As a pre-licensed clinician & mother of two little ones, I understand the challenges of juggling parenthood, relationships, & career. I have a passion for assisting others in their personal healing journey through the blended use of talk therapy, somatic experiencing (mind-body work) & skills building. My therapeutic approach relies, first, on developing a strong therapeutic alliance with the client, assessing your needs, & developing an intuitive treatment plan that helps you achieve your goals. I believe the inner work we do in therapy creates positive ripple effects into all essential areas of our lives.

Finding the right counselor can be a daunting task that can discourage individuals from seeking the help they need. We may not want to admit it, but sometimes, we need assistance in sorting out our thoughts and feelings. Life can get crazy. Work can get hectic. Juggling all of the responsibilities that life throws at us can be extremely difficult. That is where I can help.

Are you looking for a specialist in trauma, anxiety, relationships, and sex therapy? Maybe your partner is now just your roommate? Wonder why you have a racing heart and can't control the worry? What if you feel like your trauma is taking over your entire life? Rather isolate than continue to swipe right into empty relationships? Is your sexual "performance" preventing you from showing up in the bedroom? These are stories I hear often. Elevated worry, unprocessed trauma events, and sexual concerns can be overwhelming!

You find yourself relating a little “too” much to the new Taylor Swift album. You have always considered yourself the awkward friend. That is, if you even believe you have “true” friends. You have BIG feelings and have been reminded that you’re too emotional, too dramatic, or too much your entire life. You question everything you say to someone the second you leave the conversation. You find yourself overthinking even the smallest action, like how you greeted the individual in the drive-thru at Starbucks. You think to yourself, “oh my gosh, I can’t believe I said that, they probably think I’m SO weird.”

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.
