I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 30 years of experience in the human services and mental health fields. He now lives on Oahu after living most of his life in Colorado. I have experience with adults, teens, and couples to improve their interpersonal relationships and create balance and stability. I can also work with teams corporate and industrial teams to increase emotional intelligence, cohesion & performance, and safety. I obtained his BSc of Psychology from Texas A&M University (’87) then obtained my Master of Clinical Psychology (’03) after working for a decade with adults with intellectual disabilities and adults with chronic mental illness. I continued his post-graduate studies through Capella University to help build knowledge and perspectives for his work in private practice where he specialized in rehabilitative counseling with court ordered clients dealing with family violence issues. I currently work full time as a contractor for the Departments of the Navy and Air Force at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam. Prior to this amazing opportunity, I owned Caledonia Counseling (2005-2022), based in the Denver area, after completing his graduate school and offered contract services to other agencies and community mental health providers. My practice focused on rehabilitative counseling with court-ordered clients trying to break the cycle of violence in the relationships and families.
It is my mission in life to help make the world a more peaceful and safer place. On Valentine’s Day 2018, I founded a 501c3 nonprofit organization, STudents & Athletes for Healthy RelationshipS to make schools safer from teen dating violence, sexual assaults, and bullying. STAHRS.org is the mechanism he uses to reach high school and college students to help them to understand and develop healthy relationships while recognizing and avoiding abusive relationship patterns. I believe that “playing” is critical for stress management and he loves water, frozen or liquid. He loves skiing, snorkeling and scuba diving, sailing, and fishing as well as golf, camping, cooking, and travel.
