| Hello!
I possess a unique and varied background with a strong personal goal of
helping individuals improve their lives by means of personal counseling
and coaching. My training as a counselor and life transition coach blends
with my work experience as a business owner/entrepreneur and my various
life experiences in such a way that I can offer my clients perspectives
from multiple points of view. This flexibility has been enhanced through
my work and travels to different cultures around the world including countries
in Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean. I have also experienced life in the
military, having spent 13 months as a U.S. Marine in Viet Nam. My formal
education includes a Masters Degrees in both Counseling (MA Mental Health
Counseling) and Business Administration (MBA). In addition to my general
training as a mental health counselor, I have also received specific training
working with individuals who have experienced abuse, whether it be physical,
sexual, or emotional. I have counseled clients ranging in age from 8 years
old to individuals well into their 60's. My experience and education allow
me to be especially helpful to individuals in any developmental stage
who are in a period of life transition. For example:
-
Adult
men and women who want more out of life, including finding more meaningful
expressions in their work and their personal relationships.
-
Teenagers
who need help sorting through the emerging challenges of adulthood,
including career and school choices, parental problems, and issues
of sexuality.
-
Military
Veterans, especially current Iraq War Veterans (and their spouses),
returning home and adjusting to civilian life and, in particular,
the sometimes-difficult task of reintegration into American family
life.
-
Immigrants
to the US: the complexities of learning and adjusting to the American
way of life and learning to cope with "missing home."
