Tell Me More
Watch your email for questions from me. Before we hop on our call, I’d like to know a bit about you and what you’d like to get out of working together.
Talk with Me
At the scheduled time of your consult, we’ll talk! We’ll use the opportunity to make sure we’re a great fit before you commit.
Get Started
Then we’ll get started! If you decide to work with me, I’ll tell you the exact steps for getting started. If you decide not to work with me or if we aren’t a perfect fit, I’m happy to share other resources to help you get what you need.
Need a Course Correction?
Not every problem requires guidance counseling.
Rescue My Routine is a fast, intensive, low-cost personalized plan of action for when you’re struggling to take charge of your day-to-day.
Is Rescue My Routine Right for Me?
I used to have a pretty good routine but I'm struggling now.
Life has changed pretty fast and I thought I was doing okay, but stuff is starting to slip…
I'm on a hamster wheel and I can't get off.
I’m running as hard as I can just to keep up. No matter how much I get done, it feels like I’m always behind.
If I could just get a sec, I think I'd be okay.
No, seriously, I just need 10 minutes to regroup…but it seems like that’s impossible.
What Is Career Counseling?
Career and guidance counseling is a way to get a grip on your work life – to figure out what’s working and what’s gotta change. By working with a pro, you can get clear on what matters to you and chart a course from where you are to where you want to be.
Yes, even if that doesn’t look like a “normal” job or career!
How do I know if counseling is right for me?
If you’re here, you already know you need some outside help.
Now it’s a matter of finding the right person to talk to!
There’s no one-size-fits-all guaranteed 3-step plan to career success. And there’s no One Counselor To Rule Them All.
Fit is everything!
That’s why we’ll do a free 1:1 consult before committing to anything – both of us should feel this is a great fit.
Drop me a line or schedule a chat today.
What issues do you help people deal with?
Modern life is kinda messy – there are fewer and fewer boundaries between work and life. So it’s a little pointless to look at just your career or just your personal life and say “That’s that!”
I help you look at the bigger picture and connect the dots on what’s going great, what’s kinda crappy, and how to course-correct.
My specialties include:
- Burnout recovery & prevention
- Career change & transition
- Starting & running a side hustle
- Navigating a freelance career
- Presentation & public speaking skills
How long does guidance counseling take?
That depends!
I know, I know: “What a cop-out.” But it’s true! Everyone’s journey is different – that’s the whole point of a Constellation Career.
In our first conversation, we’ll get an idea of where you are and a sense of what it may take to get to where you want to be. Some issues can be sorted out in as little as one or two sessions; some can take a whole lot longer.
Guidance counseling isn’t therapy; you shouldn’t be sticking around for weekly sessions forever.
My goal is to put myself out of a job – because you’re confident in charting your own path forward without me!
What if I'm self-employed? Or want to be?
That’s awesome! I can’t wait to hear about your business.
Entrepreneurs need help and love, too! It’s a tough, sometimes lonely journey – I know, I’ve been there. And it can be especially hard to navigate when you’ve literally thrown the road map out the window and done your own thing.
Whether you’re just starting your side hustle now or you’ve been in the entrepreneurship game for years and just need a little outside perspective, I’m here to help.
How do I know we'll be a good fit to work together?
Finding a counselor is kind of like dating – you have to shop around, be a little picky, know what you’re after, and probably spend more time than you’d like nodding in boredom while someone tells you all about themselves.
You’ve gotta click with your counselor.
That’s why I don’t offer a free initial 1:1 – I insist on it! We both need to feel confident that this is the right matchup to get you the results you want moving forward.
Just hop on up to the Work With Me page and fill out a short form. We’ll set up your initial conversation and see where it goes!
