Great to meet you!

I have over three decades as a leader by inspiring, coaching, speaking, and most importantly, leading by example, my views have been uniquely and carefully shaped. I embrace my “in the trenches” clinical approach and believe that leadership is a conscious decision made moment to moment, it supersedes gender, culture, position, or socio-economic status. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone and every day...it’s how we should live. I was a competitive collegiate football athlete and a champion both nationally and internationally in bodybuilding, health and fitness. I currently hold over 27 titles in bodybuilding and have conducted numerous workshops on Wellness / Fitness. Finally, I am a former consulting therapist for the National Basketball Association and served on the board of advisors for The Shoulder, Inc., Harris County, and awarded past Outstanding Young Men in America. I look forward to meeting you and designing a plan to help you meet your personal goals now and in the future.

My approach to therapy

My first approach to therapy is. "But for the grace of God go I." In meeting my new clients, I immediately try to empathize with them to understand the situation that they are confronted with. Subsequent to that, my main concern is meeting them where they are in the moment by establishing rapport. Once rapport is established, I then began to take the client on the journey of self-disclosure as well as me understanding more about who they are so I can provide them with the wisdom and knowledge that I have. I believe there are four principles that I rest my therapy intervention on which are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. I believe you have to have all four aspects in order to have the kind of experience that the person can utilize far beyond the therapy and invention.

What you can expect from me

Client can expect me to be interested in all aspects of their life. Not just the side that is in repair. I enjoy whole person counseling. I look forward to getting to know more about you, what makes you unique and what makes you special in your life and in the lives of those who are within your sphere of influence.
