(Your Self does not need improvement.)
You are not a tool
After twenty-five years in tech, I know the grind from the inside. When you spend your days building systems, debugging code, and optimizing processes, it’s easy to turn that mindset inward—treating yourself like another machine to tune, upgrade, or patch.
Instead of working to find ways to improve yourself, to fix or be better, I offer a way to explore how you can live truer. When we are authentically human we are present and aware.
When so much of life happens through screens, it’s easy to slip into autopilot. Our routines become automated, our relationships drift online, and the line between being human and being productive starts to blur. Before long, purpose feels distant and the self feels thin.
If you’re burnt out, unmotivated, or feeling ground down by the demands of your career, then let's explore how to return to your passionate self.
Together, we’ll slow down, look underneath the surface, and uncover what’s actually shaping your experience—so you can live in a way that feels true, not merely efficient.

Psychedelic-assisted therapies can open doors that ordinary talk therapy can’t always reach. But the real work begins afterward—making sense of what emerged, integrating it, and letting it change how you live. Insights without integration fade. Integration is what turns them into growth.
If you’re exploring psychedelics in a therapeutic context, I offer a steady, informed space to help you metabolize the experience. My approach is rooted in harm-reduction, preparation, and integration practices that honor both the neuroscience and the lived, often profound, reality of psychedelic work.
Psychedelic therapy has surged in visibility as research continues to show its potential for rapid shifts in our depression, trauma, and long-held emotional patterns.
These experiences are most effective—and safest—when supported by a trained counselor who can help clarify intentions, navigate the psychological terrain, and create a grounded container before, during, and after the work.
My role is to help you integrate what emerges, make sense of the material you encounter, and translate insight into meaningful change in your daily life.
Developmental Coaching
I'm an Aletheia-trained coach. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Parts Work, and Presence to help you unfold experientially.
Coaching has changed in the 21st century. While many models focus on self-improvement and fixing what’s “wrong,” I work from an integral perspective. Nothing is missing. Everything you need is already within you—we simply uncover it together.
Through consistent sessions, you’ll tap into your own capacity to move your career forward, strengthen your relationships, and pursue the health and life you want with clarity and momentu
Developmental Coaching as a spiritual practice. It means being fully present and listening with my whole being to hear you reveal your truth. You are your own spiritual teacher. If you are interested in deepening your spiritual experience, let's talk.

I'm a gay man who focuses on serving the LGBTQIA+ QTBIPOC community, especially at the intersection of spirituality, faith, and sexuality.
Sexuality, gender, and relationships are areas I know deeply personally and professionally. I grew up in a strict evangelical environment, and part of my own work was untangling shame and unworthiness from spirituality and identity.
If you’re navigating shame, sexual insecurity, fear, or relational struggles, I offer an affirming space to explore what’s underneath and reclaim the parts of yourself that were never the problem to begin with. Together, we’ll work toward a more grounded, confident, and authentic expression of who you are.
