Career Counseling and Coaching in Crestview, Florida.

Career counseling is designed to help with choosing, changing, or when leaving a career and is may be needed at any stage in life. Our career is often one of the most important aspects of adulthood, and embarking on a new career, whether for the first time, or any time thereafter it is something I’ve help many individuals with, particularly those departing the military service. It can be a very stressful event, especially when economic factors are involved. We can discuss and outline and potential career options, fears you may be experiencing and coping with those in various ways.

I’ve often helped my clients through difficult transitions, including changes in career. I’ve guided those in college to navigate issues of meaning, purpose, and direction, have helped middle-aged men navigate the emotional stress and financial burden of providing for kids and elderly parents, and have coached successful men through transitions around retirement, role changes, and leaving a legacy. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.

When I retired from professional football, I went on to work for the NFL to help other players navigate the difficult process of transitioning careers. This, combined with my education in counseling and life coaching, positions me well to help you discern what’s next for your career. I'll use an honest and supportive approach in our time together.

Whether you are applying for college, in college, or in a later adult stage of life, it can be difficult and confusing to determine what career path will help you to find fulfillment and long-term success. We have personal and professional experience with understanding just how tough this can be, and sometimes you even need to try different fields before you find one that is a good fit for you. We will help you explore your passions and skills and utilize therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in making progress. Talking out your thoughts and feelings with an objective professional can help you gain insight into what path you would like to take.

Career counseling with me is about aligning your professional path with your values, strengths, and goals. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, feeling stuck in your current role, or seeking greater fulfillment, I provide a supportive, tailored approach to help you gain clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll explore your passions, identify obstacles, and create actionable steps toward your ideal career. You’ll leave with greater self-awareness, practical tools, and a renewed sense of purpose to move forward successfully.

Are you a high-achieving man looking for career guidance? Executive coaching has its place, but I provide something different. I don’t give you advice, give you homework, or try to motivate you. Instead, like an emotional surgeon, I use research-proven EMDR therapy to uncover the emotional barriers and insecurities that hold you back and heal them at their source. If you’re a hard-working man on the verge of greatness, this can be the step necessary for personal and professional breakthrough. If you’re a highly successful man who's already conquered your professional goals, this process can help you recalibrate your priorities, strengthen your relationships, and leave a lasting legacy.
