About Me
Compassionate
I work to create a safe and warm environment. An environment where your experience matters most, where you are valid, and where you deserve care.
Present
Being present to moment to moment experiences will create opportunities to move into deeper understanding of painful internal events. I will work to create space for the natural and organic unfolding of your experience to be at the center of our work.
Curious
I encourage a willingness to the lean into the unknown; with open arms and a beginners mindset, anything and everything is possible.

He is interested in working with coaches and trainers, helping them to understand and improve their athletes' mental and emotional well-being.
