Seeking therapy for work and career issues can safeguard your livelihood, improve the quality of your work life and bring you more fulfillment, at work and at home.

Through in-person sessions in my office in central Austin and virtually across Texas, I offer therapy for work and career issues including:

• Launching Your Career: In the earliest stages of a career, it can be easy to be swept up in the whirlwind of questions, possibilities, hopes and uncertainty. This can be an especially valuable – and vital – time to get to know who you are at work.
• Work-Life Balance: I can help you navigate the often competing demands of work and life. We’ll delve into assessing your unique circumstances, identify priorities and understand what ‘balance’ means to you. I can also help you practice containment – a useful skill when intense work-related thoughts and feelings threaten to hijack other parts of our lives.
• Job Stress and Burnout: As job stress builds up, burnout is often just around the corner. I’m here to help you break that vicious cycle. I’ll help you recover from burnout and we’ll collaborate on finding productive ways for you to manage your job stress.
• Professional Identity and Self Esteem: Gain self-awareness and develop a deeper understanding of what you bring to your work – your personal strengths, values and goals. If you’re experiencing imposter syndrome, I’d like to help you move beyond conventional wisdom and put this nasty dynamic in its place.
• Motivation and Drive: Whether you’re struggling to find the drive to pursue your goals or find yourself repeatedly confronting blocks, I can help you fine tune the intricate dance between motivation and procrastination. For high achievers, I’d like to help you maintain your success while navigating the pressure that often accompanies it.
• Effective Communication and Work Relationship Dynamics: Workplaces are inherently social environments, and effective communication is at the heart of every successful professional relationship. I can help you elevate your professional interactions by improving your interpersonal dynamics, refining your relationship-building skills and equipping you with effective ways to navigate conflicts.
• Coping with Anxiety and Depression: The workplace is not immune to big emotions like anxiety, depression, loneliness, or overwhelm that can hijack how we think and feel about work and life. I’m here to help you learn effective ways to cope.
• Work Trauma and Healing: Work trauma comes in many forms and can have a lasting impact on an individual’s wellbeing. Whether it’s a toxic work environment, harassment, or other traumatic experiences on the job, I practice trauma-informed care and offer a safe environment where you can get the support you need to process and heal from work-related trauma.
• Navigating Career Transitions: Career transitions, whether by choice or circumstance, often come with a host of emotions and uncertainties. I provide support and guidance during these transitions so you can adapt to your new realities, reassess what you want and need and see a path forward.
• Counseling for Career Questions: Whether you’re early in your career, at a crossroads or seeking a new direction, I can help you get to know who you are at work so you can make more informed decisions about what you do for a living. If you’re considering career change, I can show you where to start, what to do and how to know whether career change could be right for you. Read more about my approach to career change here.
