Career Counseling and Coaching in San Carlos Park, 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.

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.

Psychologists are trained in career coaching, as we have to take specialized courses in vocational assessment/counseling. When you are looking for a coach in this area, please ensure you are doing your homework and finding someone who is ACTUALLY trained in the specifics behind career counseling. This type of work can be extremely helpful when combined with proper assessment (e.g., STRONG inventory) that can guide us on your values, while also tuning into who YOU are - what you are saying and NOT saying that helps us to guide you on finding a career that will fuel you to feel energized about your life. My dad always used to say, do what. you love and you'll never work a day in your life!

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.

When I retired from professional football, I went on to work for the NFL to help other players navigate the difficult process of transitioning careers. This, combined with my education in counseling and life coaching, positions me well to help you discern what’s next for your career. I'll use an honest and supportive approach in our time together.

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.
