Feeling stuck or burned out in your job or career, and not sure how to move forward?

Stressed about a life transition like marriage, fatherhood, or a relationship change?

Are you an athlete dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, or getting to the next level?

Hi, I'm Michael

I help men conquer stress, get clarity on their problems, and take action to get back on track.

The Power of Counseling

Ambition, self-determination, stoicism. These are strong characteristics that men rely on.


Historically, these traits have dissuaded men from seeking help. Fortunately, this is changing.


Today, men are realizing how powerful counseling can be, and some high profile athletes are speaking out.


NFL quarterback Steve Young recently disclosed he suffered with anxiety for years before he got help. And Olympian Michael Phelps, also having benefitted from therapy, is a huge advocate for men's mental health.


Life, like sports, is challenging. Counseling can help you with those challenges, and get you back in the game.

How It Works - The Counseling Process

Awareness

Step One is about increasing your self-awareness. You'll get clear on the beliefs, thoughts and behaviors that are magnifying your stress and keeping you stuck.

Skill Building

In Step Two you'll learn the skills to stop stress and negativity in their tracks. Your energy will instead go toward creating positive thoughts and solutions. As negative patterns fade, your confidence grows.

Better Habits

In Step Three, your awareness and skills are strengthened through personalized habits. With regular practice, these habits become automatic and ensure your sustained progress.

A New Level

Step Four galvanizes your awareness, skills, and habits, so that you reach a new level, where you're in control, where you feel confident to handle whatever life brings you.
