Career Counseling and Coaching in Plano, Texas.

When our career does not match up with our interests or our calling it often leads to frustration and anxiety. The counseling process will help you begin to unravel the elements necessary to choose a future that will better serve you. Passion in life can be expressed many ways but until we get in touch with what is important to us, we will not be able to tap into it at work or in other parts of our life. To move in a satisfying path, you have to learn who you are and who you are called to be. In this job or another. The counseling process will help you begin this journey with a guide.

Are you a high-achieving man looking for career guidance? Executive coaching has its place, but I provide something different. I don’t give you advice, give you homework, or try to motivate you. Instead, like an emotional surgeon, I use research-proven EMDR therapy to uncover the emotional barriers and insecurities that hold you back and heal them at their source. If you’re a hard-working man on the verge of greatness, this can be the step necessary for personal and professional breakthrough.

Are you fulfilling your purpose or are you not living into your potential? Do you wake up thinking "I was made for this" when it comes to career or do you struggle to get motivated for what lies ahead. Career satisfaction is highly correlated with life-satisfaction. Careers matter beyond how we generate an income. Learn to unblock where you are being held back. Learn the skills essential to make that next career move. Develop leadership skills to grow your company. Identify places you or your company need to make changes for your health and well-being or that of your employees. When we are happy and feel cared for at work, our productivity increases and so does our life satisfaction.

In my approach to career counseling, the focus is on a comprehensive exploration of the factors shaping your career development. I assist in assessing your interests, abilities, and values to provide a clear understanding of your professional identity.

Particularly, when experiencing burnout, I work collaboratively to navigate the challenges and strategize on revitalizing your career. Together, we determine actionable next steps and formulate a personalized plan to achieve your goals.
