My approach is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that takes client goals and utilizes techniques to accomplish the desired objectives. It is a collaborative, reality-based method informed by mindfulness and life-coaching strategies. This is a holistic approach and can last for 12 sessions or longer based on client’s choice. I encourage and assign homework between sessions and am always open to new ideas that will assist in your growth. I hope to work myself out of a job by sharing treatments and tools that equip you to cope with the daily living of life.

I’m a therapist who works with women who want to reconnect with joy, meaning, and balance in their lives. Often different life phases such as job transitions, motherhood, divorce, menopause, or loss of a loved one can prompt us to re-evaluate which strategies and beliefs are serving us and which are not. For others, life may be moving forward, but anxiety, depression, or grief may be preventing us from fully connecting with the positives in our lives.

We all experience it at one time or another...that feeling of "being stuck". It could be in our career, our job, in college, our relationships, or our health. No matter if it's in one area of life or several, these difficulties can leave us with a loss of purpose, drive, and self-confidence, making us even less prepared to help ourselves get unstuck and move forward. As a licensed counselor for over 20 years, I have worked with hundreds of individuals and couples to support them in navigating their problem areas, finding their own solutions, and experiencing desired personal growth.

I believe it takes a village to raise a family, work, get a higher education; but for some of us, we don't have a village. We don't have support from the people in our lives that should be there to support us when we need it. This lack of support can make us feel isolated, misunderstood, stuck; and for those of us suffering from additional stressors such as mental health concerns, anxiety, depression, lack of work, grief, chronic illness, relationship problems, it can feel very lonely.

Do you feel lost? Do you sometimes stop, look around, and ask yourself, "How did I get here?" You are not alone. We were all born into a far from perfect world left to navigate our course with less than adequate directions. Perhaps you have faced particularly stormy weather in your journey, or perhaps you have just been overwhelmed by the sheer weight of life's complications. Forging ahead, you have experienced your share of successes and disappointments, but you have never felt that you were exactly on the right track.

Waitlist for new clients
Practice Full/Waitlist for October 2024: There are times in our lives when we just don't feel like ourselves anymore. We notice we're worrying more often, feeling more run down, or disconnected from the person we know we can be. Maybe these challenges crept up over time or perhaps they stemmed from a recent life event. I like to think of these challenges as our edges: places that might feel like a stopping point, but are really just a pause before we enter a new phase of growth. You are wise to reach out and know you can get better with the right support. I would be honored to help.

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.
