Licensed Professional Counselor Specializing in Career Concerns and Life Transitions
Daily Meaning - Not Just Daily Bread
Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love
but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work
and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who
work with joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you
bake a bitter bread that feeds but half a mans hunger.
~ Kahlil Gibran
My goal as your career counselor/coach
- To help you grow a stronger self confidence and
self-esteem as you learn what is "right" about you. - To help you close the gap between where you are
and where you want to be. - To help you be more satisfied with yourself and
have a greater awareness of your strengths.

What I believe
I believe that every person is equipped with gifts that are meant to be used. All of us have a set of skills that we are motivated to use whether or not we recognize them or have a name for them. My job is to help you discover what they are and then act as your partner to help you develop them, appreciate them, and market them.
When a client says, " I don't know what I want to be when I grow up," or "I don't know what to do next," I believe that the first place to start is with the question, "What is right about me?" When we concentrate on, discover, and define those strengths that we don't recognize or can't define, we take a huge step in our self awareness and are better able to turn in the right direction.
I believe that when a person is in the wrong "spot." (read job or career), their self esteem is affected adversely by the job's expectations and its environment. I have worked with clients who have been fired because they wanted to use the skills that came easily and which they enjoyed using but were not appreciated nor valued by their supervisors.
When we are in the right job, our self esteem is fed. Joy is noticeable in us and that joy spreads. It is contagious. When using our gifts, we participate in bettering our society.
"I also became aware that happiness in the sense I have described does matter.
I was as sure as that I was alive, that happiness not only needs no justification,
but that it is also the only final test of whether what I am doing is right for me."
