How to Know If It’s Time for a Career Change
When work becomes unbearable, most of us think “I need a career change.” But sometimes you need a different job in the same field. Sometimes the issue is internal strategies making everything harder. Here’s how to tell which problem to address first.

People who reach out to me tend to know they’re capable. What they’re unsure about is why they’re so tired, and why work seems to take everything out of them.
The Difference Between Understanding Behavior and Excusing Harm
You don’t want to be reactive, so you try to understand the other person’s perspective. You analyze and contextualize until the behavior makes sense. And once it makes sense, the emotional edge comes off.
Christine Walker, LPC | Career Therapist
Hello, I’m happy you’ve found your way here.
I didn’t set out intending to become a career therapist. In fact, I originally thought I was going to become a marriage therapist, but during my training, I discovered I’m uniquely good at working with smart, intensely driven people, the kind of people who work like they have something to prove.
I especially enjoy working with leaders who look calm and capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, lonely, or resentful underneath.
If you decide to work with me, you should know that I will ask you questions that don’t usually get asked, and I’ll give you the honest feedback you crave but most people are afraid to give.
On a personal note, I’m a mother of four grown (or nearly grown) young men. And my inner child is an artist, a dancer, and someone who isn’t impressed by titles but is endlessly curious about the people behind them.
