In-Person career Counseling and Anxiety therapy in bloomington, IN and online across indiana
A safe place for professionals to work through work-related stress, imposter syndrome, and career changes to create a meaningful life and career.
You want to enjoy your life and career but instead you’re feeling:
-
The stress you’ve been feeling at work has turned into anxiety because you’re working in high-stress job or a toxic workplace, perhaps with a toxic leader. You value harmony and enjoyment at work but your job is no longer meeting those values. You dread going to work each day and when you do, you unplug as much as you can because it’s the only way you can deal with such a large amount of dysfunction, stress, and anxiety. Especially if you’re unable to quit, you’d like to learn tools to better navigate these work situations as you notice your stress is beginning to affect your loved ones and friends.
-
You’d like to advance at work, but you don’t think you have the needed knowledge or skills. Maybe you want to offer to head up a new project, apply for a promotion, or start a new venture, but you feel you aren’t prepared enough or don’t know enough and these feelings are starting to hold you back at work and in your life.
-
You’ve recently been laid off, RIFFed, or quit and you might be grieving the loss. You’re feeling anxiety about starting a job search or you might even be a bit depressed about your new situation. You’re unsure how to start your job search, or how to continue if your search isn’t getting anywhere.

How Career and mental health counseling sessions work
First, schedule a free 15-minute consultation call
The first step is a short video or phone call with me. You can send me a message through my contact page, or simply use my calendar to schedule a time that works for you.
In our call I’ll ask about what’s bringing you to therapy, I’ll share a little bit about how I work and answer any questions you have. If we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule your first session.
Each week we’ll meet in-person or virtually (whichever you prefer) for a 50-minute session to discuss what’s happening at work (and in your life!).
In our sessions together we’ll explore your distressing/negative thoughts and feelings that are making you feel stressed and anxious. We’ll learn tools that will help you handle those thoughts and feelings in a way that gives you more peace, the ability to be more present, and able to take action according to your values.
Sessions are available in-person in Bloomington, IN or virtually across Indiana.

As our work together moves on, you’ll feel more grounded and less reactive to what’s going on around you. You’ll have tools to navigate the uncertainty you’re facing so you can move forward with clarity. Whether you stay in your current job or make a change, you’ll be equipped to build a life and career that reflects who you truly are.
