Vocational Specialist | Master’s-Level Counseling Candidate | Career Reinvention Strategist
I help women stop making career decisions from fear.
If you have spent years being the dependable one, the yes woman, the one who stays late, the one who holds everything together while slowly losing your confidence, your evenings, and your sense of self, I want to be direct with you: that is not burnout. That is job harm. And recovering from it requires a specific kind of support.
I combine clinical mental health training, vocational science, and 14 years of hands-on experience in healthcare and crisis work to help women identify exactly what they are capable of and build a documented career direction they can actually execute.
My background spans medical crisis response, women’s health, mobile crisis, rape crisis advocacy, case management, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and career counseling. I am finishing my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and will be applying for my LMHCA license upon graduation. I hold an ICF coaching certification through Insight Coaching and completed ACER training in meaningful employment. I am also a vocational specialist with formal training in Holland Codes, Life-Span Theory, Career Decision Self-Efficacy, O*NET analysis, and JAN workplace accommodations.
This is not a strategy built on passion alone. It is built on clinical training, vocational expertise, and real-world experience with women in crisis, career and otherwise.
Most women who come to me are not burned out. They are frozen. They are looping. They are running the same stress response they learned in a job that trained them to shrink, comply, and survive. They know they need to leave. They feel like they can’t. They can.
The work we do together is not about processing how bad it was. It is about mapping who you are, what you are capable of, and exactly where you go next.
Your time and energy are your real currency. When your work aligns with your values, you don’t just feel fulfilled, you finally feel like yourself again.
Grounded: No toxic positivity. No vague inspiration. Real strategy built on real clinical and vocational frameworks.
Strategic: You leave with a documented plan, transferable skills profile, career direction map, and a 90-day roadmap you can execute.
Psychology-Informed: Job harm affects your nervous system, your identity, and your decision-making. We address all three not as therapy, but as the foundation for clear, grounded career choices.
Clarity-Focused: Every session moves you closer to a specific, realistic next step. This work ends with direction, not more questions.
some fun facts
You’ll usually find me with a cup of coffee, reading psychology or fantasy, painting, or indulging in a quiet creative moment. I recharge through self-development, slow mornings, and anything that brings me back to myself after a long day of supporting others.
New experiences, deep conversations, fresh perspectives, and anything that challenges me to think differently. Whether it’s exploring a new place or engaging in a thoughtful debate, I’m energized by learning and expanding how I see the world.
My family, my dogs, crystals, good books, the thrill of negotiating (yes, really), and conversations that go beneath the surface. I’m happiest when I’m learning, imagining, or connecting with something meaningful.
the beginnings
Career reinvention coaching for women recovering from job harm, burnout, and confidence loss.
I help high-achieving women who’ve been harmed by their jobs rebuild clarity, reconnect to their strengths, and choose their next aligned career move, without starting over or doubting their worth.
My approach combines psychology-informed recovery work, strengths + transferable skills identification, and strategic decision-making so you can move forward with grounded confidence instead of fear or overwhelm.
This is not mindset fluff or generic life coaching.
This is job harm recovery, identity rebuilding, and career clarity designed to help you feel capable, confident, and aligned again.
