Career Counseling therapists in Santa Clarita, California CA

Finding the connection between what you love, what you are good at, and what are your passions helps you to discover the career path you will enjoy. We help you discover and eliminate internal blocks that may be keeping you stuck so that you can pursue the career/work life you can be proud of.  

If you are feeling stuck, in a period of transition, or simply want help to navigate a stressful or toxic work environment I can help you. Together we can work through your challenges and find ways to give you more peace and satisfaction as you navigate your career and goals.  

IMAGINE A LIFE FULFILLED! Hard to do? Your feelings of confusion, pain, fear, being stuck, or overwhelmed, are real. But, you can overcome them! There are times, in everyone's life, when assistance is needed to help live the life you want and deserve. I can help you.  

Many clients come to me for help navigating life transitions, including career crossroads and changes. I facilitate a process that helps my clients balance pragmatic concerns alongside a deeper sense of calling (vocation) and purpose as they chart an individual (and unique) path forward in their careers. Often our work takes an imaginal approach that incorporates the use of dreams, imagination, journaling, and selected reading between sessions. In this way, outer work is firmly held and supported by inner work.  

I like to work creatively using imaginal and forward thinking to creatively shape your upcoming experiences.  

The entertainment industry is a particularly challenging business to navigate and thrive in. The intense competitiveness and the premium placed on notoriety, fame and money contribute to feelings of depression, anxiety and low self-worth. In my previous career, I worked as an agent and subsequently an agency owner. This experience has given me the insight to deeply understand the constant pressure we put on ourselves to be “successful” for the sake of external validation and financial gain despite our mental well-being. I know what it’s like to achieve a version of “success” that was supposed to make me happy but, in fact, left me miserable and purposeless. If you find that you are getting in the way of your own growth because of the intensity and ruthlessness of the entertainment industry, we can work to identify what is at play and help you find the right path for you. Together we will redefine your definition of success and how that can be implemented to take your career to the next level.  

Are you in the process of changing careers? A life transition? I am in my second career and can help support you through this process.  

Welcome to my psychology practice, where I am available to help you. Whether you are experiencing a difficult time in your life, or you suffer from psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, eating or sleeping disorders, I am trained and experienced to provide help and restore health.  

Working with Creatives: Burnout, Success, Motivation, Inspiration: I am licensed in both New York State and California in order to better serve my bi-coastal clients and creatives. I work with creatives at all stages in their career-- from celebrities to LA/NYC newcomers. I enjoy watching the creative journey unfold, and your improved wellbeing become your muse. I specifically cater to the unique needs of celebrities looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and discreet psychologist. I understand the unique concerns about public image, mismanaged personal information, and fear of exposure that prevent some creatives from receiving excellent care. Celebrities deal with issues that may not be typical of an average person. Because of this, you require a psychologist who has experience helping other celebrities who have overcome their disorders with careful and attentive therapy work. I understand that insuring your privacy is of utmost importance. You will never have to speak with a secretary, answering service, or receptionist. And unlike some practices, you will never be transferred to an associate or intern. Additionally, I have a discreet office location (when the pandemic allows) and also offer concierge home-based sessions at an additional fee. Whether you are dealing with the stresses of fame, trying to find creative work/life balance, trying to find a manager that hears your vision, or trying to find your own vision/calling...
