Theo is a new coach with Empower and is excited to begin working with clients in this area. He has been working with individuals who have experienced trauma, grief, substance abuse, co-occurring disorders since 2014. Theo seeks to bring that which he has gained through years of education, work history, and life to the people of Southern Oregon to help people orient themselves towards being the best version of themselves.

Prior to coming to Empower, Theo has led an energetic life of profound variety. He was a Professor of English and Rhetoric at the University of Alaska Anchorage, a Substance Abuse counselor for adolescents and incarcerated males in Alaska, as well as a grief and trauma Counselor here in Oregon. As a Counselor, Theo was able to combine the principles he learned and propagated in academia to better reach his clients. He found that the most important thing to foster in both students and clients was not knowledge, but curiosity. He found that the part he liked most about both academia and counseling was the opportunity to help others find the path they deserve to follow. A guiding principle Theo follows is the notion that one should never lose sight of the person they wanted to be when they grew up.

Speaking of which, one of the great joys of Theo’s life was that he was able to step away from both Academia and Counseling to follow his own boyhood dreams. As a little child, Theo really wanted to work with airplanes. As he grew older, that desire never waned and only grew stronger. So, desiring to follow the same advice he gives to students and clients, Theo got a job working in the airline industry, servicing the very planes he grew up wanting to be near. He is very proud of his service on the tarmac and so happy he had the opportunity to become the person he’d hoped he would grow up to be. That gratitude is exactly what leads Theo to Empower, as his number one goal here is to help people become the people they want and deserve to become.
