I spent the first 20 years of my career as an attorney, consultant, and corporate executive.
If relationships are your challenge, my legal background helps me approach conflict with clarity, balance, and nuance. I understand that there are always multiple sides to every story. I support individuals and couples navigating complex issues—like breaches of trust, infidelity, and divorce—with empathy, honesty, and non-judgement.

I keep getting interviews but I’m not getting the job.
This time, I would like to be more intentional by having someone help me consciously identify what I’m “selling” in the interview and to be more aware of my skills and abilities. There are some problems that I’ve solved in the past that I thought were easy to solve and my manager was very complimentary about how I handled them.

I work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, transitions, career angst, to name a few.
High-performing on paper, yet running on empty? I help men and women—often professionals of faith—reduce anxiety, find meaning from life transitions, and regain a steady sense of purpose. My clients tell me they’re tired of “pushing through” and ready for honest support that actually, well, supports. I work with adults in their later 20s through 50 who are capable, self-aware, and often the ones others lean on, but who’ve reached a point for their own self-care. I’m here to help you sort through the overwhelm, reconnect with yourself, and start living a life aligned with what's most important to you, besides your work.

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.
