Therapy & Coaching
In my therapy practice and online coaching, I work with adult individuals and couples seeking greater levels of freedom, connection, and fulfillment. The work focuses on breaking old patterns and getting you unstuck, while encouraging and equipping you with what you need for high performance living—expressing the best version of who you are. Whether it’s helping you break free from anxiety, develop leadership skills in the workplace or take your marriage to deeper levels of intimacy, I have the privilege of participating and observing the transformation process firsthand—a gift I never take for granted.

Speaking & Training
I present on a range of topics aimed at making the evidenced-based principles of psychology easy-to-understand and apply in your daily life, whether that’s showing you how to free the mind from worries or de-energize problematic feelings or cultivate new patterns of living that improve your relationships and wellbeing—to name a few. One of the most popular topics is a user-friendly application of mindfulness I developed called the Two-Screen Method, which shows you what to do inside your head—the specific mental and emotional steps—that defuse problematic thoughts and feelings.
