Meet Your Coach

What makes me qualified to be your coach?

Well, I do have the degrees. A Bachelor’s in Political Science and a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’ve worked with people from all walks of life to help them move forward, shift mindsets, and find clarity in their careers, relationships, and personal growth. But if I’m honest, the most powerful credentials I bring are lived experience.

I grew up in small-town Massachusetts and went to a typical liberal arts college. In my twenties, I chased fun, freedom, and identity — I drank a bit too much, spent more than I had, travelled, and wondered why I still felt unfulfilled. I followed a tech sales job to New York City, though the truth is I really moved there to “find myself.” That’s where I met my wonderful wife. We rode out the chaos of COVID together and eventually made our way home to Boston.

But a few years ago, something shifted. I hit a wall mentally, emotionally, and professionally. I had built a decade long career in software sales. I was performing at a high level, doing everything I thought I should do to make money and be “successful.” The plan was always to put in the time, hit it big at a pre-IPO start-up, cash out. But deep down, I hated it. The pressure. The politics. The inauthenticity. I felt like I was wearing a mask every day.

Then my wife gave birth to our twin boys, and everything really changed. I couldn’t keep doing something that left me miserable. I didn’t want to raise kids who watched their father slog through life. I owed it to them and to myself to find purpose. So I went into discovery mode. I considered starting a restaurant, opening a daycare, even becoming a firefighter. But eventually, I came back to what had always been there: a deep curiosity about psychology and a genuine desire to understand people. What I truly wanted was to help others.

With my wife’s support, I went back to school, all while working full time, raising two toddlers, and completing a clinical internship to become a psychotherapist. It was the hardest season of my life, but also the most transformative. I started living more authentically, lost weight, worked out more, drank less, ate better (not perfect, but better). And something unexpected happened: my chronic health issues like IBS and back pain started to improve. I literally felt better because I was finally aligned.

Today, I bring all of that to my coaching: the clinical training, yes, but also the realness. I’ve sat on the other side of the screen. I’ve questioned everything. I’ve invested in therapy and coaching myself. What I offer is grounded and effective; shaped by real results and my own transformation.

I don’t just talk about change — I’ve lived it. I’ll walk with you as your create yours.
