I can help with career assessment, decision-making, strategy, action planning, support, and problem-solving.
If you want to choose, change, or advance your career, I offer asynchronous career coaching. This type of coaching uses email, text, or a mutually agreeable software platform and is perfect for clients who want support without scheduled appointments. It works best for clients who enjoy reading/writing in the coaching process. This might be clients who are remote employees and already know they prefer asynchronous communication, very busy with scheduled meetings, affected by unpredictable schedules, traveling, introverted, or neurodivergent.

We'll find the patterns keeping you stuck, and using talk therapy and EMDR, we'll find new ways to handle difficulties in your life, your relationships, and your career.
I work with people who feel disconnected from themselves. For many reasons, you may have found ways to protect yourself from painful feelings or people who might hurt you. Often, these ways of protecting yourself led you to now feeling disconnected from yourself. I believe that your mental health struggles aren't pathological. What I see is ways you have adapted to survive difficulties in life that have in turn created challenges for you, like relationship issues, struggles with emotional intimacy, anxiety and panic attacks, career burnout, and/or using food or alcohol in ways that make you feel ashamed.

There is a season in everyone's journey when you need an objective listener to affirm your strengths and identify any self-defeating patterns preventing you from being your best self. Over the past 20 years, I have valued collaborating with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, women's issues, career struggles, spirituality, overcoming abuse, healing relationships, coping with chronic/acute medical conditions, preparing/coping for retirement, care-giving, and terminal illness. Grieving is a natural response to any significant loss. I see adults 23 yrs and up. No children, teens, or couples.

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.
