Unlock Your Future: The Power of Career Counseling with a Licensed Professional Counselor

Updated: Jun 1

In today’s fast-paced world, choosing a career path—or changing one—can feel overwhelming. With countless options and ever-evolving industries, it's no wonder so many people feel stuck, uncertain, or unfulfilled in their professional lives. That’s where career counseling can be transformative.

As a licensed professional counselor associate(LPC A), I offer more than just resume tips or job interview coaching. I help clients dig deep into their unique strengths, values, personality traits, and interests to uncover career paths that align with who they are—not just what they do.

Doors with question marks
Trying to decide what door to open in a job search can be very anxiety producing.

Why Work with a Licensed Professional Counselor for Career Guidance?

Unlike a coach or recruiter, a licensed professional counselor is trained to recognize the emotional, psychological, and developmental factors that influence career decisions.


Maybe you're:

• A student unsure of what to major in or what direction to go.

• A mid-career professional craving more meaning in your work.

• Recently unemployed due to a government layoff or other job loss—and wondering what now?

• Simply ready to make a change, but unsure where to begin.


Through evidence-based assessments, thoughtful conversation, and goal-oriented planning, I can help you clarify your vision and move toward a career that feels both authentic and achievable.

Career counseling isn’t just about getting a job—it’s about gaining insight into yourself and making intentional choices that shape a fulfilling life.

You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone

If you’ve been feeling uncertain, stuck, or suddenly uprooted by job loss, you're not alone—and you don’t have to stay there.

Working with a licensed professional counselor can be a game-changer in your personal and professional growth.
