Therapy often focuses on healing. It looks to the past to understand the present. Coaching is about growth. It starts with where you are now and moves toward where you want to be.

Therapy is a licensed, clinical profession that treats mental health conditions and trauma. Coaching is non-clinical and more action-oriented. It’s about troubleshooting challenges, setting goals, and creating practical change through insight and accountability.

My work blends traditional coaching with tools from counseling and wellness. This is what’s known as a holistic and integrative approach.

“Holistic” means we look at the full picture: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual (not religious) because these parts of our lives can be deeply connected.

“Integrative” means I use a range of techniques from both coaching and therapy models, always in a non-clinical way. This allows for deeper, more personalized work while staying rooted in practical growth.

While coaching isn’t a regulated field, I’m certified through The Integrative Wellness Academy, a program that exceeds industry standards and trains coaches in both coaching and non-clinical counseling methods.

While most of my clients are gay or queer men, I work with all men within the LGBTQ+ community (minus the “L,” usually). That said, if a woman or gender-diverse person feels that my approach resonates with them, I’m open to working together.

At the end of the day, I care more about fit and readiness than gender. And if someone else would be a better match for your goals or lived experience, I’ll always offer to refer you. Coaching should be about support, not competition.

Yes. I’m certified in Life Coaching through The Integrative Wellness Academy, which emphasizes holistic and integrative methods. I also hold certifications in fitness and nutrition coaching, and have done independent studies in CBT, DBT, somatic work, parts work, and sexuality.

Every client and session is different. Some weeks we may focus on mindset or habits, other weeks on past experiences or insights.

Coaching can be structured or flexible, depending on what serves you best. Some clients prefer closed-ended sessions (focusing on a specific goal); others prefer open-ended sessions (exploring what’s present that week).

Sessions last about an hour and are typically weekly or bi-weekly, either online or in person (for those near Denver, CO). Between sessions, we will determine action steps together, such as reflections, practices, or experiments based on what comes up in our work. These simple steps help insights turn into real-world change. Progress happens through both conversation and consistent follow-through.

I use a sliding-scale model to make coaching more accessible. We’ll talk together about your income and what feels sustainable for you.

Personally, I used to be very active on social media, and for a while it was rewarding. But over time, I noticed it started to pull me away from being fully present in my own life and work. The constant pressure to post and stay visible took a quiet toll on my mental health, so I decided to step back.

So, professionally, I’ve chosen not to use social media as part of my business model. That choice isn’t a statement against social media. It’s just what felt healthiest for me and the kind of coaching I want to offer. Stepping away allows me to focus on what I value most: real conversations, privacy, and meaningful connection without the noise. It’s also an example of the boundaries I encourage for clients when something in their life no longer feels aligned.

That said, I have a lot of respect for coaches and creators who use those platforms well. It’s just not the environment I choose for my work. My best work happens when I’m not focused on algorithms or constant posting, but on showing up fully for my clients.
