About Me
At its heart, human life is a profound mystery. The question of what constitutes a truly successful and fulfilling life, a good life, has always been asked, by every generation and culture, and perhaps will never be answered with any universal certainty. But what is clear, is that if we don’t pursue this question for ourselves, if we don’t hold ourselves out earnestly into this mystery, our life will not truly be our own and we cannot walk our authentic path in this world. Every day and everywhere, we are bombarded with myriad answers to what should hold our attention, to what we should be dedicating our time and energy. Many of those answers are shallow and even destructive, many are profound and meaningful, but without cultivating the practice of deep presence, of fearless introspection and clear-eyed self-awareness, and of endless curiosity and wonder, our life will merely be a reaction to what we encounter and how we are conditioned, rather than as an expression of our true nature. Only you can decide what your life is really about, how you want to spend your time and energy, and what vision you want to pursue, but no matter what, that choice is upon you, as a profound but challenging opportunity.
My coaching is rooted in this ultimate mystery, in a sincere respect for that deep and personal question within your own heart. My hope in my mentoring is to work with you to touch into this unfolding mystery that is your life, your “one wild and precious life,” and develop every aspect of yourself, mind and body, so you can contain and express this unique potential to its fullest.
With a life-long passion for life’s big questions, years of experience as a teacher and coach, professional training as a personal coach and philosopher, and a commitment to ongoing personal growth and evolution, I want to connect you with a deeper possibility for your life, a profound meaning and purpose waiting to be discovered and manifested.

Over the three years we’ve worked together Alex has helped me come to a greater understanding of myself. Through dialogues, meditations, and exercises, he has helped me create space to understand what I truly want out of life. He has constantly encouraged my personal and spiritual development, warmly and lovingly challenging me to grow. Alex's unwavering faith in my self-direction and ability to realize my goals has helped me develop stronger self-efficacy, self-confidence, and self-esteem. He has supported me to rise above social pressures and deconstruct ingrained preconceptions to make decisions that I know are right for me. Alex’s guidance has helped me better the relationships in my life. He has encouraged me to embrace the vulnerability of empathy and more proudly and openly express myself to the world. He has encouraged me to put myself first: to listen to what I need, to help others only when it’s healthy for me to do so, and to take the time to consider what I actually want. Alex has also been a friend. His enthusiasm for life and excitement to see me develop my passions has made me more excited about the things I love. We’ve had hour-long conversations about philosophical texts and Dostoyevsky novels; we’ve met up for jam sessions and shared music. Most of all, Alex has helped me be more kind to myself. I’ve learned to take care of myself, to face struggles with humility, and to not compare myself with others. I’ve learned to take the time to let myself grow rather than beat myself up over any small perceived failure. I’ve learned to let myself relax when I need to. Over the three years I’ve known Alex, I’ve changed an immense amount. Alex has helped me make sure that as I change, I’m becoming who I want to be.

Working with Alex is a true gift. Every session with him is an abundance of riches, where I leave feeling powerfully illuminated and practically resourced. Through the weeks, Ive deepened in my somatic experience, transformed through countless moments of self-realization, and expanded my capacity to be with the fullness of life. I appreciate the beautiful balance in his coaching style: his both spacious and compassionate presence, his both vast and embodied intellect, his both clear and invitational guidance. With gently guided meditations, fluency with parts work, and a focus on personal practice, he welcomes me where I am and supports me in journeying through whatever shows up with ease. All of which is a clear testament to the profound work hes devoted to in his relationship with his whole self, with the beloved other, and with the sacred divine. Alex walks the walk. And its a joy to walk alongside him with the blessing of his caring support.
