Career counseling assists people in finding the right career path for them. It includes discovering skills, honing in on specific interests and aptitudes, and researching meaningful ways for people to do the work that suits them best. If someone questions their career or work choices, a career counselor will administer tests, including inventories about personality, skills, and strengths. The therapist will then educate the client about career fields, industries, or companies that have jobs that align. They can then work with the person to develop specific skills for that job, such as effective communication, interpersonal skills, and time management.

I help people recovering from traumatic experiences in relationships and I offer guidance and practical skills to take home.

Fear, shame, and anger do not have to be your normal, no matter what you have been through. You don't have to accept behaviors that are making you depressed, anxious, and lonely. Misery, shutting down and self-sabotage behaviors don't have to be your response to overwhelming problems. You can and will overcome this. Even if your circumstances cannot change much right now, you can suffer less, a...
