Are you the go-to person at work, at home, and with friends? You might even feel resentful sometimes - you do so much for others, but you're not getting that same care back from them. And that only makes you feel "selfish" and more guilty! Helping people break free from overworking & resentment is my passion. Many of my clients are people who are dealing with difficult bosses - or partners, friends, or family members living with alcoholism/substance use disorders, mental health concerns, and chronic health issues. You don't have to handle this alone, and you can feel more empowered, connected, and at peace in your life.

Career Counseling and Career Coaching can assist you to experience joy and balance.

Friends and family praise your accomplishments, and you think to yourself “if only they knew what it takes”. If this feels like you, know that you are not alone. With the innumerable stressors we face living and working in today's world it is only a matter of time before even the most resilient, accomplished individuals realize that they need some extra help.
