You will be offered a safe and respectful environment in which to share your unique experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) will help you change your thoughts, change your life! This is absolutely true, yet sometimes you might experience trying to think yourself into feeling better and it's simply not working. Your life looks complete, or almost, but you can't feel it. You are frustrated that your thoughts and feelings are not in agreement. At a thinking level, you know you didn't cause what happened, yet still feel like it's your fault and this keeps you stuck.

I provide a non-judgmental approach that is grounded in up-to-date research and knowledge on psychopathology, personality, career and relationships.
I believe that we are a spirit, living in a body, with a soul. These are separate but connected, and it is important to distinguish which area of ourselves is contributing to the problem we are facing. Many of our issues are a soul (mind) problem, which is the realm therapy works with. With me, you will receive the fresh eyes of a trained professional to provide the feedback and tools you need to address your soul. Research shows that once-a-week therapy is well worth the investment for a set-aside time to evaluate our life choices. I can help you get to where you want to be without taking the long road.

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.
