It can be difficult to reach out for help and even more difficult to admit that you could use some guidance. When you are struggling, having someone in your corner to help you overcome the hurdles in your journey can be helpful. I take a holistic approach, focusing on the symptoms you identify and how they affect you in all areas of your life. We will work as a team to figure out the root cause and find the healthiest ways to cope. The treatment plan will be individualized to YOU, as no two people are exactly the same. Much of our work together will focus on how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact with one another.

You may look “fine” on the outside, but inside your nervous system feels like it is always on duty. You might be carrying trauma from sexual abuse, feeling anxious, numb, on edge, or stuck in patterns you cannot explain. Maybe sleep is light, your patience is thin, and your mind will not shut off. You may be navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or grief after loss, or trying to support a partner while you are falling apart too. You want relief, steadiness, and practical tools, plus a safe place to rebuild boundaries, self-trust, and a life that feels like yours again.

The process of asking for help can be truly challenging. Sometimes it’s difficult asking a simple request, and even more difficult to ask someone to listen to you when you’re stressed, scared, angry, or sad. Therapy can be a step in improving relationships with yourself, and to help you know your feelings and experiences are valid. A lot of life is adapting to our environments, often to keep ourselves safe, but sometimes those learned behaviors have long-term effects on our ability to understand our needs and others.

Many clients come to therapy feeling exhausted from trying to hold everything together on their own or feeling misunderstood in past relationships or therapeutic experiences. I work best with individuals who feel emotions deeply and want to better understand and manage their internal experiences rather than avoid them. If you are insightful and self-aware, but still find yourself repeating patterns you wish you could change, we can work together to get out of emotional cycles, build fulfilling connections with others, and develop a strong sense of self.

You have been "in therapy" more than once, and still struggle with the same feelings of inadequacy, shame, anxiety, depression, or just not feeling a sense of purpose. You know that there is something you are not getting to, that there is more to your life than you presently experience. Your relationships are affected, as well as your ability to feel joy and peace. The truth is that you have been conditioned in countless ways to feel not good enough, and you have adapted to make those feelings go away. But they don't. I want you to know that there is something you can do about it. There is a better way.

You’re intelligent, highly sensitive, and deeply reflective—often the one others rely on. You may appear “fine,” yet feel disconnected inside, carrying anxiety, hypervigilance, burnout, or old trauma patterns that keep repeating. You want more than coping skills; you want deep nervous-system healing and lasting change. You’re ready to look inward with honesty (not defensiveness), release what isn’t you, and become fully yourself—grounded, connected, and alive in your work, relationships, and body.

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.
