He has a rare ability to cut through the noise and see straight to the heart of any challenge. During some of my most difficult moments, he guided me with clarity and compassion, helping me find strength and perspective I didn’t know I had. His wisdom is simple, practical, and profoundly grounding—I’m deeply grateful for his mentorship.

I was not looking for someone or something to change my life completely when I just met Rick. I wanted off the hamster wheel of my problems, and everything I tried seemed to make the wheel spin more (and sometimes faster). I just wanted my painful and fearful thoughts and emotions – the chatter in my mind – to be quiet. But I couldn’t stop it. Rick has a very strong insight, combined with a wide variety of life experiences and learned skills that allow him to listen with no filters, then then home in on the thing that is the real issue. “Let’s look at that!” is frequent what I hear when I am sharing a story or situation.
Just having a conversation, he senses, hears, sees something to explore below the surface and that has led to getting to root causes and allow healing for me that I never imagined possible. Whether it’s been family, work, financial, or even physical, I have been able to heal and let go of so much that was keeping me from life, from living.
However, he has changed my life. Personally, I then wanted more than a problem solved. I wanted to heal on a deeper level. I truly feel peace, calm and okay! I no longer feel like something is wrong with me, like I am unfixable. It was really just things I have that I could not see for myself, and anyone else I tried did not have the insight or the skills to see the root cause, to uproot the weeds & plant good seeds in new, good soil. There is not an area in my life that has not been drastically changed – I have healed past hurts, improved my work home/daily life, and have experienced physical changes. I have released lifelong fears. I finally like me, and I like my life, and have good friendships and am no longer anxious about my finances.
Rick helped me find my breath, my voice, and my freedom. These things were never really gone – but Rick helped me clear the things hiding them, some things had been held onto and carried my entire life, from early childhood. If you have any hesitancy, let me promise you taking the first steps of reaching out and just speaking to Rick is SO worth it! At first I was pushed by pain to seek a relief. But some things – relationships, especially – I needed someone to see what I wasn’t seeing, couldn’t see. Change can be scary – it was terrifying for me and I hated it! But worse is staying stuck, stagnant and settling for less than you really want and deserve.
Patience, humor, understanding, and a heart for helping others are what Rick bring to the conversation at first. Then add in his vast and super focused observation skills, troubleshooting abilities, real life experiences, and his ability to relate to just about everything on a high level, and you will experience changes or growth in your life. It can’t not happen if you are willing to be present just work through. It sounds simple, it is not always easy. But it is always worth it.
He has never once judged me for anything I have shared. Some of our experiences are quite similar, and I feel his understanding. He went to the ‘School of Hard Knocks’ too. He gets it. I think this makes him even easier to talk to – he’s lived it. Rick has probably been right where you are, or something close. When he says to you, “Can we take a look at that?” trust me – he heard something very much worth looking at. And once you find it, Rick’s huge toolbox has something in it to help you work with it, heal it, dissolve it, make it better. He’s right there, walking through it with you. You do not go through it alone.
If you really want a better life experience, don’t wait any longer. It is already painful – and things just don’t go away. Rick does not have a magic wand – but the gift of Presence he will share with you seven better – the “magic” of Presence affects all areas of your life, becomes a gift you can then share with others.
No better time than the Present.

I was initially hesitant when I was referred to Rick. Growing up, therapy carried a heavy stigma, especially for men, and I wasn’t sure it was for me. Once I got to know him and experienced his thoughtful approach, I began to let my guard down.
Rick has a remarkable ability to offer clear, practical guidance. His insights not only helped me work through personal challenges but also had a real impact on my business, something I hadn’t expected, but deeply appreciate.
I’ve come to trust Rick not just as a coach and therapist, but as a true confidant. I honestly believe he has a solid answer, or at least the right questions for almost any problem life throws at you.

He came into my life exactly when I needed him most, and I know in my heart that was no coincidence! He was truly God sent.
In some of my hardest moments, Rick gave me hope, strength, and a safe space where I could heal and grow. He doesn’t just listen, he sees you, believes in you, and helps you find the courage within yourself.
Rick has a rare gift for guiding people through pain into purpose. His impact doesn’t just touch the surface it completely changes your heart, your perspective, and your life. I am forever grateful for him!

Rick just has an uncanny way of making me feel better. Without me knowing, he can guide me to see what I deep down know about myself, but can’t recognize or I blatantly choose to ignore; instilling and encouraging change.
Rick is a mentor and a confidant in so many aspects of my life and I hope he will stay that way for at least a thousand years. He truly inspires me (in a WWRD sort of way) to be better…for my sake.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Rick almost all my life. When he started this journey to help others, I was so proud that he chose to do what I believe he was destined to do.
I’ve had many ups and downs in my life and one of the consistent things has been my ability to work through these issues with Rick.
He has always been someone I could rely on to answer the phone and help walk me through what I believe to be the worst times in my life. He’s helped me focus my thoughts and realize what power I had to deal with all aspects of my life.
One thing I’ve learned dealing with him is that he will not judge nor jump to conclusions and really cares about everyone he works with.
Rick takes the time to not only deal with the issues at hand, but also the underlying issues that help make you a better person in life.
Not only does he provide sound feedback on situations that are in my control, but also helps me understand that some things are out of my control and reassures me I’m on the right track.
I can say that my life wouldn’t be the same without having Rick in it to provide me with the support and guidance that he has.
If you’re on the fence, just do it. Give him the opportunity to help you in the way he’s helped me.

I have been to many counselors over the years, but working with Rick has been truly life-changing. He has a remarkable gift for listening deeply and offering practical tools that actually work.
Through his guidance, I’ve been able to confront and release the pain from my childhood that I held onto for so many years. It wasn’t easy, but by trusting the process, I’ve transformed into a healed and whole woman.
When I first began, I felt lost and without purpose, but Rick helped me open up, trust again, and learn how to love and live fully. I am forever grateful for the difference he has made in my life.
I wish everyone knew of Rick. I truly cannot believe I’m a changed woman because of him. I thought change only happened to other people. I didn’t know my heart could heal too. I thought I was damaged goods (no we aren’t!)
It’s hard to even put into words the work Rick has done in me. I wish everyone had a “Rick” to help them with the most precious and painful parts inside, the parts that are so hard to share with anyone. For years I held onto pain I didn’t even realize was still there.
With Rick, I finally trusted enough to open up after three or four years of counseling. It took time, but I’ve learned that consistency changes everything. Showing up week after week for my sessions is what allowed the healing to happen.
Rick is not like any other counselor. If he knows you need more, he tells you. He encourages you to trust the process, be patient, and do the work. I honestly don’t know what I would do without him. Rick has completely transformed my life — and most importantly, I am healed.
I would recommend Rick to everyone if I could, though I know he can’t help everybody. Still, I’m forever grateful.
Thank you so much Rick for all you have done, most importantly for giving me my life back.

Back in 2018, I felt completely hopeless. Rick asked me to give him two weeks, and I agreed. I’ve never looked back.
During that time, he counseled me as often as I needed and guided me through one of the hardest periods of my life.
Rick helped me bring out the best version of myself. Once I gained the tools and light he gave me, so many wonderful opportunities began to flow into my life. Even now, I continue to seek his help and guidance.
It’s also hard for me to watch someone struggle. That’s why I’ve referred him
to many friends and family members, and he has been able to help them, too—through all stages and challenges of life.
If you’re hurting or suffering, I know he can help you as well!
