Focus

Helping you discover who you truly are!  is the slogan I chose for my career counseling practice because this phrase describes perfectly what I believe to be most important in successfully choosing a satisfying career. In my experience, the more clarity you have about who you truly are, starting with your aptitudes and then adding interests, personality traits, career values and motivators, the more likely you are to discover a best fit career. I use a variety of assessments to provide a holistic approach to career counseling, helping you to discover your own unique special gifts and talents and bringing you the clarity you need to find a career and a lifestyle that will bring you happiness and success.

Experience

My experience includes working with high school and college students who are trying to decide on a major or a career path, and recent college graduates who are still undecided about a path forward. I also work with adults in career transition and individuals who have retired or are close to retirement and looking for an encore career, or some type of work that will keep them busy after retirement and perhaps provide some additional income.
