Career Counseling and Coaching in Sanibel, 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.

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.

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 and mindfulness coaching can help. As a Mindfulness Health and Wellness Therapists, we work one-on-one with individuals to help them improve their overall well-being. Life can be challenging and stressful; happiness is too easily fleeting… Working with a mindfulness based health and wellness coach can help you summon your inner strength and feel greater happiness and joy in your day to day life.

Are you fulfilling your purpose or are you not living into your potential? Do you wake up thinking "I was made for this" when it comes to career or do you struggle to get motivated for what lies ahead. Career satisfaction is highly correlated with life-satisfaction. Careers matter beyond how we generate an income. Learn to unblock where you are being held back. Learn the skills essential to make that next career move. Develop leadership skills to grow your company. Identify places you or your company need to make changes for your health and well-being or that of your employees. When we are happy and feel cared for at work, our productivity increases and so does our life satisfaction.

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!

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.
