A Coaching Approach Rooted in Clarity, Meaning, and Real Change

​

This coaching space isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you reconnect with who you are beneath the noise—the part of you that already knows what matters, even if it’s been buried under pressure, doubt, or habit.

​

I don’t believe in forcing goals or chasing success for its own sake. Instead, we explore what feels true for you. That might start with a sense of direction—a change you want to make, something you want to feel, or a version of your life that calls to you. Together, we listen to that. And we also stay curious about the fears, blocks, and patterns that show up along the way—not as problems, but as signals from parts of you that want to be seen and understood.

 

This is a space for sustainable, meaningful change. It’s not about becoming someone else—it’s about becoming more fully yourself.
We focus on how you want show up in your life—calm, clear, steady, confident. When you’re grounded in that, the actions and decisions start to take care of themselves.

​

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just need a willingness to get honest, stay curious, and take one real step at a time.

True well-being begins when you stop pushing and start listening to what’s underneath.

 

It’s how you meet what’s stuck that shifts everything.

 

Work with yourself, not against yourself—and that’s where direction and purpose begin to take shape.

Personally: I have (need) a coach because it's much easier than doing it on my own.

​

I have mentors, because I don't want to do this alone and I can learn from them.

​

I have coaching peers because they keep me grounded & excited about this work. I do the same for them.

So, what about me?
I consider myself to be a Well-Being Coach who specializes in meaning and direction; little else impacts our well-being as much as our sense of meaning and direction.

I’ve walked the path I now help my clients walk.

​

For years, I felt like invisible forces were keeping me from becoming the person I knew I could be. Other times, I felt so disconnected from what mattered to me that I’d forget—and find myself living a life that didn’t feel like mine at all.

​​

I felt like I wasn't the best partner or father I could be. I would be committed and present and then at times disconnected and indifferent.

​

I oscillated between those two states, often feeling hopeless when I landed in the space between.

​​

To be honest, I struggled—until about three years ago, when I finally discovered a path that reliably brings me closer to a more whole version of myself: calm, capable, confident, and creative. It took a lot of support, and my self awareness helped me move through it, but it wasn't until I worked with the conflicts inside me and not against them that I finally felt real progress.

​​

From this place, I’m no longer trying to chase something or escape something—I’m living as the person I want to be, feeling the way I want to feel.

​​

I’ve coached hundreds of hours, helping people find their way back to that place in themselves—where clarity returns, and creativity and purpose begin to flow more freely.
