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.

While I am not a Vocational Counselor, most of the individuals with whom I've worked to provide career type counseling did not need vocational testing to select a career. What they did need was a place to brainstorm ideas about a career move or an occupation change, someone to provide coaching about how to answer interview questions, complete a resume, and get on all the social media sites, such as Linkedin. Someone to help them sort out fears, emotional processes, or other people, that may be holding them back from moving forward. Any of us can get in a comfortable rut and remain stagnant and unhappy. I will help you access motivation to make a change.

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.

Let's figure out your purpose in life - not just your job. I love to help people figure out what gets them "in the zone" where they love what they are doing.

That's when we can figure out what your unique talent and skills are. Life is not meant to be just tolerated: let's figure out what you love to do!

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.
