Career Counseling and Coaching in Naples, Florida.

I started my journey to psychotherapy and counseling by getting life and work experience first. I assumed that a wide range of experiences is necessary for the career of psychotherapist, counselor or coach. I was an employee as well as an employer. I worked several years in international business around the world, I worked in hospitals, in schools, and I ran a school of my own. I worked in a public as well as in private sector. I help clients to find their potential and to become who they want to be. I help clients to find their passions and to exceed. I help clients to find greater fulfillment in their careers and to balance their work and personal life.

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.

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.

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.

Choosing an initial career path or making a career change can feel daunting. Maybe you feel immense pressure to get it right from the start and end up feeling completely overwhelmed because of the amount of choices there are. I challenge you to reframe and stop thinking about what happens if you make the wrong choice; think about what your life will look like with the perfect career for you and go from there! Making the right choice starts with understanding your values, skills, and interests. We'll start there and work together through talk therapy and assessments to find the career that fits into your ideal lifestyle.

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. Sometimes life gets in the way of figuring out your real talents and skills. We may originally take a job for money, and then one day realize that your are not happy. 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!
