Career Counseling and Coaching in Riverbank, California.

A wise person once told me, "Find something you love to do and find someone to pay you to do it." But the reality is that many people find themselves in careers they don't enjoy or lose the career they did enjoy. Whether you are disatisfied with your career, dealing with work related stress, or wondering what you are going to do next, counseling can provide a framework for you to work through the dissonance in your work life and get on the path of meaningful fulfillment with regards to your work or career, regardless of what stage in your life you are at.

In today's complex job market, many individuals find themselves grappling with confusion, diminished confidence, and paralysis when facing career decisions or difficulty workplace dynamics. As a seasoned therapist, my approach to career counseling is both empathetic and innovative, recognizing the profound impact that work-related struggles can have on one's overall well-being. I employ creative solutions to help clients identify new opportunities in their professional lives, providing personalized support that goes beyond traditional methods. You will not only gain clarity and direction but also the confidence and resilience needed for professional fulfillment and balance.

Career Counseling is about change. Whether you are changing a career position, seeking a new field, or a student changing a major, the core of career counseling is preparation and the understanding of your goals and how they affect your life as a whole. In my practice, I do not use assessments or aptitude tests, as I believe the client is the best source of information. Together we will review your education, interests, work history and the reasons to make a change at this time in your life. Additionally, we will evaluate your level of risk taking, relationships and approaches to pursue a new career path. My style is comprehensive and tailored to you to help your reach your career goals.

One aspect of therapy that many people may not be aware of is "Solution Focused Therapy." This is the intersection of therapy and coaching. So, if you are looking to make a change in your life, improve your financial outlook, and grow in your career, you are in the right place! I have extensive experience working with young adults entering their career field for the first time, supporting small business owners navigate complexities, and supporting mid-career professionals with making change. Meeting your career aspirations requires a positive mood, motivation, energy, and confidence-- tools that you will learn in therapy with me. I will motivate and help you.

Are you fulfilling your purpose or are you not living into your potential? Do you wake up thinking "I was made for this" when it comes to career or do you struggle to get motivated for what lies ahead. Career satisfaction is highly correlated with life-satisfaction. Careers matter beyond how we generate an income. Learn to unblock where you are being held back. Learn the skills essential to make that next career move. Develop leadership skills to grow your company. Identify places you or your company need to make changes for your health and well-being or that of your employees. When we are happy and feel cared for at work, our productivity increases and so does our life satisfaction.

I help clients with addictive behaviours or substance use that is interfering with their ability to achieve a fulfilling career. Through collaborative conversations, clients gain a sense of purpose and direction, overcoming barriers to making meaningful progress in their professional life. Gaining a sense of control over one's life allows for increased confidence and self-esteem. I help clients build the motivation necessary to take steps toward a future filled with passion, thriving, and mental resilliance.
