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.

You will give thousands of hours, and immeasurable effort to your career. Shouldn’t you find at least some amount of fulfillment in this large part of your life?

Career counseling will help you discover your strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies so you can work to pursue a career you are likely to be happy in. I also offer Professional Coaching if you want to stay in your current field and need help finding ways to reduce stress, maximize your potential, or move up the ladder.

In American society, our careers help define us. And finding purpose in our careers gives us a sense of worth. As a therapist I see that although a career may pay our expenses it should not define us. It should, however, offer some benefit in either our personal development or fulfillment. I work with my clients to find ways to identify what is useful and discuss where these skills could be applied.

Let's figure out your purpose in life - not just your job. I love to help people figure out what gets them "in the zone" where they love what they are doing. Sometimes life gets in the way of figuring out your real talents and skills. We may originally take a job for money, and then one day realize that your are not happy. That's when we can figure out what your unique talent and skills are. Life is not meant to be just tolerated: let's figure out what you love to do!

I’ve often helped my clients through difficult transitions, including changes in career.
