I can address the following issues with clients:

Life Coaching

  • Perspective shaping: We will take a deep dive into your life circumstances, relationships and problems and discuss how you think and feel about them. We will begin to replace exaggeration, catastrophizing, and negative thinking with positive and healthy perspectives. Optimism, positivity and realistic thinking are all compatible!
  • Fun and Joy: Why so serious? We will discuss the importance of having fun and how to do it. Easy for some and hard for others! But I am an expert at having fun, so you will make progress fast, lol. Life should be enjoyed, so let's get to work now!
  • Marriage Building: Whether you are new to marriage, suffering from infidelity, or having trouble after many years, we will talk about what you may have forgotten about healthy, loving relationships. And we will discuss simple ways to love and respect each other while building back trust, friendship and romance. A little work can go a long way!
  • Loving Relationships: Learn to have loving, caring, respectful, and even fun and playful relationships with others. Spending time with me working on this, will pay incredible dividends in life. No big deal - it's only the #1 secret to maximizing happiness on earth!
  • Confidence, self-worth, identity: We will discuss why human life ALWAYS has value, the causes of low self-worth, why confidence is important, but not as critical as being genuine/real, and how identifying a special purpose and/or mission in your life can totally transform your thoughts, feelings and identity!
  • Parenting: The toughest and most fulfilling job you'll ever have (but only if you take it seriously!) We will discuss simple and effective methods for reinforcing positive behaviors and de-incentivizing negative behaviors. The key is consistency, firmness (and gentleness) and knowing your child's personality. It's so hard, but I have 5 kids, so you're going to want to talk to me, lol.
  • Full Christian Life: Don't pick and choose only teachings you find easiest to live. "My yoke is easy and my burden light", is true only if we surrender completely to his love, which can sometimes only be found on the cross. We will discuss and discover the joy of living a full Christian life. Your salvation is worth it!
  • Virtue Building: Don't get stuck in your vices. Break free from being a slave to comfort, pleasure, and possessions that are meaningless beyond the grave. Replace greed, envy and pride with generosity, gratitude and humility. Why? 1) You'll have more and better friends! 2) You'll begin to love and respect yourself in a healthy way. 3) Many other reasons. Ask me!
