Career Counseling
This is a space for reflection, support, and direction, where your strengths, goals, questions, and career path can be explored with clarity, purpose, and confidence.
What to Expect
Career counseling is a space to step back, reflect honestly, and gain greater clarity about your goals, direction, strengths, and next steps. My goal is to provide a supportive and grounded environment where clients can better understand themselves, explore possibilities, and move forward with greater confidence and intention.
Unlike therapy, career counseling is specifically focused on vocational direction, academic and professional decision-making, and practical next steps related to work, calling, and future planning. It is not psychotherapy and is not considered therapy under the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Rather, it is a more focused service designed to help clients gain clarity, confidence, and direction in their academic or professional path.
My Approach
My approach to career counseling is supportive, practical, and insight-oriented. I draw from person-centered counseling, strengths-based work, and career development tools to help clients better understand their interests, values, personality, skills, and goals. I want the process to feel both encouraging and purposeful.
I also integrate tools and frameworks such as the Strong Interest Inventory, MBTI, CliftonStrengths, O*NET Online, and CareerOneStop when helpful. These can support clients in identifying patterns, clarifying direction, exploring career options, and making thoughtful decisions about work, calling, and future planning.
I believe good career counseling includes both reflection and movement. I strive to offer steady support while also helping clients process uncertainty, identify strengths, clarify goals, and take practical next steps. At times, this may involve exploring career options, navigating a transition, strengthening confidence, or making sense of recurring uncertainty around work, purpose, or direction.
Areas of Support
Career counseling can be helpful for career discernment, job transitions, vocational uncertainty, major or graduate school decisions, confidence in professional direction, identifying strengths, exploring interests, resume or interview preparation, and understanding how your values and goals connect to your work. It can also be a space to gain clarity, direction, and a stronger sense of purpose in your career path.
