With over three decades of experience in the field of helping professions, I have had the privilege of working with diverse age groups and addressing a wide spectrum of life issues. Throughout my career, I have maintained a keen interest in unraveling the motivations behind human behavior and understanding the catalysts for positive behavioral transformations.
My journey into the realm of human behavior began during my extensive 24-year tenure in the United States Air Force. During this time, I assumed roles as a Substance Abuse Counselor, Mental Health Technician, and Instructional Designer for Professional Military Education schools, all of which deepened my passion for comprehending the intricacies of human behavior.
Following my military service, I expanded my expertise by becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Specialist in School Psychology, and a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. My professional path has led me to various settings, including private practice, partial hospital programs, foster care family homes, and the public-school system. Presently, I offer leadership development coaching services within the confines of my private practice.
In my capacity as a leadership coach, I assist leaders and managers in gaining insight into their leadership behaviors and their impact on organizational productivity. Together, we work towards cultivating robust self-management skills, enhancing interpersonal abilities, nurturing leader integrity and fortifying leader competence.
On a personal note, I wholeheartedly embraced the principles I advocate to my clients. I am dedicated to my ongoing personal growth, constantly striving to reach a new level of self-leadership. My aim is not only to lead myself effectively but also to serve as an inspiration for others to embark on the same transformative journey.
