Derek is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Wellness Coach specializing in trauma recovery, performance enhancement, and mindfulness. Drawing on his background as a former NCAA wrestler, professional ballroom dancer, and improv comedian, Derek combines personal insight with a holistic, evidence-based approach. He works with individuals of all ages and disciplines, including elite athletes, performers, executives, veterans, and others seeking change, supporting them with personalized strategies suited to their unique needs.
Through evidence-based techniques such as imagery, hypnotherapy, NLP, DBT, ACT, CBT, and more, Derek helps clients reprogram limiting beliefs and address challenges related to ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, substance use, sports performance, impulse control, and more—empowering them to lead a 'limitless' life, both mentally and physically.
Research highlights the powerful mental health benefits of regular exercise, and the best results come when physical and mental health are addressed together. At Synergy Health and Wellness, we combine tailored counseling services with exercise programs, creating a holistic approach that enhances both your mind and body for lasting, overall improvement.
