Build a life that works for you

Career counseling is a therapy-based service that helps you better understand yourself, your work patterns, and what’s getting in the way of building a career that fits. It can support you in navigating burnout, toxic work environments, self-doubt, stress, big life transitions, and the emotional impact of job loss or career change.

This work is especially helpful if your relationship with work has started affecting your mental health, your sense of self, or your day-to-day life.

Career counseling and career coaching can overlap, but they are not the same.

Career counseling is therapy. It makes space for both the practical and emotional sides of work-related stress and career change. In career counseling, we might explore burnout, anxiety, people-pleasing, confidence, nervous system overwhelm, toxic workplace experiences, or patterns that keep you stuck.

Career coaching is more focused on strategy, goals, and forward movement. Coaching may be a better fit if you’re ready to take action and want support with things like decision-making, accountability, job search strategy, interviews, leadership growth, or career planning.

If you’re not sure which one fits best, that’s okay. We can talk through it together.

Career counseling may be the better fit if:

• Work has been affecting your mental health

• You feel burned out, overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck

• You’re trying to recover from a toxic work experience, layoff, or major transition

• You want to understand your patterns, needs, and capacity more deeply

Career coaching may be the better fit if:

• You want support making a plan and following through

• You’re focused on clear professional goals

• You want help with job search, interviews, leadership, or career advancement

• You’re looking for accountability and strategy more than therapy

Yes. I specialize in supporting ADHD and autistic clients in creating a way of working and living that actually fits them.

That means we’re not just asking, “What job should you do?” We’re also looking at how you function best, what kinds of systems support you, what drains you, and how to build a career path that feels more sustainable in real life.

Not at all.

A lot of my clients come in knowing what isn’t working, but not yet knowing what would fit better. That’s normal. Our work can help you get clearer on your strengths, values, needs, and next steps without forcing a rushed answer.

Yes. In fact, that’s often when this work is most helpful.

Sometimes the goal is not just to find the next job. Sometimes it’s to rebuild confidence, make sense of what happened, recover from chronic stress, and figure out how to move forward in a way that doesn’t repeat the same pattern.

Yes — though I’d say it a little differently.

I help clients build a more sustainable relationship with work, time, energy, and capacity. That can include boundaries, calendar systems, prioritization, decision-making, and rethinking the expectations that have been running the show.

You are not alone.

Many of my clients are smart, capable, and used to figuring things out. But a promotion, new child, layoff, diagnosis, or other major life change can push old coping strategies past their limit. This work helps you stop blaming yourself and start building a better fit.

The first step is to reach out for a consultation. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what kind of support you’re looking for, and whether career counseling or career coaching makes the most sense for you.
