Explore, Grow, Thrive
Career Counseling Offers Structure and Direction
Career counseling provides a more focused, collaborative, and structured approach to exploring career options, clarifying goals, and developing actionable next steps. I work with people at all stages of their careers, including:
-
- College students and recent graduates exploring their interests, evaluating academic and career options, and planning their next steps.
- Early-career professionals navigating the transition from college to work, building professional confidence, and establishing career direction.
- Mid-career professionals feeling stuck, burned out, or ready for a change and seeking a clearer path forward.
- Late-career professionals and retirees considering new opportunities, second careers, or ways to find purpose and fulfillment in the next chapter of life.

What I Offer
One-on-One Career Counseling
Sessions are 50 minutes and available in-person in Allentown, PA or virtually to clients across Southeastern Pennsylvania and Delaware. Most clients work with me for 6–12 sessions, depending on their needs.
Together, we’ll explore your goals, clarify your direction, and build a plan for a more fulfilling work life.
Why Choose Me?
I bring both practical and therapeutic expertise to career counseling. My background as a civil engineer, project manager, and licensed therapist gives me a unique perspective: I know how to develop and implement a plan and how to help you emotionally navigate the challenges you may encounter along the way.
I’m committed to building a warm, collaborative relationship where you feel supported, challenged, and inspired. You are the expert on your life — I’m here to help you connect to your own wisdom so that you can confidently make decisions about your future.
My Approach
I use a structured, collaborative process tailored to your unique situation. Career counseling typically unfolds in four phases
1. Self-Discovery & Exploration
We begin with career assessments and guided reflection exercises to help you better understand your:
- Strengths and transferable skills
- Interests and values
- Personality and preferences
We also work to identify emotional blocks like anxiety or burnout that may be affecting your decision-making.
2. Career Research & Possibilities
With more self-awareness, you’ll learn how to explore career options that align with who you are. I’ll teach you how to research roles, industries, and paths that make sense for your goals and support you as you sort through what feels right.
3. Try It Out
If you’re still deciding, we can explore ways to test potential directions through volunteering, internships, job shadowing, or informational interviews. You’ll have space to reflect on how these experiences fit your skills, interests, and values.
4. Action Plan & Job Search Support
Once you’ve chosen a path, I’ll help you create a step-by-step plan to move forward. This may include:
- Resume and cover letter development
- Identifying target employers and networking opportunities
- Interview preparation and confidence-building
- Managing job search anxiety and staying motivated
Fees
Career Counseling sessions cost $150 per 50-minute session. Career counseling is not covered by insurance.
