Career Counseling for Career Transitions and Job Uncertainty
Are you feeling unfulfilled or dissatisfied at your job?
The majority of U.S. workers report that work is one of the top stressors in their life. While this is where we spend the majority of our waking hours, it is all too common that it’s the biggest source of stress.
Whether you’re thinking of changing jobs or are striving to grow within your career field, I specialize in career counseling for professionals, graduate/professional degree students, and entrepreneurs to address common concerns including:
Overcoming fear of taking risks and making changes
Building better work habits
Increasing motivation and performance issues
Coping with cultural and social barriers in the workplace
You’re ready for change and you’re here because you would like some help making it happen.
Imagine…
Instead of feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and unmotivated, you feel confident and have energy to show up for yourself and others
Instead of criticizing yourself all of the time, you practice self-compassion and acceptance and are genuinely proud of your achievements
Instead of feeling directionless and a lack of focus, you have a sense of clarity, purpose and direction for what is meaningful to you
Instead of trying to make changes by yourself and feeling stuck, you have a roadmap for how to take action towards cultivating a personal life with close relationships and a fulfilling career
It all starts with you getting the support you need.

Changing Your Self Talk: Want to see real results? Change how you talk to yourself. We’re often our harshest critic and fall into a trap of negative self-talk. This will leave us unmotivated, with lower self-esteem and fear of trying new things. Switch your self-talk from criticism to self-compassion. In this blog post, I discuss the benefits of positive compassionate self talk and give examples of how to switch your self-talk.
