If you live in the Dallas area and don’t mind traffic, we can meet at my office space; otherwise we meet online in a secure video chat. Some appointments are most accessible with a phone call.
Good question. It’s coaching. I’m not diagnosing, treating mental health conditions, or digging deep into your childhood. That’s definitely the stuff of counseling.
That said, I bring 20+ years of therapy experience into the room. I simply desire to help you be the best you can be. If we find out that you would benefit more from psychotherapy then I will help you make that transition to a trusted counselor.
You can rest assured that I will give you what you need. If a therapeutic tool/technique will help you thrive, I will offer that. Whatever I can offer from my varied experiences from helping people through the years, I want to be free to do that. This is the main reason I am pursuing a coaching pathway.

Mostly men in their late 30s to 50s. Professionals. Husbands. Dads. Singles. Leaders.
In many areas of life you’re actually doing well. Sometimes killing it. And yet… something feels off. Flat. Disconnected. Like you’re just going through the motions.
You’re not falling apart. You’re just tired of coasting.
That’s my wheelhouse.
We slow things down and get honest. Then we move.
We look at where your life is out of alignment with what actually matters to you.
From there, we identify real course corrections. Small ones. Big ones. Practical ones.
Most sessions consist of several aspects: a thorough discussion about your current reality: your experience with your at-home exercise, your observations, experiences the past few weeks; then we synthesize what’s most helpful (or what’s not applicable); from there we clarify key learning points and adapt those to your coaching goals, finally delineating clear action steps to complete before next session.
Not at all.
My faith shapes who I am and how I see people. It’s not something I push. If you want to integrate spiritual practices, we can. If not, we won’t.
Coaching is about helping you live with integrity and purpose. My personal values and faith position me to help you achieve this.
Most coaches haven’t sat with people dealing with real pain. I have. For two decades.
That matters. My clinical, and now, long life experience will benefit you.
My pragmatic, yet contemplative approach fits most personalities.
One last point. Most coaches refrain from giving advice or offering suggestions. I deeply value not wasting your time or money. You are hoping and paying for actual direction. I also value no-bs or no-nonsense, so if I feel that a solution will break it open for you, I am going to offer that. Don’t go with the other coach who will wait for you to ‘find your solution.’
As long as it’s useful for you. Some people work with me for a few months to get unstuck.
Others stick around longer because the work keeps evolving.
I have structured a few packages with discounted incentives. I will check in frequently to make sure our work is aligning with your goals and outcomes.
If you’re asking the question, that’s probably enough indication that you will benefit from an objective perspective.
Most of the people I work with aren’t in crisis. They’re just quietly dissatisfied.
That voice saying, There’s got to be more than this, isn’t going away.
You can keep pushing it down. Or we can listen to it together and figure out what exactly it’s asking for.
