Does this sound familiar?
You’ve been stuck in what feels like an endless loop of work you don’t enjoy. Or you’ve been trying to figure out what you want to do with your life and you don’t know where to start.
You feel confused, discouraged, maybe even a little nervous. Everyone around you seems content in their jobs, and that makes it feel like you “should have figured this out by now” or “should know what to do next.” (Looks like you have a case of “The Shoulds.”) You’re ready to make a shift.
YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
I’m Dr. Jill Garfinkle. I’ve been there, too.
I know what it’s like to question your place, to fantasize about your next move, and to go ahead and take that leap. As a psychologist who has experienced this in my own life, I can provide you a warm, comfortable, non-judgmental space where you and your career journey will actually be understood.
Together we will clarify your goals and dreams, and identify interests you may not even realize you had. I will help you build your confidence and plot a path to satisfaction in your work.
HOW I CAN HELP
Help! Where do I start?
When you’re just starting out, it can feel overwhelming to find direction and focus in your career. Let’s work together to find what you enjoy and help you feel better about making decisions.
Career Transitions
Are you feeling frustrated in your career, or feeling like you’ve lost your motivation? Are you seeking a shift but not sure what you want to change? Let’s figure it out together.
Re-Entering the Workforce
Whether you took time away from working to raise children or are returning to work after going through a major life change such as divorce or a relocation, together we will assess your goals and build your confidence as you take your next steps.
You’re ready if you...
are at the beginning of your career and are searching for direction and motivation.
are re-entering the workforce or preparing to make a shift and would like some guidance.
have been working for a while and are finding yourself frustrated with your path, or wondering where your motivation went.
want to build your toolbox so you can navigate your career and its twists and turns independently and confidently in the future.
would like to build your confidence as you make career decisions.
are ready to take the reins as you embark on your next chapter and forge your new path.
If you see yourself in the descriptions above, let’s talk.
I’d love to hear from you.
You may not be ready yet if you…
are looking for a resume writer or placement specialist.
want someone to network for you, or to get you an “in” to a particular job.
are hoping to predict occupations with certainty.
are seeking someone to make career decisions for you, or to tell you what you “should” or “shouldn’t” do with your career.
want a magic recipe for your personal best work-life balance. This is different for everybody, and I believe that you are the expert on you.
Career counseling with me is not the right choice for everyone, and that’s okay.
If you’re not sure, I can help you figure it out.
