If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure what’s next, Linda helps you make sense of it — and find work that genuinely fits. She’s a licensed counselor and career coach who takes the time to really understand you, then stays in your corner the whole way.
“I landed the first job I interviewed for after working with her.”

If any of this sounds familiar
Sunday nights come with a knot in my stomach, and I can’t keep ignoring it.
A layoff caught me off guard, and I don’t know what my next move should be.
I’ve hit a ceiling. I’m good at my job, but there’s nowhere left to grow.
On paper I’m successful, but the work feels empty and I want it to mean something.
I want to change fields, but I have no idea where I’d actually fit in Denver.
I’ve tried coaching before and got generic templates. It didn’t move anything.
Whatever your situation, you’re not stuck because something is wrong with you.
You’re stuck because career decisions are genuinely hard to make alone.
This is exactly the work Linda thrives on.

Why Denver professionals choose Linda
Most career coaches offer the practical — the resume, the search, the interview. Linda brings far more: 25 years of career development expertise, from directing a university career center to guiding professionals through every kind of transition. And as a Licensed Professional Counselor, she also works with what usually holds people back — the fear of change, imposter syndrome, burnout, and perfectionism. That combination is rare, and it’s why her clients get unstuck and stay unstuck.
Most coaches work only with the head. Linda is the only Colorado LPC trained in Connect Head & Heart™ — the signature Careers by Design approach, and a rare, HeartMath™-based practice that fuses sharp career strategy with genuine emotional resilience. It’s the difference between advice you nod along to and change that actually holds.
When you get your whole self online — the best of your mind and the best of your heart — you see everything differently.

Linda isn’t a niche specialist — she’s guided professionals across every corner of Denver’s economy. What actually moves a career forward isn’t insider tricks for one field; it’s the inner work — clarity, confidence, and knowing your strengths — that carries you into any of them.
From RiNo startups to the Denver Tech Center — breaking in, scaling to leadership, or pivoting from a traditional industry into software, product, or UX.
Linda has guided countless professionals through Denver’s tech scene — from RiNo startups to the Denver Tech Center. Whether you’re breaking in, scaling from individual contributor to leadership, or pivoting from a traditional industry, she understands the collaborative culture and rapid pace that define Colorado tech. Her clients have moved into software development, product management, UX design and tech leadership at both startups and established companies. She helps you position transferable skills, navigate the interview process, and negotiate compensation that reflects Denver’s competitive market.
Advancement and burnout in mission-driven work — for clinicians, nurses and administrators across Denver’s health systems and the Anschutz campus.
Many of Linda’s clients work across Denver’s healthcare ecosystem — UCHealth, Denver Health, Children’s Hospital Colorado and the Anschutz Medical Campus. She helps clinicians, nurses and administrators navigate mission-driven work, burnout and advancement in a demanding sector. Whether you’re a physician weighing a specialty change, a nurse exploring leadership, or an administrator seeking better balance, she pairs practical strategy with real emotional support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, she understands the psychological toll of caregiving work and helps you build a sustainable path.
Clearance considerations, government-contracting culture, and military-to-civilian transitions across the Front Range’s aerospace employers.
The Front Range is home to major aerospace employers — Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Ball Aerospace and numerous defense contractors. Linda has helped engineers, program managers and technical professionals navigate the sector’s unique demands, from security-clearance considerations to government-contracting culture. Whether you’re entering aerospace from another field, seeking advancement, or transitioning from military to civilian roles, she understands the technical requirements and cultural nuances that define success here — and helps you position your expertise while managing the uncertainty of contract-dependent work.
Moving into purpose-driven outdoor-industry roles, or advancing in them — work that supports the Colorado lifestyle rather than fighting it.
For many professionals, the outdoor lifestyle is the reason they moved to Colorado — and Linda helps you find work that supports it rather than competes with it. She’s worked with clients at outdoor-gear companies, active-lifestyle brands, recreation-technology firms and adventure-tourism operations. Whether you’re moving from a corporate role into purpose-driven outdoor-industry work, or advancing within the industry, she understands the culture of companies that value both performance and play, and helps you translate a passion for the outdoors into professional value.
Reframing an oil-and-gas background for renewables, clean tech and sustainability — or accelerating impact if you’re already there.
Denver’s energy landscape is transforming, and Linda coaches professionals making the pivot from traditional oil and gas into renewables, clean technology and sustainability consulting. That move takes more than an updated resume — it means reframing your narrative, addressing questions about a traditional-energy background, and positioning yourself for the green economy. She also works with people already in renewables who want to accelerate their impact, across solar, wind, energy storage, environmental consulting and corporate sustainability.
Partnership-track advancement, industry switches, and exits — for professionals from the Big Four, consulting practices, law and financial firms.
Denver’s growth as a regional business hub has opened opportunities in consulting, accounting, legal and financial services. Linda works with professionals from Big Four firms, management-consulting practices, law firms and financial institutions pursuing partnership-track advancement, considering an industry switch, or exploring entrepreneurship. Denver’s market has its own dynamics — less rigid than the coasts, but still highly competitive. She helps you build a book of business, navigate firm politics, and position yourself for partnership or a successful exit into industry.

