Career Counseling and Coaching in Winthrop Harbor, Illinois.

My work background before becoming a professional counselor was in the Staffing Industry, where I worked for many years as a Recruiter and helped find job openings for staffing companies as a sales manager as well. I have 25 years of experience in recruiting and sales in the marketplace, and have substantial experience teaching people how to conduct a full-scale job search, interviewing techniques, and how to implement and execute well thought-out and planned career transition strategies. I can prepare excellent resumes, cover letters and teach you keys to landing that plum job you want by enacting strategies and techniques that only a handful of people use.

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.
