About Me

Philosophy

Imagine a condition called "Chronic Disclosure Syndrome." As long as I can remember, people have shared with me remarkable amounts of trust and personal information. Until I became a counselor, I did not know how to help people who shared with me their most private secrets.

It is an honor to be trusted. It is a privilege to witness a person's growth.

Approach

People can always tell me what would help them be happier, more peaceful, healthier . . . but "but" gets in the way. Folks list & describe the many reasons they cannot, should not, or will not act in their own best interests..

My job is to help you disrupt self-sabotage. "Selfish" can be a minupulative word used by people who want to get their hands on the time, talent, and treasure we are investing our self-care.

Biology

You're a creature, a living organism that requires food, water, shelter. Are your basic needs being met? How about all the other element of 'life' ... are they healthy & enriching, harmful or counterproductive, or a combination? Determination & willpower can't compensate for a lifestyle that would kill kudzu.

Experience

Abbreviated resume: roller coaster operator, corporate advertising, science teacher, talent agent, bartender . . .

For decades I listened to very personal & extremely private information. I realized people were not simply sharing their stories. They wanted me to help make sense of it all. Apparently, I had been practicing without a license my whole life. So, I got trained for the job .... I am counselor.

Why Me?

I have no idea if I'm the guy for you.

I am confident you can figure that out.

Counselors are like shoes, we all serve the same purpose but you gotta find a good fit.
