Suzanne Rubel, M.A.
Counselor, Educator and Trainer

Jigsaw puzzles, especially the colossal ones with hundreds of pieces, have always been exciting challenges to me. The process of finding a satisfying career is similar in so many ways. Even when some of the pieces are missing, if we can construct a border that lends definition to the puzzle, a pleasing picture will begin to reveal itself. To effectively complete the puzzle, we need motivation, energy, and some practical strategies to keep on course. I will add imagination, intuition, structure, and over twenty years of career development training experience to ensure the pieces of the puzzle come together for a good fit.

With an M.A. in Counseling Psychology and Education from Northwestern University and a background in university, non-profit, and private career counseling, I have guided culturally diverse clients of all ages in career transition. Having taught classes and led workshops in subjects as varied as Salary Negotiation and Job Search Strategies, I am versatile in my areas of expertise.

Whether your puzzle is entitled "Rethinking My Work Options," "Life-Work Balance," or has another name, we can blend our skills to complete a clear and well-defined picture.
