Work and Direction
Career Change and Work Transition Therapy
Career decisions are rarely just career decisions. They are questions about identity, security, and what you want your days to feel like, which is why they are so hard to think through alone.
Where You Might Be
If several of these sound familiar, you are in exactly the right place. None of them need to be severe to be worth bringing to a session.
- Successful on paper and quietly done with it
- Job searching after graduation with no clear direction
- Recovering from a layoff or a role that ended badly
- Weighing a change that would cost stability
- Stuck between the safe option and the honest one
How We Work on This Together
Naming What You Actually Want
We separate your own preferences from inherited expectations before evaluating any option.
Fear and Risk, Realistically
We look squarely at what could go wrong, which usually makes the decision smaller and more manageable than it felt.
The Search Itself
Job searching is repeated rejection with no schedule. We build a way to sustain it without it defining you.
Approaches I Draw From
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Solution-Focused Therapy
- Motivational Interviewing
- Strengths-Based Therapy
Sessions are held online over a confidential, HIPAA-compliant platform and are available to residents anywhere in North Carolina.
