Things you will never hear in my office: "You shouldn't feel that way", "I've heard much worse", "What's in the past is in the past", "I'm sure your parents did the best they could". Whatever happened is not as important as how it affected you! Your life experiences will never be trivialized in the therapy space that we create together. Literally everything out of your mouth will be heard, and then validated! The things you don't want to talk about? I'll never push you to say things or go to areas that you are not ready to go to. When you are ready to confront something, you will do it because you feel ready to face it.

Talking with a therapist in a safe, open, and respectful environment can help you to obtain a better understanding about the issues in your life that may be causing you to feel anxious, depressed, or hopeless. Sometimes these feelings are caused by a recent event such as getting fired, loss of a significant relationship, or death of a loved one, and other times the feelings are on-going and have been around for a while. Regardless if your issues are acute or chronic, everyone can benefit from being heard and treated with compassion.

This has looked like: career counseling, college success planning, thoughts of suicide, etc.
Taking the first step in getting support is a big one, and you've decided now is the right time. There's something big going on in your life, and is too overwhelming to handle on your own or maybe you just want someone to talk to free of judgement. Having someone safe who listens and can provide perspective, encouragement, feedback and coping skills can really help. Making changes is not easy, but we can go at your own pace, where you lead the conversation and what you'd like to focus on. I'm here to offer support and walk with you on your journey to achieving your goals and jumping over the hurdles life throws your way.

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.
