Hi, I’m Kim!

If you’re craving change but don’t know how to start,   

I got you.

I can guide you toward a career filled with purpose, balance, and fulfillment. Career counseling with me is collaborative, straightforward, and focused on your future. I'll listen with empathy, understand your challenges, and help you discover your strengths. Together, we’ll build a path that matches who you are and where you want to go. Our conversations will be meaningful, with real talk, encouragement, and maybe even a few laughs—because you deserve a career that brings you peace, not stress.

Taking this step is a powerful choice. It’s not admitting defeat—it’s saying, “I deserve more than feeling stuck or overwhelmed in my career.” You’re ready to take control, and that’s where transformation begins. Let’s work together to create the career you’ve always wanted, without the burnout and stress holding you back.

Don’t let work life keep you from living your best life.        

Imagine a world where you choose a career that truly fits you. You don’t carry the weight of work home with you or spend your evenings mentally prepping for tomorrow. Instead, you leave work behind, walk through the door, and—guess what?—it’s not just your dog excited to see you come home anymore! Your family is happy to see you, and you have the energy to enjoy them, too. Dinner at the table, real plates, and maybe even a Hallmark-movie moment of catching up on everyone’s day. Helping with homework? Not draining. Taking kids to practice? Doable. Listening to your partner’s work stress? You’re in a place to be supportive, not overwhelmed.

By the end of the night, instead of burnt out, you’re winding down with a book, laughing at TikToks, or solving the mystery on a true crime show. And when you hit the bed? You actually feel lighter and more at peace, knowing your career supports the life you want.
