Who are you?
On paper, life is as it should be. But you have a nagging feeling that SOMETHING IS MISSING. You just can’t figure out WHAT.
YOU WANT MORE. More success, more love, more fun, more meaning. You know it’s out there . . . but WHERE?
Life is good… However, it would be much better if it didn’t involve other PEOPLE. Family, partners, and colleagues are KILLING YOU’RE VIBE.
You SHOULD on yourself. You SHOULD . . . exercise, eat clean, manage your time, manage your mindset, be a great partner, be an even better parent, and don’t forget self-care. It’s overwhelming and seems like TOO MUCH WORK.
You know people who ENJOY THEIR JOBS, you’re just not one of them. It seems like you’re going to be on this HAMSTER WHEEL FOREVER.
Life is AMAZING. How do you make it EVEN BETTER? You know that there’s always a NEW ADVENTURE ahead. You just need help finding it.
HOW IS LIFE THIS HARD?!?! Every day is the same nightmare as the one before. This has to be ROCK BOTTOM because it definitely can’t get any worse.
It’s just one of those days – EVERY DAY. “You don't really know why but you wanna justify . . .” EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is PISSING YOU OFF!
NUMB is putting it mildly. You could get a life-changing raise, find out your spouse is leaving you, win an all-expense-paid holiday to Bali, find out “You are NOT the father”. . . YOU FEEL NOTHING.
What MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES? This has been a WAR, an endless battle to keep it together. The enemy never retreats, and you CAN’T KEEP FIGHTING.
You are SCARED all the time. You wake up AFRAID to face the day and go to bed WORRIED about what tomorrow will bring.
You promise yourself that tomorrow will be different. You will make BETTER CHOICES. But you CAN’T. You’ve LOST all CONTROL and ALL HOPE FOR CHANGE.
No matter who you are . . .
There IS a solution.
My name is Mike, and I’ve been on each of those lists at some point in my life. I've battled with Addiction, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I’ve also been left dissatisfied and wanting more even after the fight was over and the smoke cleared. I knew people were living fun, successful lives, but I also knew I would never be one of them.
Today, I live a life of purpose, adventure, and success both personally and professionally. How is that possible? It’s simple. An easy-to-follow map was handed to me by those who blazed the trail. With this map, I was able to make SMALL CHANGES in thought and action that led to BIG RESULTS.
Counseling was the catalyst for those changes. First, it guided me out of the hell of addiction and depression. Then it gave me the tools and skills to build a solid foundation for life. As things improved, my goals shifted, and coaching provided me with the direction and confidence to truly pursue the life I wanted; to become the man I never thought I could be.
It has been over 10 years since then, and life keeps getting better. Now my mission is to hand this map to YOU and be your guide to a fun and exciting future.

Wellbeing
What’s more important? PHYSICAL or MENTAL HEALTH? People who struggle with mental health are more likely to suffer from a preventable illness, while people who stay active report a greater ability to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. It’s a catch-22! But BALANCE is 100% possible.
Know what it’s like to:
Have the ENERGY, MENTAL CLARITY, and CONFIDENCE required for real, positive, and lasting change.

Depression
5% of ALL adults experience some form of depression. If you are one of them, you know firsthand the WRECKAGE and DEVASTATION it causes. You may not be able to leave your bed or shower for days. You may be angry or sad all the time. You may wonder if you will ever feel happy again…. OR you may feel nothing at all. No matter how depression shows up in your life, it’s time to QUIT WATCHING life from the sidelines and START MAKING PLAYS.
With help, it IS possible to:
“Rebuild your brain” and DECREASE the severity and length of DEPRESSIVE EPISODES.
Treat your mind without additional emotional trauma. Depression is something you have, NOT WHO YOU ARE.
Run your symptoms before they run you. IDENTIFY and MANAGE TRIGGERS that send you spiraling.
HEAL PAST TRAUMA and other underlying causes that fuel the fire.
-
Anxiety
Your heart is racing, and you can’t shake that feeling of IMPENDING DOOM. You constantly scan your mind for the reason. NOTHING and EVERYTHING. You aren’t alone. Nearly one-third of ALL American adults have experienced an anxiety disorder. The good news is that there is HOPE for those who seek a solution. Many clients who use counseling services report improvement within their first few sessions.
You CAN:
REDUCE or ELIMINATE SYMPTOMS in a short period without medication.
CALM YOUR MIND even when it's running off the rails. REGAIN CONTROL in stressful situations and reestablish your peace.
RECOGNIZE the WARNING SIGNS specific to you and take action BEFORE things get overwhelming.
REDIRECT YOUR ANXIETY to benefit you. That energy has to go somewhere. Why not USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE?
-
Addiction
Why can’t you STOP? If only it were that easy. You’ve TRIED EVERYTHING a million times, or maybe this is the first time you suspect you may NEED HELP. Almost 50 million people suffered from a substance use disorder in 2022. YOU don’t have to be one of them anymore. ESCAPE the prison of ADDICTION and get back in the driver’s seat of YOUR LIFE.
I know firsthand what it takes to:
Jump off the merry-go-round and REGAIN DIRECTION. YOU GET TO DECIDE instead of drugs and alcohol making the choices for you.
HEAL YOUR BODY and reverse damage caused by years of abuse. Begin to treat yourself with the LOVE AND CARE YOU DESERVE.
Lose the need to numb your FEELINGS and learn to use them as your SECRET WEAPON.
Have REAL FUN again. EXPERIENCE the JOY that only comes from true PEACE OF MIND and FREEDOM FROM ADDICTION.

My life experience qualifies me almost as much as the letters beside my name. I’VE BEEN THERE. I understand the desire for change and, even more, how to MAKE IT HAPPEN. My life’s mission is now to work with people who are seeking a genuine solution, rather than focusing on the problem. If that sounds like you, then you’re in the right place.

No, nothing in life is. However, it is doubtful that you won’t experience noticeable and lasting benefits. Many of my clients find that the goals they set for themselves fell short of how far they were able to go.

There is no one answer for this one. It depends on a variety of factors, including but not limited to:
YOU and your desire for change.
I can help you discover and understand the WHY and WHAT. I can give you the tools that can help answer the HOW. But only YOU can provide the WHERE and WHEN. You will have to take the action that makes REAL CHANGE possible.

Aside from some initial bookkeeping, it will primarily be an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit.
