This is what 35 years in the mental health field, and a wild personal growth journey, taught me…

Most people already have their answers somewhere inside them. They just have a wide variety of ways they block the truth from themselves.

This shows up in the patterns they keep repeating. The way they speak to themselves. Beliefs they've been carrying since childhood that limit their thinking and make limited decisions for them. All of it runs in the background, unconsciously shaping a life they didn't consciously choose, and can’t get free from.

I call that the small self.

It's the version of you that got built by your early environment, your family, your culture, the things that happened to you. It's not who you actually are. It's who you became without realizing it.

I teach awareness of that small self — to really see it, and understand it — so you can start living from something bigger. A Self that's conscious, present, and awake. One that has compassion for the human being you are and real agency over how you show up. That's not something you find in one day. It's something you grow into, simply by practicing awareness.

The Short Version

I'm a licensed psychotherapist and certified life coach. I've spent 35 years in mental health — in clinics, in private practice, and in the complicated lives of people who wanted more for themselves.

And here’s a random detour-I’m a former motorcycle racer. 11 years of that hard, dangerous, and exhilarating extreme sport experientially gave me the key to how we create our life, our day-to-day experience. Something I never learned in school. In racing, you go where you look. Period. Stare at the edge of the track, and you end up on the edge of the track. Focus on the ground, and you end up on it. Fast. But when you force yourself to look through the turn, as far ahead as possible, the world slos down, you make the turn smoothly and at a much greater speed.

That's physics. And it's exactly how our mind and our attention work. What you pay attention to determines what you get, what you feel, and your outcome. Most people are focused on the wall, the barrier, the limit, wondering why they keep running right into it. I help people learn to look toward and connect with what they want to create, where they really want to go.

The Work

We have 10’s of thousands of thoughts per day…how many of those are you consciously aware of? You’ll come to know what that voice in your head is saying, exactly how it's directing you 24 hours a day, where it came from, and how to make it work for you, instead of against you.

You’ll become savvy to your repeating patterns, your fear and anxiety triggers, your emotional hot buttons, and your avoidance behaviors and habits. You’ll learn to notice them early, to pause, then choose something different-a perspective and action that creates an outcome in the direction of who you want to be, instead of a new problem to clean up later.

Finally, you’ll find and develop the personal practices that uniquely help YOU stay balanced, clear, and interested in what's possible. You’ll come to know that real change is possible. It's much more accessible than you think.

If you're ready to take yourself on, let’s go.
