I truly enjoy working with people who come to therapy to explore and heal their relationships with their bodies and mind, and I collaboratively work with my clients to help them decide on goals and focus. I strive to be a guide in helping each person use their own knowledge, wisdom, and connection to find hope, meaning, healing and behavioral change. While the length of time people are in therapy varies greatly, I generally see people for shorter-term courses of therapy, in blocks of 12-16 sessions followed by a break to maximize behavioral change and encourage self-direction in the process, though many people decide to continue on.

Do you feel like you have to fight your own brain to get through the day? So many people feel like they’re a fish out of water, or like they didn’t get the manual to life that everyone else seems to have memorized. This can be really frustrating, and a really isolating experience. Many times navigating the emotions that come with this experience can add a whole other layer to that struggle, and nobody deserves to struggle with that alone. Having the skills to navigate anxiety, stress, and trauma can help people feel reconnected to those around them and help them build the life they always wanted.

We each have unique experiences, personal strengths and challenges that shape how we move throughout the world. Whether recognized or not by others, those of us who live them know the truth; our experiences as racial, sexual, gender or ethnic minorities impact many aspects of our existence. Similarly, individuals who live with seen and unseen disabilities, as well as personal trauma, utilize quiet resilience to cope with challenges that remain invisible to others. Sometimes practical problem -solving contributes to change. Other times, the realities of life cannot be altered, they must be walked through courageously and presently.

Immediate evenings and weekend availability! Most of us are looking for peace, wellness, and a connection to others and and at times in our lives those things can feel so far away. Whether it be a recent loss, move, health diagnosis or child’s behavior, these changes can make us feel overwhelmed and disconnected. Through our time together I am confident you will be able to identify ways to navigate these changes and feel better. The therapeutic relationship is important and I intend to co-create a space that is comfortable and judgment free so that growth can happen. We might paint together or drink tea while we meet.

Balancing a demanding career with personal and family life can be particularly challenging. You are more susceptible to mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression and substance abuse.

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.
