You may have been in therapy before and found it to be less than successful. Or maybe you've been happy in therapy in the past and are looking to begin again. You may question why you should go to therapy when you could just as easily talk to your hairdresser, a bartender or a friend. Or maybe this is your first time looking for help.

I believe that relationships have the ability to serve as containers for significant personal growth as well as relational healing. I work with relationships of all types to break long-standing patterns of conflict or to navigate recent ruptures, and I am particularly passionate about supporting partners and individuals exploring nontraditional relationship structures. I also work from a trauma-informed perspective with individuals who are facing life transitions, struggling with relational challenges, or feeling like something from the past is getting in the way of living life with ease.

Reduced fee openings available for November 2024! Individuals I work with may describe themselves as being self-critical, and as a result often experience anxiety, overwhelm, interpersonal stress, shame, or depression as they navigate their responsibilities. They might care so much about others or what is expected of them that they forget about their own needs, leading them to feel stuck or dissatisfied in their daily lives. Whether these are familiar experiences or you are navigating different challenges, I hope to offer a warm and compassionate space that is centered around you.

I was a community organizer, dispute mediator, and social change agent in a previous career.
Is your life turning out the way you planned? Are your personal relationships fulfilling? Are you finding the right job for you? Do people get who you really are? Too often we lose track of the way we exist each day. Depression over past mistakes or anxiety about what might happen in the future prevent us from being who we want to be in the present. The goal of existential counseling is to help you develop a better relationship with your "self" first, and then to improve your relationships with others. To help you gain more confidence in the decisions you make daily and to worry less about how others will judge you in the future.

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.
