I Knew What Needed to Change.
I Just Couldn't Make Myself Do It.
For years I wore a mask.
Successful on the outside. Disconnected on the inside. I was building a career in the beverage alcohol industry — charismatic, polished, always performing. And beneath all of it, I was quietly falling apart.
I knew something was wrong. I'd known for a long time. But knowing and doing are different things. I kept moving, kept achieving, kept numbing the distance between who I was and who I knew I could be.
Then I lost the job I thought defined me. And everything unraveled.
In that moment I had a choice. Keep numbing or face reality.
I chose reality.
I quit drinking. I left the industry. I walked into the wilderness — literally — and started the work I'd been avoiding for years. Shadow work. Grief. Identity. The parts of myself I'd buried under performance and productivity.
That's where I found what I now give to others.
Not from a textbook. Not from a certification. From living it.
The Path That Shaped This Work
I didn't arrive here quickly. The lineage behind this work matters and spans ontological coaching, 6 vision quests, grief tending with Francis Weller, shadow work, Reichian body structures, myth, wilderness, and trauma-informed practice. Years of going into the places most coaches avoid, so I could learn to guide others there.
Who I Am Now
Based in Denver. Working with leaders globally. Sixteen clients at a time — because this work requires presence and presence requires limits.
I'm the person you call when you've done the therapy, read the books, achieved the things, and still feel like a stranger to yourself.
