About Me

My approach is different to most coaches. I work from the basis that trauma, or past overwhelm, is stored in bodily states of chronic tension, hypervigilance, and dissociation. These states block access to our birthright of intuition, feeling, connection, and play. As a result, most people lead lives of quiet desperation and confusion where there is not enough support for integration to take place. Instead, they fall into life ruts, lose feeling, and learn to depend on inferior management strategies like substances, hypersexuality, and workaholism.

Somatic work taps into your body’s own healing resources to establish a safe home base, release bound survival energy, and disrupt unhelpful and reactive patterns. This widens your emotional range and supports healthy attachment so that you feel at ease in your body and can relate deeply with others. With healthy regulation, unhealthy patterns fade and vitality, connection, and meaning take root organically. Curiosity, play, and laughter become reliable companions, the mind takes in the bigger picture, and social engagement expands. The world becomes coherent, organized, and integrated. Unanswered questions around identity, career, and relationships start to fall into place naturally.

I am currently doing a Masters in Clinical Psychology and am certified Intermediate through the Somatic Experiencing Institute. In addition to coaching, I am a Psychotherapist Trainee at the Maple Counseling Center under the supervision of Chris Meyer, PhD (Licensed Psychologist #19485). Previously, I worked for seven years in investment banking, private equity, and marketing strategy in New York and Los Angeles and completed a Masters in Finance. I also travelled the world for five years with my wife as a sponsored rock climber.

I work with high-potential humans wanting to build a life they can feel great about.
