Career Counseling and Coaching in Carrollton, Illinois.

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive-- then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." (Howard Thurman) I enjoy helping my clients take "what makes them come alive"--their passions and dreams--and aligning them with their professional pursuits. Through evocative resume re-design, dynamic networking strategies and interview & negotiation coaching, my clients often enjoy earning their first paychecks sooner rather than later…and doing what they really love!

It is hard feeling like you are stuck in a career or like you do not know what to do career-wise. Sometimes, imposter syndrome gets the best of us and thus leads us to self-sabotage. Then, we find ourselves experiencing missed opportunities, regret, angst, and pain. We often ask challenging questions in therapy, so that you can explore and determine whether you want to stay, leave, or grow where you are at (or somewhere else). We explore your potential together and imagine what a healthier situation may look like to you.

My psychotherapy approach extends seamlessly to career counseling, providing a supportive, non-judgmental space for exploring professional goals and challenges. I integrate cognitive-behavioral techniques to address limiting beliefs and fears, fostering confidence and clarity in career decision-making. Mindfulness practices enhance self-awareness and resilience amidst career transitions or uncertainties. Through collaborative exploration, clients develop actionable strategies to pursue fulfilling career paths aligned with their values and aspirations, empowering them to thrive professionally and personally.
