Transform Your Career Journey

Find Purpose, Set Boundaries, Build Success on Your Terms

Our work matters

My clients have invested a lot of sweat and tears into building their career.  Many have even secured their “dream job”. Despite their many accomplishments, anxiety, doubt, perfectionism, and lack of self-care has caused burn-out, disconnection, and confusion. 

At its best, work is a place to explore and experiment in finding out what really matters to us and what our unique talent is. It can be a place where we feel valued by others and where we can financially support ourselves & our family.  Work can help us grow, provide us with community and a larger mission, and it can keep our hope alive when life gets hard. 

But at its worst, work can feel unbearable. It can be endless anxiety & stress, lifelong resentment, “wasted talent” and/or a re-creation of toxic interpersonal dynamics from childhood.

I have so much hope for people’s ability to grow, change, and recover, because I’ve been honored to witness it first-hand from my clients. My clients work in various career fields including: medicine, finance, biotech, academia, marketing & sales, writers, small business owners as well as parents who are full-time caregivers and home-runners.

My Approach

My approach is rooted in unearthing individual values & purpose in order to help clients feel engaged and fulfilled in work. Conversely, I may support clients in de-prioritizing some goals when they no longer serve client’s or keep them stuck in burnt out and helplessness. 

We work together to identify knowledge and skills areas to grow. Clients often want to improve communication, self-advocacy, and boundaries in order to achieve goals, improve confidence, and build in recovery & rest into their work approach.

Career Services

  • Career Assessment

    Career assessment offers a structured pathway to gaining clarity about your professional direction while honoring your identity as a parent. Through a combination of validated assessment tools and thoughtful exploration, we'll uncover patterns in your interests, strengths, and values that illuminate potential career paths.

    We start by examining your current situation and aspirations, then use specialized assessments to identify your unique skills, work style preferences, and core motivations. This process often reveals new possibilities that align with both your professional goals and family priorities.For working parents, this insight is particularly valuable – whether you're contemplating returning to work after parental leave, seeking a role with more flexibility, or ready to pursue advancement while maintaining family balance.

    The assessment process helps cut through the mental fog of competing demands, providing you with clear data and insights to make confident career decisions. You'll emerge with not just self-awareness, but practical strategies for moving forward in a direction that feels authentic and sustainable for both your career and family life.
