What ever the case may be, I assist in examining your strengths and needs and provide guidance; so that you can make a career decision or improve your performance in your present career.

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.

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.
