Hi, I’m Jill.
I am a career counselor who helps grown adults who are unhappy in their jobs figure out what the heck they want to do next.
Happiness, fulfillment and joy can (and should) apply to the hours between 9-5. Or whenever you prefer to work.
But for those of us who don’t fit into boxes, much less cubicles, it is not that easy.
Maybe you’ve found yourself at a career crossroads, struggling to make a decision about your next move. Maybe your values have shifted in response to the current wackiness of the world. Maybe your family situation has changed, and what made sense in the past no longer seems tolerable.
Or, perhaps, to quote The Dude, “New shit has come to light”, causing you to question your career choices and wonder what else is possible for you.
Or, maybe your work environment is toxic and it’s time to GTFO.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety or other mental health concerns that are clearly tied to your job situation, it can be especially hard to make decisions, set priorities, take action, or see a viable way forward. Having someone in your corner is crucial to move into a healthier reality.

“I was feeling unsatisfied and stuck in a job that wasn’t right for me. Jill helped clear the path to a new career with some fun exercises, personality tests, and tools to research what career would better suit me. I now have a clear direction and am excited to start a new and fulfilling career that’s better aligned with my personality and values.”
Let's talk about the scary stuff:
Because if leaving were easy, you would have done it already. Here’s what I’ve heard from my clients:
You may be saying to yourself…
- At least I have a job. I should be grateful.
- I am too old to start over.
- Feeling happy and fulfilled at work is an unrealistic Millenial pipe dream.
- It is too much work to start a new career!
- I don't have the education and the training, or the time and money it takes to get it.
Sound familiar?
There’s another whisper that should also sound familiar. The one that says “Feeling good about the work you do is possible. Flow is possible. Balance is possible. Purpose is possible.”
It’s possible.
Turn toward that voice. That’s the voice that will lead you to career freedom.
Maybe you’ve tried taking online quizzes, asking for advice, trying out ideas (apprentice cheesemaker? Dogsitter to the stars? Professional lizard tamer?) but nothing seems to land. Maybe you are frozen in indecision, spinning between a few ideas but never taking action or moving forward.
Quiz results don’t reflect your background, strengths, fears, and unique situation. Most advice is geared toward climbing the corporate ladder (shudder).
The fact is: You are an unconventional person who requires an unconventional approach to figuring it out.
That unconventional approach is my specialty.
Drawing on my background as a therapist, I’ll work with you to explore the path that got you here, the stories and beliefs that might (or might not) be holding you back from vocational bliss, and the best way to support you in moving confidently towards your dreams.
My background as a Social Worker gives me an acute awareness of how your environment affects your life, how your story influences your choices, and the challenges of changing both.
I’m here to help you find work that aligns with your values, strengths, priorities and authentic self – and find an environment that promotes balance and wellbeing.
“After feeling trapped and unhappy with my career for many years, I hired Jill to help me find some clarity and direction. Jill competently guided me through relevant assessments and activities, which resulted in identifying careers which better aligned with my value system, work personality preferences and skill set. I resigned from my very safe, 23 year career with the government and started my own business. I am thriving both in business and in life!
Jill’s process involves highlighting and celebrating your preferences and skills, without judgement. This is an empowering experience and it allows her clients to fully investigate a new career path in a very positive and safe space. Thank you Jill!”
