Your Habit Aficionado & Coach

Change takes time. You want a coach with the strength, insight, and humor to help you navigate the process. You also want someone who will give you a kick in the seat of your pants when necessary. That's me. Well, not in this picture, but you get the idea.

My pledge to you
  • I offer compassionate, no BS accountability.
  • I won't sugercoat anything about your behavior.
  • I will ask hard, thought-provoking  questions.
  • I will encourage and support you to tackle your goals one bite size step at a time.
  • I will challenge every excuse you make.
  • I won't offer counseling or therapeutic advice.
  • I will teach you how to use various tools like NSDR, breathing techniques, if/then statements, etc.
  • If I realize you're not ready to make a change, I'll tell you, and we'll part ways. No harm, no foul.

 

 

AP Journal & More

My niche is positive, behavioral, and neuro-psychology. I focus on topics ranging from Flow Theory and well-being to positive aging, and more. I love teaching people how to improve their lives incrementally with unexpected rewards along the way.

I especially enjoy writing about how to apply the research to everyday life. For example, how can learning MBSR reduce the number of migraines a person experiences? How does willpower affect our ability to establish healthful habits?

You can read some of my work on the Positive Psychology Program website. Articles include:
