In my career counseling practice, I understand the profound impact one's career choices can have on their overall well-being and mental health. Recognizing this, I bring specialized training in career counseling to help individuals navigate the complexities of their professional journeys. My approach blends personal exploration with targeted assessments, facilitating a deeper understanding of each client's unique aspirations, skills, and values. This dual strategy is aimed at uncovering fulfilling career paths that align with personal strengths and life goals. Through this process, I support clients in making informed decisions that not only advance their careers but also contribute positively to their mental health and personal satisfaction.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Sometimes success on paper doesn’t match how you feel inside. You’ve worked hard, stayed focused, and built a career that others admire—but now, something feels off. Maybe you’re burned out, questioning whether your work still aligns with who you are, or facing a turning point you didn’t see coming. Dr. Jenny Shields specializes in helping high-achieving professionals who find themselves at a crossroads—caught between the life they’ve meticulously built and the quiet realization that it may no longer reflect what truly matters.
Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), values-based coaching, and her own lived experience navigating these same questions, Dr. Shields offers more than just strategies—she offers a space for radical honesty. A place to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the values and passions that once guided your life. Whether you’re navigating burnout, grief, a career disruption, or simply that unsettling sense of disconnection from yourself, Dr. Shields partners with you to chart a new path—one that feels not only successful but also meaningful and sustainable.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many of the adults I work with hold high‑responsibility roles in demanding, high‑pressure environments where expectations are constant and the room to be human feels very small. I also work with new graduates and early‑career adults who are carrying significant pressure at the start of their careers and are afraid of “getting it wrong.” You may look competent and successful on the outside while privately feeling tense, exhausted, or unsure how much longer you can keep going this way.
Career strain is rarely just about the job. It can touch your sense of self, family expectations, money, health, and long‑standing patterns like perfectionism, over‑functioning, or people‑pleasing. You may be wondering whether you chose the right path, feeling stuck in a difficult workplace, or afraid that changing directions would mean wasting everything you have invested.
In our work, we make room for the full complexity of your situation and the part of you that wants a life that feels more like your own. Our work focuses on helping you listen to yourself more clearly, understand what your nervous system is trying to tell you, and consider options that feel more aligned and sustainable over time.
