My specialty is a hybrid of Sports Psychology (mental game training),
Life Coaching
(career and
life
guidance), and traditional Psychology (anxiety, depression and relationship issues).
As a Sports Psychologist,
Life
Coach, and Business coach I have well over 30,000 hours of experience working with athletes, entrepreneurs and businesses. I am particularly effective with the mental game: helping athletes and business people develop much greater patience, poise, focus, clarity, and self-confidence! I guide many through difficult crises like performance anxiety, depression and communication issues working through obstacles along the way like fear of failure, fear of success, and many other forms of self-sabotage. You will develop greater poise, business acumen, enhanced performance, and career satisfaction.

When dealing with issues related to substance abuse, mood/anxiety disorders, anger management, or significant
life
events, it helps to have a professional who in addition to the appropriate clinical expertise, has a background that equips him with first-hand experience of the environment in which you live and work.
I work with high performing business professionals who find themselves faced with a significant personal challenge. The pressure created by the intense nature of their work, the schedule and time constraints, and even how the language of the industry influences the way one thinks about solving problems and can make recovery more challenging than it needs to be. As a former senior executive in the pharmaceutical industry, who became a counselor after a successful business career, I bring a unique understanding of the pressures and challenges top executives face.

Life
has many challenges, it's how you grow from your past that defines who you are in
life
. You may feel alone, misunderstood, and unfulfilled with your
life
or personal relationships. Perhaps you're having intense negative emotions. People typically enter therapy when they are in distress, although it's usually the long-term and underlying struggles that concern them the most. Initially, we will work quickly to address your immediate pain and provide relief. As therapy progresses, our focus may shift so you develop more positive and enriching relationships with yourself and others.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
