Just as I believe that the mind and body must be addressed together, so I believe that our career cannot be looked at in isolation. Our career is an expression of who we are and who we want to be. Our career needs to be viewed in conjunction with the other aspects of our lives.
I help clients in all phases of career. In Career Exploration we identify a rewarding career for you and plot the course to get you there. In the Job Search phase, I will guide you through the steps needed to help you obtain the desired job. Career Management is helping you, not only adjust to a new job and new responsibilities, but also helping you deal with potentially challenging coworkers or supervisors and in negotiating pay raises and compensation packages.
I believe that as your career counselor, I should be useful to you, not "right". I would be useful to you if I help you to understand your career story; your vocational personality and preferred work environments; prompt you to become more in control and confident about your future; help you to compose a success formula; and enable you to envision and explore possible selves and future scenarios. As a career counselor, I should help you author your life, not act as a fortune teller who makes predictions.
My typical client ranges in age from 20-70 years old. Their career paths have been in non-profit organizations, academia, government, trade associations, private contracting, service industries and many other areas.