What clients say
“I landed the first job I interviewed for.”
Linda guided me through the process of redefining my career path, helping me to step back and assess my needs and priorities with clarity. I highly recommend Linda to anyone seeking a career coach who genuinely wants to make changes in their lives.
Drew RobinsonErie, CO · Google review · 2024“A renewed and clearer understanding of who I always have been.”
I went to her at a turning point in my life wherein I was still feeling somewhat lost and confused. I am now confidently taking the next steps toward my new career.
“I’ve successfully secured my aspirational role.”
Linda’s ability to help me formulate a clear and strategic plan for my professional journey has been invaluable.
Nikhil KSenior VP, Citibank“Linda provided me with the tools and encouragement to negotiate salary.”
She helped me refine my interview answers and LinkedIn profile. As an introvert, I find networking challenging. But Linda taught me to change my perspective & approach to networking that helped me make connections more easily.
“The quality of my choice is richer than what I would have designed on my own.”
I spent fifteen years at a career I chose for myself in childhood, so much of my identity was intertwined with that title. I had been agonizing for months on my own, stalled, thinking about a career change. Working with Linda helped me work through fear and design a path that resonated with my whole (adult) self, and it allowed me to see how this new direction has been a part of my evolution all along. I am excited about this next chapter and wouldn’t hesitate to work with Linda again in the future!
Brooke LodgeGoogle review · 2021“It really brought it all together.”
The strengths assessment was a great start for my coaching sessions, reiterating some things I knew about myself and teaching me new strengths that I didn’t realize I possessed, ultimately building my confidence in the process. Capped off by the one on one coaching, it really brought it all together leaving me fully prepared to pursue my next career.
Professional endorsements

Denver career coaching, answered
You start with the one-hour Turning Point session ($147), where Linda works through your situation in detail and builds a practical strategy with you. From there, coaching programs run 4 to 12 sessions ($888–$2,388) and include the personalized resources you need. No-fee, no-interest monthly payment plans are available.
Linda holds credentials in both counseling and career development — she is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a former university Director of Career Services. Unlike unregulated services, that means real strategy backed by genuine expertise, not templated advice.
Absolutely — career transitions are a specialty. From clarity-building to job-search planning and interview prep, Linda helps you move forward with confidence, and works with the fear and uncertainty that big changes bring.
Most clients don’t — and that’s a good starting point. Career coaching gives you the space and the tools to explore what work would genuinely suit you, rather than forcing a decision before you’re ready.
Never. There are flexible options, including single sessions and goal-focused packages — no contracts, no pressure, just the support you need.
Both. Linda meets Denver clients in person at the Curtis Street office, and online across Colorado and the USA. Video sessions run on Practice Better, a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform — your conversations stay private and encrypted, and there’s nothing to download; you simply join from your browser.
