Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Navigating office politics, an unsupportive manager, unfulfilling role, or a career change isn't easy. As a former marketer at Microsoft and San Francisco / Silicon Valley start-ups, I have first-hand experience of the unique pressures of the corporate and tech world. Clinical approaches like CBT, DBT, and ACT, can improve your confidence, communication skills and help develop ways to face toxic workplace cultures, set boundaries with bullies, and pursue job / career changes.

Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Career dissatisfaction can show up as burnout from chronic stress, a lingering sense of emptiness or lack of fulfillment, or simply a feeling that you’re ready for a new and more meaningful chapter in your life.
I know this experience personally. Before becoming a therapist, I spent four years working as an engineer at a tech startup, often putting in 50–60 hour weeks. Over time, I became increasingly stressed and disconnected from my sense of purpose. What I later came to understand was that my work was misaligned with my values, strengths, and the life I wanted to be living. Making a major career change taught me firsthand what it takes to move through uncertainty and arrive at a place of greater balance and fulfillment.
In our work together, I help you gain a deep understanding of your interests, talents, values, dreams, and financial goals, while exploring career paths that truly fit your life. Not everyone needs to make a big career change, and sometimes fulfillment comes from a shift in perspective, boundaries, or how you show up in your current role. Together, we’ll clarify what kind of change is actually needed.
I believe that each person has a meaningful role to play in the world, and I would be honored to help you discover where you fit and how to move forward with clarity, purpose, and confidence.
