Career Counseling and Coaching
“Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness,” Sigmund Freud is often quoted as having said. While relationships understandably receive a great deal of attention in therapy, questions about work and life direction are just as central to our sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Do you wake up energized by what you do?
Do you feel like the professional path you are on reflects your values and strengths?
Do you believe the trajectory of your career is leading somewhere you will look back on with pride and satisfaction?
For many introspective and capable people, the answer is not entirely clear.
Many of the clients I work with are capable professionals who have achieved a level of success but are questioning whether the path they’re on truly reflects the life they want to build. Some come to career counseling feeling stuck or burned out in a role that once seemed promising. Others are navigating a major transition — completing college or vocational school, considering a career pivot, stepping into leadership, or reevaluating priorities in midlife.
My Approach
Before becoming a therapist, I spent five years working in the technology industry in software sales and management roles. That experience gave me firsthand exposure to professional environments, hiring decisions, career advancement, and the pressures that come with demanding careers.
In addition to the psychological side of career decision-making, I bring practical insight into how professional environments actually function.
Almost all are asking a deeper question: Is the life I’m building the one I actually want?
Career and life direction work focuses on bringing clarity to these questions.
Together we often focus on:
• clarifying your strengths, interests, and long-term goals
• identifying sources of burnout or dissatisfaction
• evaluating potential career paths or transitions
• aligning professional decisions with your broader life values
• developing strategies to move forward with confidence
For some clients, this work is primarily about discernment and direction. For others, it also includes practical tools such as resume review, interview preparation, or job search strategy.
For clients seeking a structured, time-limited process, I offer a focused career discernment package:
