No. I'm a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, not a licensed therapist or counselor. This is behavioral coaching grounded in principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a values-based, science-backed framework, not psychotherapy. If you're looking for licensed mental health treatment, I'm happy to point you toward a referral.

Yes. Every engagement starts with an assessment so we’re working from data, not guesswork. The tools depend on the service:

Executive Function Coaching:

• BRIEF2A (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, Second Edition – Adult Version): a standardized rating scale that looks at how executive functioning, like planning, organizing, working memory, and emotional control, shows up in your everyday life.

• Brown EF/A Scales (Brown Executive Function/Attention Scales): rating scales that identify patterns in focus, effort, motivation, emotion, and memory, including ADHD-related difficulties.

• Self-monitoring and baseline data: tracking your real-world routines and task completion so we can measure change over time.

Behavior Counseling:

• Functional Assessment: structured interviews and data collection to understand what triggers a behavior and what keeps it going, so we can change the conditions around it.

• AAQ-II (Acceptance and Action Questionnaire–II): a brief questionnaire that measures psychological flexibility, a core target in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

• Valued Living Questionnaire (VLQ): clarifies what matters most to you and how closely your daily actions line up with it.

Performance Consulting:

• PDC (Performance Diagnostic Checklist): a structured assessment that pinpoints why performance is breaking down, whether it’s a matter of training, resources, feedback, or consequences.

• Values and goal alignment assessment: connects your professional goals to what drives you, so the plan supports performance you can sustain.

• Performance baseline data: measures of the specific work behaviors we’re targeting, tracked throughout our work together.

Disclaimer: These are skills-based assessments, not a diagnostic evaluation, and are not covered by insurance.

LocusBx is my clinical practice — behavior support for children, teens, and adults, often through insurance or Medicaid waiver funding, addressing developmental and behavioral needs. This is private-pay coaching for adults working on personal, professional, or performance goals. Same science, different scope. If what you're looking for sounds clinical, I'll tell you directly and point you to LocusBx instead.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a framework built around identifying what you actually value and taking action aligned with it, even when motivation or mood doesn't cooperate. Instead of relying on willpower, we build the values clarity and environment that make the right action the easier action.

No. I don't diagnose, treat, or provide clinical mental health services in this context. This work is about behavior change and goal achievement, not diagnosis or treatment of a condition.

Most coaching is conversation-based. Mine is data-driven. I use the same functional approach I use clinically, assessing what's actually driving your current patterns, then collecting and analyzing data on our progress together, so we know what's working instead of guessing.

For athletes specifically: this isn't mental skills training or sport-specific performance coaching. I'm not working on your pre-competition routine or your mindset in the moment of play. I'm looking at the environment and conditions — training, recovery, daily structure — that shape whether you show up consistently in the first place. If what you need is in-competition mental skills work, a sport psychology consultant is the better fit. If what you need is the environment and habits that get you to competition-ready, that's this.

Adults working on personal goals that haven't stuck, professionals losing focus or motivation on work that matters to them, and athletes (recreational, amateur, or semi-pro) who need more cognitive flexibility under pressure. This is environment and habit work, not sport-specific mental skills training.

Sessions are 1 hour, typically 1–2 times per month. We can meet as needed,  6–12 month commitment is recommended — behavior change takes time to stick, and consistency is part of what builds it.

Early sessions focus on identifying the values currently driving your goals, which shape the SMART goals we set together. From there, sessions include reviewing your self-managed data and self-reported progress, and adjusting the plan based on what that data actually shows.

Environment and pattern assessment depends on your goals: some require an in-person, real-world assessment (a few hours, standard fee applies); others can be completed remotely through self-assessment (also a standard fee). Ongoing progress sessions are typically virtual, though in-person observation may be added when it's the best way to match your data to real progress.
