Career Counseling and Coaching in Sandwich, Illinois.

We spend a lot of time at work - in fact, most of us spend more time at work than at home. Our happiness at work converts to happiness in about half of our lives! If your not happy at or with your work life, being happy anywhere else is going to be a struggle. Career counseling can help you: * Transition to a new career * Explore career types * Conflict resolution * Work place bullying * Sexual harassment * Loss of job * Difficulty finding a job. * Adults returning to school

Understanding ones qualities and personality is one key to developing a plan that will result in a satisfying career. Many times clients work to work instead of finding what makes them tick and what creates purpose and meaning in life. Clients settle far to often and become dissatisfied and begin to develope a negative self-concept, which leads to more dissatisfaction.

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.

In today's trying times, it is not uncommon to be faced with a job loss or even a career change. Today's job market can be frightening and challenging. Research shows that clients who successfully cope with career decisions may gain skill and confidence in the ability to tackle other problem areas in their life. They may invest more energy into resolving non-career problems because they have clarified career objectives. We will work together to find information on the aspect of developing a career and helping face and overcome concerns about seeking a new job or a new direction in life.
