Career Counseling

As an anxiety & depression specialist, I see how often these are caused by uncertainty about one's career path. Through coaching and hands-on, validated psychological assessments, I will help you find the career that helps you achieve the ideal trinity: 1. utilizes your strengths, skills, and passions; 2. helps others, from providing a direct service to producing art for others to enjoy; and 3. fulfills you, both emotionally (which prevents burnout!) & financially.

I have been working with fellow Fountain House club members for 5 years now with career advice, mainly centering around the peer specialist training platform known as The Academy of Peer Service, in preparation for state peer certification. I'm currently working with the CNY Coalition in the creation of the Peer Exchange and the PE internship program for all New York City clubhouses. I serve as a peer professional development consultant for various organizations and agencies.

Is your job getting you down? Are you feeling burned out, and not sure how to turn it around? Maybe at this point you can't even remember why you accepted the job in the first place. Or perhaps you're an entrepreneur and can't seem to create the work-life balance you'd thought you would have achieved by now. You've noticed that getting through the week is getting harder and harder, and the coping strategies that used to work just aren't cutting it anymore. No worries - I can help!

Finding a job that suits your needs, your purpose, and your values can be super hard. Especially if you're not sure if you're in the wrong job OR if you're not managing it properly.

Let's talk about how you can maximize your strengths, manage your day, and succeed at work.

Career-related therapy/counseling focuses on gaining insight into your underlying thoughts and emotions around your career, figuring out what role you want your career to play in your life, exploring what matters to you in your career and why, and understanding how you might approach your career trajectory going forward in a way that is more psychologically healthy for you. I also have experience helping people cope better with unemployment.

Career counseling is a process that assists individuals in making informed career decisions, guiding them to discover and understand their skills, interests, and values. It explores potential career paths and facilitates goal setting. This therapy supports dealing with work-related stress, career transitions, and striking a balance between work and personal life.

I became a therapist later in life, so I have worked in a variety of jobs and industries. One was working at YMCA, where I taught college exploration. At another job, I helped students find scholarships and write college essays. As a DV counselor, I have helped people explore what comes next in their lives, which is often a career change. It can be emotionally beneficial to have a career that brings joy and independence, and there are numerous resources to help people find what that is for them.

Careers or potential careers can contribute towards a wide range of symptoms, especially certain working environments that can predispose an individual to higher levels of stress than usual. I served many different populations in search of treatment, with careers being one of the most significant variables that can trigger symptoms of stress, anxiety, and even depression.

(A large majority of my caseload commonly works through career issues and life transitions).

I help individuals find things they are passionate about and explore ways to monetize that passion. Maybe you need a career change or want to add a side hustle, this focus area is where to start.

Career coaching is a personalized process that helps you identify and achieve your professional goals. My practice includes serving early, mid, and late career contributors. Together, we identify and leverage your strengths and overcome your challenges. I have developed a specialized approach to goal-setting, skills assessments, and action planning so that we can create a path to succesful growth.

I combine focused study of workplace issues with experience from a lifetime of corporate work. I have a passion for helping people navigate career transitions from starting out, to starting again, to retirement's second act. We might explore what changes feel right, even if they feel scary, or how to believe in yourself and find meaning and balance between work and life.

The career counseling I offer is a bit different than helping you determine your life's calling, next career move, or navigating a job search. While I'm qualified in those areas, I specializing in helping others work through how anxiety, self-esteem, confidence, burnout, and people-pleasing are impacting their career performance. I enjoy helping others feel more secure and in control of their job and professional identity by tackling these issues within the specific context of their career.

This is an area close to my heart. Before becoming a psychologist, I worked as a vocational evaluator and supported employment specialist. I help clients explore transitions after disability, injury, military service, or into college and adult life. I support clients in identifying interests, values, and abilities. My practice also offers vocational and neuropsychovocational evaluations, with in-office referral to Texas Workforce employment specialists when appropriate.
