Find Work That Works For You
Career guidance that starts with who you are — not who your job description needs you to be.
Where career meets mental health
Most career advice assumes consistent energy and a clean split between work and everything else. A therapist helps you process what comes up. A traditional coach helps you optimize your search. Neither is built for the space between — career development that takes your mental health seriously, not as an afterthought.
Welcome to Career Wavelength
Career Wavelength brings together three things that rarely show up in the same place: years of experience in career services, doctoral-level research in organizational change, and firsthand understanding of what it's like to navigate work alongside a mental health condition.
The result is career guidance that's both strategically grounded and genuinely human — especially designed for people managing mood disorders and mental health conditions, and useful for anyone whose life doesn't fit the standard career advice mold.
Built From Three Places, For the Whole Person
Career Development Expertise
Real-world experience advising professionals, managing employer relationships, and understanding how hiring systems actually work — not just how they're supposed to.
Lived Experience & Peer Support
Firsthand understanding of what it's like to navigate a career while managing a mental health condition — combined with formal peer support training. The peer support framework isn't a add-on here; it's built into how this work actually runs.
Doctoral-Level Organizational Behavior Insight
An organizational lens that goes beyond individual advice — understanding why workplace systems function the way they do, and why individual solutions often fail when the problem is structural.
"I know this isn't working. So where do I go from here?"
It's the sentence I hear most often. The Direction Check is five minutes, and it turns that question into a starting point.
Our Services
For Individuals
One-time advisory sessions for specific questions, coaching packages for longer transitions, and self-guided tools and workshops for when you want to work at your own pace.

Free workshops, downloadable tools, and guided resources — no commitment required, available whenever you're ready.
For Organizations
Speaking engagements, workshop facilitation, and consulting for organizations ready to move beyond wellness programs and into structural change.
Meet Caroline
I spent seven years in higher education career services before founding Career Wavelength — and somewhere in the middle of all of it, I was also figuring out my own mental health in ways I hadn't fully named yet.
That combination of professional experience and personal reckoning is what this practice is built on. Not just knowing how career systems work, but knowing what it feels like when those systems don't account for you.
I hold an Ed.D. in Organizational Change and Leadership, serve on the Board of Directors of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance of California, and am a certified Peer Support Specialist through DBSA National. In 2025 I received the DBSA Outstanding Peer Leader Award.
Testimonials
Working with Caroline was a genuinely supportive experience. She was kind, encouraging, and always organized and responsive throughout our sessions. The coaching gave me a valuable space to reflect on my career goals and helped me clarify and articulate what I'm looking for. I appreciated her dedication and the care she brought to every session.
