to do, it is important to set yourself up for success - from the first interview, to every-day work life, through promotion and future career goals. Let's talk about how you can maximize your strengths, manage your day, and succeed at work.

Have you recently felt unfulfilled in your career? Are you considering making a big change but feel too overwhelmed to begin? Are you struggling with assertiveness or dealing with work politics that you’d like practical and effective solutions to? Career counseling may be a helpful solution for you. I have worked with many clients through major career transitions. Together we can create a tangible plan towards a career more aligned with you that feels emotionally manageable.

Career-related therapy/counseling focuses on gaining insight into your underlying thoughts and emotions around your career, figuring out what role you want your career to play in your life, exploring what matters to you in your career and why, and understanding how you might approach your career trajectory going forward in a way that is more psychologically healthy for you. I also have experience helping people cope better with unemployment.

It explores potential career paths and facilitates goal setting. This therapy supports dealing with work-related stress, career transitions, and striking a balance between work and personal life.

I became a therapist later in life, so I have worked in a variety of jobs and industries. One was working at YMCA, where I taught college exploration. At another job, I helped students find scholarships and write college essays. As a DV counselor, I have helped people explore what comes next in their lives, which is often a career change. It can be emotionally beneficial to have a career that brings joy and independence, and there are numerous resources to help people find what that is for them.

The career counseling I offer is a bit different than helping you determine your life's calling, next career move, or navigating a job search. While I'm qualified in those areas, I specializing in helping others work through how anxiety, self-esteem, confidence, burnout, and people-pleasing are impacting their career performance. I enjoy helping others feel more secure and in control of their job and professional identity by tackling these issues within the specific context of their career.
