I utilize an insight-driven approach with individuals, couples, and families going through major and minor life transitions including career changes, educational pursuits, relationship issues, grief and loss, living with medical diagnoses, and retirement.
Many people desire a deeper understanding of their emotional lives. Often, childhood patterns can hinder our progress towards greater fulfillment and sense of purpose. We seek to understand our inner lives and gain deeper connections with others. As we search for greater meaning and belonging, we might get stuck in old feelings and fears that prevent us from moving forward. It is important to have a counselor to accompany each of us during the times of deep transition and change.

Anxiety can be destructive on your life. Change can be a great opportunity and scary. Anxiety and stress are unfortunately lifelong, and can ebb and flow at different levels when events, often outside of our control, converge at the same time! The same with Depression, and it is such a dark place to be when you feel all alone, not sure how to get yourself out of the pit of sadness. It is during those times, when having a therapist can truly help you calm your mind and re-focus on tasks to re-claim yourself. Maybe you are you facing a career change? Together we will find ways to heal and return to your life!

The Know You Project is a career consulting service aimed at helping people discover more about who they are, how they're wired, their strength/passion areas, and what career path might be best suited for them.

We offer both clarity on vision, as well as personalized job-hunt tools that make clients stand out during the search

In a world where career demands overshadow personal fulfillment, you may find yourself at a crossroad. For the dedicated spouse of a high-powered executive, it’s about rediscovering identity beyond family life or rekindling a relationship overshadowed by a demanding career. For the high-achieving professional, it's the struggle to maintain a sense of well-being amid work pressures. It's about finding peace and fulfillment where they seem most elusive. You need a therapeutic perspective that not only comprehends the unique dynamics of your professional and personal life but also speaks the language of your daily experiences.

I see the person as existing in four identifiably separate ways - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally - yet so intricately formed into a single being. I see mental and emotional difficulties stemming from factors including past and present, genetics and environment, and a person's own ability and motivation to change. My job is to assist in your awareness of yourself in all four areas, but especially to facilitate your mental and emotional growth. No one knows you better than you. I will never be the expert on you. I would be honored to serve you through the counseling venue.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
