MENTAL HEALTH & WELLNESS COACHING
Succeeding with Bipolar Disorder and Mental Health
Welcome to Compass Recovery Coaching
To really live a life filled with hope and freedom, you need to have an approach that puts your values into action while softening any discomfort you are experiencing. Compass Recovery Coaching has created a method that is both belief- and behavior-based.
It addresses the skill set as well as the mindset. I believe in helping people tune into their own greatness, so that they can regroup for their next leap forward.

Emotional Peace:
Strategies for Mental Health & Wellness
"In August 2002, I was hospitalized for a week with a major depressive episode and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. From that point forward, I have spent my life learning how to live with my condition on the journey from hospitalized patient to licensed healthcare professional. I have spoken nationally and internationally on occupational therapy and mental health."

Relying on my experience as an occupational therapist, I focus on constructing a meaningful quality of life using life skills that are effective and important for everybody while addressing and accommodating the needs unique to a bipolar disorder. I explore the intervention approaches of developing skills, modifying tasks, providing tools, modifying contexts, adapting environments, and developing task alternatives that allowed me to differentiate my diagnosis from my personality.
So I have a bipolar condition…now what? If you are like me, simply coping with the symptoms of the condition gets old. Living life in the paradigm of being sick gets old. So since we have a condition that is going to be with us for life, how do we live life without thinking we are sick all the time?
The pursuit of that question led me to the following conclusion: It is about building life skills, not coping with symptoms that lead to a fulfilling life.
