I am a retired high tech executive who has embarked on a career as a life coach specializing in addiction counseling. As a State-certified counselor, I’ve helped men from 20 to 60 years of age and from many backgrounds. However, having worked in the corporate world, I’m uniquely qualified to help people struggling with substance abuse in high pressure environments. Addiction is a secondary issue in my view. The problem is most people approach life in a reactive, rather than proactive mode. This usually results in sub-optimal outcomes. I will help you with personal and professional life planning to get your life on track.

I specialize in working with veterans, first responders and their families who have experienced trauma and want to heal. Understanding and treating the effects trauma, as well as recognizing and understanding the unique challenges and barriers for these communities is essential for the healing process. Additionally, I am a Clinical Supervisor through the Oregon Board of Licensed Social Workers. I am currently accepting supervisees working towards licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

I believe that all people are wired for connection. We want to be at peace with ourselves, and we want to feel secure in our relationships. However, life experiences, and how we make sense of them, often get in our way. My work as a counselor is to help clients of all ages see themselves and their world more clearly, by cutting through the negative messaging and reconnecting with their wise self. This is done with an attitude of compassionate, even playful, curiosity, recognizing we are all figuring it out as we go.
