Career Counseling

I focus on helping high achievers like you tap into your true potential. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by pressure, perfectionism, or self-doubt, know that you’re not alone. We’ll work through issues like imposter syndrome, anxiety, and setting boundaries so you can step out of the cycle of endless striving. With personalized career counseling and executive coaching, I’ll support you in finding a healthier work-life balance and lasting fulfillment.

As we navigate life, we naturally evolve and occasionally outgrow various phases. I've had the privilege of working with numerous women transitioning in their careers, helping them boost their confidence, overcome impostor syndrome, and dismantle any narratives that may be preventing them from leading fulfilling lives.

Career-related therapy/counseling focuses on gaining insight into your underlying thoughts and emotions around your career, figuring out what role you want your career to play in your life, exploring what matters to you in your career and why, and understanding how you might approach your career trajectory going forward in a way that is more psychologically healthy for you. I also have experience helping people cope better with unemployment.

I have extensive experience supporting people in High-Tech fields (e.g., software engineering, systems administration) work through career stress, anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, and job transitions.

Career coaching is a personalized process that helps you identify and achieve your professional goals. My practice includes serving early, mid, and late career contributors. Together, we identify and leverage your strengths and overcome your challenges. I have developed a specialized approach to goal-setting, skills assessments, and action planning so that we can create a path to succesful growth.

Very often people feel stuck in their work OR feel like their career has not even started. Being in a job that is a poor fit can be frustrating & even lead to depression or anxiety. This can go on to impact our personal life & relationships. Further, the rapid advancement in technology is creating new opportunities, but can seem overwhelming to know where to start. Lets put our heads together to see what is possible for you.

When facing changes, one of the questions we often confront is who am I and what do I want to do with this short life? We may call it "career counseling" but the ways we choose to spend our days is a crucial choice, with many important limitations and consequences. Together, we can work to identify your values, who you are, and what kind of life you would like to authentically choose for yourself.

Career counseling is a process that assists individuals in making informed career decisions, guiding them to discover and understand their skills, interests, and values. It explores potential career paths and facilitates goal setting. This therapy supports dealing with work-related stress, career transitions, and striking a balance between work and personal life.

As an anxiety & depression specialist, I see how often these are caused by uncertainty about one's career path. Through coaching and hands-on, validated psychological assessments, I will help you find the career that helps you achieve the ideal trinity: 1. utilizes your strengths, skills, and passions; 2. helps others, from providing a direct service to producing art for others to enjoy; and 3. fulfills you, both emotionally (which prevents burnout!) & financially.

Change can be overwhelming and frightening, especially with our careers. Focusing on our strengths and passions can help guide us to make the correct career choices.

Finding a job that suits your needs, your purpose, and your values can be super hard. Especially if you're not sure if you're in the wrong job OR if you're not managing it properly.
