I'm here to offer fresh perspective, clarity, & hope. Most of our energy is spent balancing expectations and reacting to the wants/needs of others. We all come to counseling with a unique experience, but most of us rarely take the time and energy to figure out our own needs, mentally & emotionally. Counseling is a powerful tool to help you 'level up' and a way to create space for peace and calm in our busy lives. It gives you an impartial person to talk to without judgement. I want to help you reach your goals, and to bring insight and healing where you feel overwhelmed, or have had trauma, chaos, or confusion.

How many times have you wanted to just quit everything? Maybe you're burnt out, profoundly anxious, or crumbling under the pressure you've put on your shoulders. Maybe you felt like things weren't working for a while, but you told yourself to hold out a little longer in case it all changes. Or maybe you've been piling on promises and now there's too much going on to even know where to begin. And perhaps you've heard more than once in your life that you "really need to chill." If that sounds like you, I'm glad you're here.

Trauma and stress are not distributed fairly among us, but they are a part of life we all have to learn to navigate. While I can't say treatment of trauma - or any successful therapy - is fun, easy, or quick, if you are looking at Psychology Today profiles you are likely considering getting support and making some changes. That is an excellent first step! If you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships, feeling lost, burned out at work, or having difficulty understanding or moving past things that have happened in life, I hope you will consider therapy as an option to help move forward. Even short-term work may help.

Extended periods of stress and anxiety can drain our vitality, rendering life dull and less lively, potentially leading to depression. In my practice, I collaborate with clients to illuminate the numerous ways entrenched habits can ensnare and confine us. I adopt an integrative method to assist clients in disrupting the patterns of worry, rumination, and overthinking that frequently leave us feeling helpless and immobilized. Through therapy, clients transition from navigating life on "auto pilot" to revitalizing and reclaiming a profound consciousness of self, purpose, and close relationships.

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.
