Hi, i'm Ken, a counselor, fitness trainer, and meditation coach in private practice. Before becoming a therapist I served in the US Army including a tour in Iraq, and then worked as a kickboxer in Thailand, and as a fitness trainer at Southeastern Louisiana University. I received a PhD at the University of New Orleans with a dissertation studying the associations between martial arts practice and anxiety management.
What sets me apart from my peers is a mechanism and results-driven approach that utilizes tactics backed by biology and performance research. All of the validation, empathy, challenging, and investigation of classical counseling is still in play, but there is a drive to conduct action steps framed by scientific understanding, measure for effect, and iterate with feedback from your real-world results.
Working with me will be much like working with an executive performance coach, but augmented by the best practices of humanistic counseling. We will drive toward seeing your mood, cognitive clarity, health, energy level, relationships, and lifestyle increment toward notable and sustained improvement. And we will measure and pace this by your current emotional and energetic limits. While I seek to help you go as far as you ever wanted to achieve, I also seek to meet you where you are.
