Introduction: I'm a life coach, consciousness coach, public speaker, and author of The Consciousness Paradigm. I'm passionate about helping people build more fulfilling and rewarding lives. My approach is to help people discover the best within themselves, understand what motivates them at the deepest levels, resolve internal conflicts and doubts, shore up weaknesses in their approach to life, and apply their greatest strengths to living their best life.
I've helped clients find meaning and purpose in life; overcome depression, trauma and grief; undo bad habits and build new ones; rewire their thinking; eliminate negativity; shield themselves from drama and toxic behaviors; erase painful memories, guilt, and shame; grow spiritually; build better relationships; and find peace, love and joy in life.
My background prior to becoming a coach and speaker is I worked for many years as a family lawyer, so I saw every day how less than optimal thinking, counter-productive habits, and less than optimal approaches to life led to a lot of misery. My passion for truly helping people led me to leave the practice of law. I wanted to give people the tools and help they needed to avoid the miseries of life BEFORE they happened. Adding to that I intensively studied how our minds work, and how best to use them to create the lives we want. I've studied the perennial wisdom from Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. I've also studied metaphysics, philosophy, and psychology as it relates to how our minds shape our realities, our ability to successfully create what we desire, and our ability to experience peace, love and happiness.
