I've had struggles in my life... we all have. I believe that those struggles help to teach us and arm us with the wisdom and tools we need to better serve God's children and make an impact on this world.

One of my greatest struggles has been depression, lack of self-love, and feelings of unworthiness.

I spent much of my adolescence hating myself. It has taken years of work, internal, spiritual, energy, etc. to release the decades of negativity.

I didn't graduate college.

Even the people closest to me doubted I could be successful without a degree... They may honestly still doubt it.

I spent a lot of time working to get other certifications, always trying to gain credentials to prove something...

As I've continued in my journey of self-development, learning and love. I have come to learn that it's not about the credentials, it's about discovering and honing your gifts.

You are the ONLY you that exists. God has given you gifts, it's your duty to discover and develop them.

This is something that I've come to know as I've worked to develop my gifts.

Now about you.

You may have struggled with similar things, mental health, self-doubt, maybe just lack of clarity or fulfillment in your life.

That's where I can help you.

This is something that I feel God wants me to do. I've learned a lot through my personal experiences and through my continued education through my coaches, mentors, and certifications. Not that the credentials matter.

I have struggles with depression since I was a teen and ADHD for nearly a decade (diagnosed after I dropped out of college, who knew?). With the tools, frameworks, and skills that I've developed I've been able to cure my depression.

Story time.
I was in a really bad depressive episode for most of 2019 and it culminated in May 2020. There was over a week where my depression was debilitating... my goal each day was to get out of bed long enough to give my wife and kids a kiss and tell them I love them. It was that bad. If it was a REALLY good day, I would add a shower and maybe making a meal in there. I wasn't functional. Medication wasn't working anymore. Therapy wasn't helping. That's when I started my journey into discovering other ways... because I couldn't live like this anymore. It wasn't fair to my family.

Fast forward to today. Would I go as far as to say my depression is cured? Maybe... The fact is, it's not something I worry about anymore. It doesn't even cross my mind. My worst days now, because I still do have bad days, sad days even. Are 100x better than my best days were then. Oh, important detail I almost forgot, I haven't been on medication since June 2020.

Why teens & young adults?

I've seen an influx of teens and young adults struggling with life in general, mental health, etc. and their parents aren't sure where to get them help or they can't find a therapist that is available. I'm in NO WAY claiming to be a therapist, treat mental health, or anything like that. But I really do believe that I can help.

I've been working with teens for over 10 years as a coach and teacher. I coached high school and middle school lacrosse and I've been a Sunday school teacher for my church primarily working with teenagers as well.

How can I help?

The main focus of my coaching is helping them rediscover who they are, what they love, and help them see that their biggest advantage in life is that they are the only them in existence. Things I wish I would have known when I was younger.

At the very least, a conversation wouldn't hurt. So if you want to talk to me more about working with you or one of your children, click the button below and fill out the survey, then schedule a call with me.
