My Services
I work with a wide range of clients who would like to explore an aspect of their professional situation in greater depth. These challenges include, for example, career choices, dissatisfaction in their current job, dealing with stress or difficulties with colleagues or superiors, the desire for change, or the difficulty of combining work with a healthy life. Concerns can range from vague dissatisfaction to concrete plans for change. I offer counseling sessions as well as a more structured approach with professional testing procedures. My clients range from young people making their first career decisions to seasoned professionals. In our introductory call, we will decide together which approach is right for you.
I am an I/O psychologist and former mental health RN and I offer career counseling and coaching. In doing this, I always take the entire person into account, as work affects all areas of our lives. The integration of professional psychometric assessments and reflection is also very important to me, to ensure that you can get as much as possible out of our work together.
I help clients clarify and navigate career decisions as well as transitions. This might involve identifying suitable careers, finding a different niche or role in your current field or even re-evaluating your mindset.
