Career Counseling and Coaching in Madison, Michigan.

As a former animal control officer and shelter worker, I understand the emotional, mental, and physical toll that working with animals can take. Compassion fatigue is common among shelter staff and volunteers, rescue workers, veterinarians, and others who work in the animal welfare field. Having been on the front lines myself, I can identify with your struggles and can help you learn healthy coping skills and effective self-care strategies to improve your compassion satisfaction and prevent burnout.

My goal is to develop a therapeutic partnership with clients that builds on a strengths-based relationship, helping to restore the connection between the body and mind in order to have a more balanced life, and strength the tools and skills needed to reach and actualize higher potentionals. I provide a variety of helping services and treatment modalities to help clients move forward in life.

While most career counselors love to give you capacity based profiles of what your talents and interests are for your best bet career choices, Grey Matters international believes that most people make predictably irrational decisions and then after making them learn way to make them fit into their identities using various types of rationalizations and strategies. We are able to assist folks in career counseling type settings by giving a deeper look at their decision making profile so they can better understand where the core frustration or desire is coming from in the world of work.
