Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over two decades of experience. I've worked extensively in private practice and university/college settings. My expertise lies in addressing career indecision, career anxiety, assisting women returning to the workforce after divorce or loss, managing career transitions, layoffs, and underemployment concerns. I also support clients facing toxic work environments, offering guidance to navigate these challenges. During uncertain times, having an objective counseling professional to assist can provide valuable reassurance in identifying and addressing pressing issues.

I keep getting interviews but I’m not getting the job. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. When I ask for feedback, I don’t get much of an answer. I need someone who can tell me how I’m coming across in the interview because I’ve gotten jobs in the past that weren’t a great fit. I also need to be more clear about what I want in a job. Instead of helping the employer understand what I motivates me and what I enjoy doing, I try to guess the type of employee they are seeking so that I will get the job. This may explain the reason I haven’t been very happy in my past roles.

I use several different approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, Narrative Therapy techniques, Solution Focused Brief Therapy techniques, as well as career counseling when needed.
Everyone needs someone in their life to help validate their feelings and experiences. We have a tendency to focus more on our physical body than of our thoughts. Sometimes we may feel depressed or anxious without knowing the reason. Sometimes everything can be perfect in your life yet you still feel this sadness. This is not uncommon and talking to a therapist can help. I use a holistic approach when working with my clients. I provide a safe space with acceptance of who you are. I help my clients create goals for themselves and then we work on accomplishing them together.

When you're operating from a place of meaning and purpose, the things you want most in life tend to start showing up, whether it's money, the right relationship, a great job.
Maybe you're wondering "Is this all there is?" Or perhaps you're feeling like you're living a version of groundhog day over and over and over and over again. No problem. My coaching practice is focused on helping my clients get unstuck and find meaning and purpose in their lives. After a few sessions, you become more mindful of the thoughts you're thinking and the choices you're making that you are keeping you from getting what you really want.
