I’d love to help you create a life and career rooted in purpose, connection, joy, and community.
Over time, you’ve experienced stress or even trauma. Maybe you found comfort in school and work, but still fear failure, criticism, or not being enough. You’ve achieved many goals, including ones set by society without your consent, yet still you hold yourself to the standard that you must do it all. You want to better understand what’s holding you back, learn how to hold boundaries, and be free of harmful (often systemic) powers that burn you out, but where do you start? You deserve fulfilling relationships where you’re supported, meaningful and sustainable work, and a life aligned with your values. You don’t have to go it alone.

You need help! Are you an executive, leader, or high-achieving professional who has mastered functioning—but lost connection to yourself in the process? You meet deadlines, lead teams, manage households, and still show up—but underneath, you're running on empty. My clients excel at performing under pressure but struggle privately with burnout, decision fatigue, and emotional disconnection. They don't lack drive—they lack space to recalibrate. With 25+ years of experience, I help high-capacity professionals step out of autopilot, understand what's driving the disconnect, and realign how they lead, relate, and live.

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.
