Career Direction, Work Satisfaction: You're stuck between expectations and reality.
You’ve been coping for a long time. You've met all their expectations. You push through stress that other people step away from... So, your mind rarely turns off. You tell yourself Ï’ll relax after the next deadline… the next decision… the next life stage. But the finish line keeps moving. You may notice: • overthinking conversations long after they’re over" • constant mental noise • irritability at home despite caring deeply about people • difficulty resting without guilt • pressure to always be “on” • a sense that life is being managed rather than lived. You want your brain to stop running emergency mode constantly. But how?

I work with adults who feel misaligned in their life or career and are looking for greater clarity about who they are and how they want to live.
In our work together, we slow down and look more closely at what’s underneath that feeling. We explore patterns, expectations, and internal narratives that may be keeping you stuck, and begin to create space for change that feels more aligned and intentional.

Waitlist for new clients
I am licensed in Kentucky & Indiana and specialize in working with couples, adult families and individuals. I'm trained in EFT and EMDR and am accepting new clients. I help clients overcome emotional distress and heal from affairs/infidelity betrayals so they can resolve conflict, heal wounds, and build strong bonds. Many people seeing me struggle to understand relational needs, de-escalate conflict, and create emotional safety. I often see the lightbulb moment for clients when they finally feel heard and understood by their partner, share vulnerabilities, and see the negative interactive pattern driven by unmet emotional needs.

Like characters from our favorite stories, we often get stuck when we encounter obstacles on the journey toward who/where we want to be. Perhaps you’re at a stuck point. Perhaps you’re dealing with shame, self-doubt, traumatic stress, grief, anxiety, emotional imbalance, unstable relationships, or an outlook that only seems to be hurting you. I have some good news: “stuckness” doesn’t have to be your destiny. Periods of “stuckness” may present as giants, but they are also opportunities for awareness, growth, & change. As your therapist, I want to help you navigate the obstacles impeding your journey, so you can move forward.

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.
