Professional Growth Counseling
As a busy professional, you're spinning plates and herding cats with endless to-do lists and what-ifs running through your head. You are often worn out, fed up, bored, quick tempered, numb, cynical, demoralized, and dreaming of escaping your life. It feels like Groundhog Day; wake, work, try to sleep, repeat. You give pieces of yourself to everyone around you and you’re wondering if there’s anything left for you. You’ve forgotten what you are working so hard for and wondering if it is worth it.
I get it. I’ve been there.
Early in my first career I worked long hours in a deadline driven, demanding industry. Once, when I was 8 months pregnant, I worked 20 hours straight from 8 am to 4:30 am, the next day. I remember thinking to myself, “I can’t wait for this baby to arrive… so I can take time off from work!” All of this effort and I was still passed over for a promotion.
Find Greater Fulfillment in Your Work
I understand your struggles. You long for greater meaning and a sense of fulfillment in your work. You want to feel well rested, energized, calm, clear-headed, creative and empowered. You want to feel successful at work and at home.
Maybe you’re in a new role and feel like an imposter, or you’re disillusioned and considering a new career path. You might be facing serious challenges in your personal life and don’t know how you can manage them and your job. Let’s talk.

Who is Professional Growth Counseling For?
Making the most of my 20+ years working in the corporate world, I specialize in helping professionals who are facing challenges in their work and personal lives. I understand the unique struggles of professionals navigating job transitions, managing difficult staff/bosses, organizational restructurings, asking for what you’re worth, etc., all while trying to have a functioning personal life. I also know that many professionals are struggling with high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and burnout.
Combining techniques from therapy with coaching and mentoring, we get to the root of issues to create lasting change towards greater fulfillment and overall happiness.
Working together, we’ll identify the stressors in your life and areas for improvement. I believe in focusing on our strengths and building on them, only addressing weaknesses if they getting in the way to your goals. We’ll discuss what work/life balance really means and define what “success” looks like for you. We’ll explore your mindset too, discovering the stories you tell yourself and rewrite the script, helping you move forward with power and integrity. We can also address topics like:
- Having difficult conversations (Managing up, down, and laterally)
- Improving self-talk (Lowering the volume on KFUK radio in your head)
- Setting and holding boundaries (You are not the bad guy!)
- Learning to say no (How your no’s give your yes’s more power)
- Strengthening your capabilities as a leader (Leading with integrity and authenticity)
THE STRATEGY
Destress & Take Steps Forward
You might feel overwhelmed just reading about goal setting. In that case, we can improve your self-care and destressing strategies employing things like nature therapy. Many high achieving clients find outdoor therapy particularly rejuvenating. You already spend way too much time in an office behind a computer, so get outside. Mother nature is calling!
If what I’ve been talking about resonates with you, let’s chat. I’ve got a feeling we’d work well together. I’m 100% dedicated to helping you get back to being the high achiever you are or alternatively, helping you shift into a lower gear and find your Zen.
