Career Counseling and Coaching in Richmond, Texas.

Whether you are entering the workforce for the first time, unemployed and looking for work, in between jobs, thinking of switching careers, or somewhere in-between, career counseling may work for you. As your counselor, you can expect career counseling to involve exploring job interests and strengths, learning to navigate employment databases, writing and revising your resume, practicing interview skills, and more.

Life transitions are one of my specialties and career related issues tend to be one of the main components linked to major life transitions. Whether you are feeling stuck in your current career or you are looking to explore career options to improve your future I can help you in your journey. I will provide guidance, support, and encouragement for clients to explore and identify what you really want in regards to pursuing and or changing career path.

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.

Careers are integral to the identities of many people, while for others careers are simply means for attaining a happy life. Whether you’re developing your first career or looking to switch careers, I use a combination of assessment batteries and counseling to explore my clients’ goals, preferences, and aptitudes to identify their career path and develop a plan for achieving it.

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. If you’re a highly successful man who's already conquered your professional goals, this process can help you recalibrate your priorities, strengthen your relationships, and leave a lasting legacy.
