About Me

I've been where you are.

I’m a former successful business owner who changed career paths at age 49 and went to graduate school to become a clinical psychotherapist. I’m also an elite golfer who has played in 35+ national championships around the world. I’ve felt the ups and downs, the euphoria and distress, the ecstasy and heartbreak. I have quit entirely, started over, changed gears, and gone all in again. I’m better equipped to help you because I’ve been where you are!
