Announcement icon Following CDC guidelines, I am providing counseling sessions via Zoom for the foreseeable future, and accepting fee payments through Venmo.
As a Clinical Career Counselor I will guide you in a deeper exploration of professional goals and career identity. We will work collaboratively to assess your strengths, internal barriers, values, work style and development needs in order to formulate a personal definition of success and map out viable strategies for actualizing your goals. I provide a framework to facilitate career decision-making, advancement and change through supportive, solution-focused counseling and assessment. To smooth your career transition, I also offer assistance in resume and cover letter writing, Linked-In profile development, job search management, interview preparation and negotiating/evaluating job offers.
I have been providing career counseling to a diverse population of adults since 1986. Prior to establishing my practice, I was Career Counseling Director for one of the largest human service agencies in the US. In addition, I coordinated a post-master's training program for career counselors at Queens College.
I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and graduate of The National Institute for the Psychotherapies' program, Psychodynamic Approaches in Clinical Practice. I currently serve on the Executive Board and Program Planning Committee of the Career Development Specialists Network of New York City.

Debra is one of the most astute and professional career counselors I know. She is adept at leveraging her deep clinical skills to help professionals get unstuck. If you receive counseling from Debra, you can guarantee that you are receiving the most valuable insights into your behavior, that can only benefit you and your career in the long term. I'm very grateful for all I have learned, and continue to learn from her.
