Career Counseling and Coaching in Staten Island, New York.

Deciding on a career is scary and challenging. I provide a safe space for clients to find career path that resonates with them most and seek the best route to reach their goals. Usually if there are mental blocks along the way, we will work on self esteem, past trauma and negative thinking patterns so the client can make the best decision while learning about themselves.

I can help you sort out how to move forward.

Various internal conflict underlie career problems. Often counselors give advice to those who come to them for career counseling, but I stay away from advice. Giving clients advice only keeps them dependent on you. Instead, I focus on the underlying conflicts that are related to low self-esteem, fear of competing or an inability to assert themselves. Often women have their own kind of conflicts about being a woman in a man's world, and internal resentments hold them back. My approach is to focus on the conflicts of each client and help them resolve them and cope more effectively. The approach has proven over the years to be quite successful.

I help my clients learn how to manifest their hearts desire through their career. You can learn how to connect to your passions and what brings you joy in life.

I don't do formal career counseling, but enjoy counseling entrepreneurs, business men and women, and performing artists.

I have worked with many people who lost their jobs in the current economic downturn. I also have a specialty working with performing artists to help them find satisfying jobs that allow them to pursue their art, and work with them on stage fright, creative blocks, and balancing relationship/work.

Careers are integral to the identities of many people, while for others careers are simply means for attaining a happy life.

So making that work as good as it can be is vitally important to our health, sanity, and general well-being. Yet that, like so many things, can be easier said than done. I can help you explore your upbringing and education, your personal values, needs, and desires, along with ambitions and fears to help you find and succeed along a well-chosen professional path.

In my approach to career counseling, I focus on the mental health aspects of professional growth, helping clients gain clarity about their goals, strengths, and passions.

Together, we explore career options, skill development, and strategies to overcome emotional or mental challenges that may hinder professional success. Clients benefit by gaining confidence, creating actionable plans, and aligning their career paths with their personal values and long-term aspirations.

I help clients clarify their needs rather than needs sculpted through years of compliance with a partner or spouse.

Career counseling is similar to other types of counseling.

A career is often a major part of one's life, and finding a disconnect between what you do and your values or interests can be destabilizing and painful.

All are unique and important components that need to be considered when determining a job switch or addition. It's a big life change and emotional support in therapy throughout the change is incredibly important as well.

I see careers as extensions of who we are as people. If you are trying to decide whether it’s time to make a change, or need guidance on better determining your next career steps, I offer support and provide a safe place for you to do that. I love helping clients evaluate their interests, skills, and abilities, and then walking through the development of realistic goals. Please note that I do not provide specific aptitude tests or achievement assessments.

When i work with adolescents I offer career counseling to aid in their areas of study. There are various inventories that i can administer which indicate occupations most suited for your child's personality and aptitudes. Some show which professions attract people most like your child. Some show areas of competence in your child that will be valued in certain professions.

Adolescents is a time to set goals for the future. As a middle and high school counselor, I have taught college and career lessons, led parent informational nights, facilitated family meetings, and provided one-on-one counseling. As your teen's therapist, I will help them to identify their strengths, skills, and interests. From there, we will explore careers and possible majors or paths to that career. Once that is known, we will research the programs or colleges that will get your teen where they want to be. The process can be stressful, but also exciting! I will be there every step of the way. Together, we can help your teen achieve their post-secondary goals!
