Career Counseling and Coaching in Spring Valley Lake, 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.

Making career changes and decisions, can be stressful and complicated. I will assist you in evaluating your decision and be there to support you through the change. Not only is it an adjustment for you, but for your family as well. Together we will process the career change and ensure you are making the best decision for yourself. Let's get started!

Unemployment is high and few are satisfied at work, so finding a counselor to help a person discover their potential and find fulfillment in a career choice is essential if a person wants to experience true success. For those unemployed, career counseling may involve helping a person with interviewing techniques, resume formation, and communication skills. For a person experiencing difficulty at work, counseling may include boundary implementation, interpersonal interaction, and conflict resolution. Finding a fulfilling position is not easy, but with counseling the benefits of finding the right career choice can be realized.

I support individual clients experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, and mental and emotional exhaustion. I often work with Highly Sensitive People, or empaths, who are more susceptible to these experiences. I support those in helping professions like teachers, therapists, parents, medical professionals, and difficult work environments create their boundaries in their workspace for personal well-being.

If you're unhappy in your job/career, life can quickly lose meaning and become a drudgery. Counseling can help you identify professional strengths and point you in the right direction. You will learn to rule out the "bad fits" and learn ways to pursue the most appropriate career path for you based on your personality, what lends meaningful purpose to your life and what allows you to make your personal life a priority. Through insight oriented therapy and directive counseling, I can help you learn to run your career and stop your career from running you!

While most career counselors love to give you capacity based profiles of what your talents and interests are for your best bet career choices, Grey Matters international believes that most people make predictably irrational decisions and then after making them learn way to make them fit into their identities using various types of rationalizations and strategies. We are able to assist folks in career counseling type settings by giving a deeper look at their decision making profile so they can better understand where the core frustration or desire is coming from in the world of work.

A career takes up so much of someone's life. To be in a career that feels like a poor fit is to suffer for much of life. I aim to help patients talk honestly, to find the source of their suffering and glimmers of joy. By talking honestly and exploring your real self, we can find the right path to a fulfilling life and a career that feels like the rightful place for you.

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.

Who benefits from career counselling? You might be a student looking for direction or a person considering a career change. You may also be looking to delve deep and assess your talents, skills, interests, personality or learning style. Learning more about who you are and how you want to spend the next decades of your life are all considerations in career counselling. Assessment tools can be very helpful in making informed career choices and developing a personalized career path but are best utilized along with an experienced counsellor. Psychotherapeutic tools such as EFT and Mindfulness Based approaches can provide depths of understanding one's self.
