Alexandra Jenkins, M.A.

Alexandra’s goal is to facilitate each client’s discovery of unique ways in which to integrate his or her passions and purpose in order to achieve maximum career-life fulfillment. She counsels adults in all stages of career transition, including current college students, recent college grads, mid-life career changers, and individuals entering retirement. Alexandra has assisted clients whose career interests range from theatre to accounting to construction. She sees in each individual the possibility of incorporating dreams into reality.

Past clients have variously described her as “enthusiastic,” “great at helping to identify new perspectives,” and “someone who gets the job done.” Whether you’re seeking a new job, an overall career change, or new strategies for getting the most out of your life and work, Alexandra can provide innovative feedback to help you identify and create the possibilities you desire.
