Bio

I am a career counselor and therapist in private practice in Washington, D.C. Since 1999, I have helped hundreds of clients change careers, find new jobs and deal more effectively with workplace challenges.

In addition to my private practice, I have worked for two national corporate outplacement firms: Lee Hecht Harrison and Resource Careers. These are the organizations that help people who have experienced a layoff or downsizing to find new jobs, and their programs are usually considered the gold-standard of job search technique.

I am a regular presenter on career issues, having taught career theory at the graduate level, designed and delivered numerous workshops, and served as a regular guest commentator on WMAL’s career radio show “Your Career Life.”

I am a career –changer myself.  Before entering the counseling field, I worked for nearly a decade as a trade negotiator for the United States Government, first at the Department of Commerce and then at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

I hold a number of relevant licenses and certifications: licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the District of Columbia; Master Career Counselor (MCC), a designation of the National Career Development Association (NCDA); and National Certified Counselor (NCC), a designation of the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC).  My professional memberships include the American Counseling Association (ACA), the National Employment Counselors Association (NECA), the National Career Development Association (NCDA) and the Washington Metropolitan Area Career-Life Planning Network (MAC-LPN).

I received a B.A. from the University of Virginia, a masters of science in foreign service from Georgetown University, and a masters in community counseling from George Washington University.
