Does any of this sound familiar? You’re feeling stuck in your professional development, and feel overwhelmed, anxious and stressed by not being able to reach your full potential greatness and leave a legacy. You wonder how you’re going to take your career to the next level and pay for the things your family wants (and needs), and feel like you’re grinding hard but not getting anywhere. You’re secretly a little nervous about the future, and are unsure if you have control over the outcome and direction of your career in achieving your goals. There's times you wish you had someone to talk to about your stress, dreams, goals, etc.

Do you wake every morning with an overwhelming sense of anxiety or depression, but desire greater peace and freedom in your life? Are you struggling to overcome negative thoughts and emotions regarding a traumatic event? No one wants to live day to day in emotional pain. Some people do not express their pain because they do not want to make others aware of their struggle. Others may be open to sharing their struggle but are still unsure of how to make the pain go away.

In all of my years of experience in working with people, I have found that what people most want and need is a safe space to be heard, supported, and understood. It's within that place that people begin to heal. My passion is in helping people find healing at the root cause of their pain. We all have painful experiences. When we can address those areas of pain (which often get reinforced time and time again), we can actually overcome the things that make us feel stuck.

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.
