Dealing with emotional pain and stress is difficult and therapy helps people learn new ways to overcome the feeling of being stuck and empowers them to move forward with their lives. Common symptoms people experience are anxiety and depression and it can be inhibitory to a person's life, leading to negative feelings. I collaborate treatment with clients dealing with emotional and physical issues that can lead to positive life changes and a more fulfilled well being.

As a spiritual being who has embarked on a journey of deep healing, I realize that healing is not linear. It is a process that allows us to go inward and hug our inner child, navigate our unconscious, and acknowledge our shadow. Through my professional work in a hospital-based setting, I have seen the effects of developmental and generational trauma. I have worked with sexual abuse survivors, and individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Life is a journey, and from time to time, we all face challenges that we would benefit from discussing with a thoughtful and compassionate listener. I am such a person, plus I own this practice. While I believe therapy is a collaborative enterprise, I also believe when successful, therapy requires an active and experienced guide. I enjoy working with clients struggling with a variety of personal, family, and mental health issues. I have more than 20 years experience working as a therapist. My therapy orientation is eclectic though my foundation is psychodynamic and strengths based.

"Here we go again."...having the same fight we've had a hundred times before. The subject may change, but the flavor... the feeling... is always the same. Our downward spiral. Our bad deal. But if we could learn to break the pattern... to interrupt the downward spiral... well that would be something, wouldn't it. So that's where we'll start. This is not a "traditional couples therapy" approach. It's skills-based, educational and results-oriented. When the roof is broken, you find a hammer and nails and you fix it. When your relationship is broken, this is your hammer and nails.

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.
