Doctoral Psychology Professional Development

Personalized guidance for psychology doctoral students developing their professional identity and preparing for the next stage of training

Doctoral training involves much more than completing coursework and accumulating clinical hours. Students are continually making decisions about practicum experiences, professional development, areas of specialization, and the kind of psychologist they hope to become.

I provide individualized, non-clinical coaching to help psychology doctoral students make thoughtful decisions about their professional development and build a strong foundation for future training and career opportunities.

How I Can Help

  • CV & Professional Materials: Reviewing and strengthening your CV and other professional materials to clearly communicate your developing experience, skills, and areas of interest.

  • Practicum Strategy: Thinking strategically about practicum opportunities and selecting experiences that align with your training goals and future career direction.

  • Professional Identity: Exploring your emerging identity as a psychologist, identifying your strengths and areas for growth, and clarifying the professional direction you want to pursue.

  • Career Preparation: Preparing for future opportunities such as practicum placements, research experiences, internship, postdoctoral training, or early-career positions.

  • Professional Development Planning: Identifying experiences, skills, and opportunities that can help you become a stronger and more well-rounded candidate for the next stage of training.

My approach is collaborative and individualized. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all roadmap, we can look at where you are in your doctoral training, where you hope to go, and how your current choices can support your longer-term professional goals.
