Is this you?

You might be feeling one of these

If any of these sound familiar, you're exactly the kind of person I love to work with.

It's Sunday night and you already dread Monday morning.

You're good at your job, but it no longer feels like yours.

You've outgrown a career you once worked hard to build.

A layoff or ending forced a change you didn't choose.

You're staring at a blank page where your next step should be.

You're returning to work after time away and don't know where you fit.

You have options, but no idea which one is right for you.

A big life shift like an empty nest, a move, or retirement has you asking "what now?"

You're early in your career and want to start in the right direction.

You feel pulled toward something more meaningful but can't name it yet.

The resume, applications, and networking feel overwhelming to face alone.

You want to negotiate your worth but aren't sure how to ask.

Whatever brought you here, the next step is a simple conversation.

Good questions

Frequently asked

What does a career coach do, and how is it different from therapy? +
A career coach helps you gain clarity and take practical, forward-looking action on your work life: finding a direction, navigating a change, or running a focused job search. Coaching is action-oriented and future-focused, while therapy tends to focus on healing. My background as a Master's-level counselor means the coaching is grounded in a real understanding of personality and human behavior.
Do you offer coaching in Mount Pleasant and Charleston? +
Yes. I'm based in Mount Pleasant and work with clients throughout the greater Charleston, SC area, as well as nationwide through secure online sessions.
What happens in the free 15-minute consultation? +
It's a relaxed, no-pressure conversation. You share what you're facing, I explain how I can help, and we decide together whether working together feels like the right fit. There's no cost and no obligation.
What if I have no idea what I want to do next? +
That's one of the most common reasons people reach out. Using personality assessment and structured exploration of your strengths, values, and interests, we uncover directions that genuinely fit you, then build a realistic plan to get there.
How is this different from a recruiter or a resume service? +
A recruiter works to fill a role; a resume service edits a document. Coaching starts with you, helping you understand what you actually want, then supports the whole journey: direction, confidence, resume, networking, interviews, and salary negotiation.
