For 20 years I’ve been a practicing clinical psychologist. I’m also the author of 5 bestselling books and the founder of the Mindful Living Collective. And I know EXACTLY what it is like to be the victim of this inner struggle going the wrong way.
I’ve always been a seeker of something better, reading self-help books through my teenage and college years. I dabbled quite a bit until the night I hit rock bottom. I asked myself, “Is THIS it? Is THIS the life you really want for yourself?” I decided I would do whatever it would take to change.
So, with the help of my family and friends, I was inspired to embark on a journey to turn my life around. I started soaking up new ideas, meditation practices, and the supportive energy of the right people. I realized at that point that I not only wanted to help myself, but be a source of inspiration for others in the world who were struggling.
Today, I am the author of five bestselling books and Leader of a global community-based emotional health program called Uncover the Power Within. An ongoing therapeutic coaching program that will free you from your emotional struggle. This is for people who want to reclaim their lives, but are too stuck in their heads to make meaningful progress. If you feel like there’s something more for you in this chapter of life, and you don’t know how to get there, this program is for you. Each week includes live therapeutic coaching calls, access to daily support, and a proven program to take control of your mind and life. If you are serious about making real shifts with your emotional health and you want the right mentorship and support – click here for a free consult with our team.
I’m also a father to three boys, a husband and someone who loves being silly at times. My mission is to help you uncover the inspiration inside and outside of you so you can live what feels like your most genuine life.
There are many ways that I can help you, no matter where you are on your healing journey.
Let’s start with some Videos from my YouTube Channel where I drop weekly practical mental health tips!
“On my YouTube channel I put out weekly episodes where I give practical coaching, tips and advice on living a more inspired life.

As a clinical psychologist, author and someone who has been through the trenches in his personal life – I have learned a lot about the human condition. I know that the way to accelerate our healing and happiness is through the right teachings and practices – but that’s not it. We need the right people around us and we need access to daily mentorship.
This is why I created a personalized coaching program that people have called “A Mental Health Accelerator” to help bring to life the inspirations we all need to heal from psychological suffering or get what we need to live our most inspired lives. One member said, “Like so many of you, this has changed and saved my life in so many ways… Never did I dream, in the depths of my despair, that I would be able to live in the hope and peace in which I now do.” Uncover the Power Within is my best way of staying connected to you, with daily access to me, an incredible community and the teachings you need to help you expand, heal and grow.
