Career Counseling Therapists in San Antonio, TX

Feeling stuck in your career and want help creating a more meaningful career ? I've spent 10 years helping career explorers, job seekers, career changers, and discontented workers launch into more fulfilling careers. Wherever you are, I can help you move forward with more clarity and confidence. I use a highly individualized and pragmatic approach in guiding clients through making decisions, setting goals, and planning next steps towards reaching their full potential. I believe self-awareness and emotional honesty are central to creating full meaningful lives, so I prompt clients to explore their motives and inhibitions.

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.

Career counseling is my specialty, not a side-line area of counseling. As a licensed professional counselor, I can guide you to employ purposeful action to get your "dream job ". Additionally, I served as a top level executive within a large organization, having hired, interviewed and developed hundreds of employees. I know what it takes to get hired. I received leadership/organizational development training from some of the country's finest CEO's and HR professionals. I can work with you comprehensively, since I am highly trained in resume and cover letter writing, interview scripting, LinkedIn and job search techniques.

Most people end up at some point in their lives feeling angry, depressed, anxious, sad, lost, useless, directionless, etc.—feeling like a lot of things aren’t worth even the slightest effort. These are all natural feelings, until we dwell on them and find ourselves too buried and out of breath to even think about dealing with them. Once stifled, we may develop unhealthy patterns: we might isolate, doubt we are worth the soil we stand on, burn bridges, or obsess about things past, future, or out of our control. We need and deserve help. I am so glad you made your way here, recognizing you are worthy of this investment in yourself.
