I have focused solely on career counseling my entire professional career, so you will receive expert assistance rather than help from someone perhaps dabbling in career counseling.
As a career counselor exclusively, I help people clarify career and education goals and also be more successful in the job search. Are you perhaps asking the lifelong question, "What Do I Want to Be When I Grow Up?" Whether you are in high school or about to retire, I can help you make choices to be happier and more successful. Or do you feel like your resume is getting lost in the black hole of the Internet? I can help you present yourself in the best possible light and use your time with the most successful search strategies.

I enjoy working with creative clients, people in job, work, and life transitions, anxiety and depression, relationship issues, and diverse sexual and gender identities.
Therapy offers a relationship in which we explore the impact of problems in life, and look for new ways to manage them. Sometimes we are stuck in a problem because of the ways in which our past experiences, relationships, traumas, and families have shaped our feelings, thoughts, and physiological reactions. Part of our work together involves creating space for new situations and understandings from which a new solution to a problem can evolve. While sometimes that work is brief, it can take a bit more time when we are looking at lifelong patterns, issues related to family, dynamics, and attachment, or different types of trauma.

If you’re feeling under-appreciated at work or home, unfulfilled in your career or life, or completely burnt out from juggling all the things, I’d love to partner with you.
When the alarm goes off in the morning, do you dread getting out of bed and going to work, school, or dealing with your family? Have you experienced workplace or home trauma due to ongoing harassment, gaslighting, or lack of support of psychological safety? Do you struggle with boundaries, balance or self-compassion? Do you feel like you’ve outgrown your role, lost your identity, or are constantly searching for purpose in your life? Do you question what’s next for you or your loved ones but have no one to talk to about your concerns? If so, then we should talk.

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.
