About Dr. Nick


As a Performance Psychologist I specialize in providing coaching, consulting and speaking services that focus on enhancing the performance of my clients and helping them achieve their dreams and goals without fear or anxiety.

For over 25 years I have specialized in helping adolescents and adults overcome anxiety/panic, performance anxiety and the fear of public speaking. In addition to my private practice in Newport Beach and Yorba Linda, California, I maintain a business coaching practice in which I help professionals develop their careers with less stress and more balance.

I believe that the achievement of personal excellence and true optimum performance, whether in relationships, business, leadership or sports, must come from the inside out. To me there is nothing more exciting and satisfying than to see an individual break through the barriers that sabotage their success in life.

My undergraduate training was at Westmont College, and later I earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology at Pepperdine University. My Doctorate in Clinical Psychology is from Rosemead Graduate School of Professional Psychology. I did a Clinical Internship at Bradley Neuropsychiatric Institute in Georgia and received a certification in Applied Sport Psychology from the Optimal Performance Institute, specializing in performance enhancement for executives and athletes. I am currently licensed as a clinical psychologist in California and am a professional affiliate with the CHAANGE Treatment Program for Anxiety.

A featured author in the best-selling book, A Cup of Chicken Soup for the Soul, I also serve as an Adjunct Professor at Biola University, School of Professional Studies.

A member of the National Speakers Association, International Speakers Federation and recipient of the Bronze Microphone Award of the National Speakers Association Los Angeles Chapter, I am privileged to speak on an assortment of topics related to work/life balance, overcoming fear, and personal and leadership development.

Through my consulting, coaching and presentations, I have helped thousands develop powerful life skills leading to breakthrough results and dramatic personal and business success. Finally, and most importantly, my wife of 25 years and I are blessed with a wonderful 20 year old son and a sweet 16 year old daughter.
