Coaching Offerings

One-on-one Coaching

I offer 1-on-1 virtual coaching for women and men via video-call. We will work together to set individualized goals so that every coaching session draws on your unfolding life-experiences, and focuses on the topics that will be the keys to your growth. 

To provide a few examples of what my clients choose to focus on in our work together: 

• deepening connections with romantic partners and family through authentic communication; 

• building an unshakable sense of self-worth; 

• releasing anxiety and shame; 

• increasing emotional and body-awareness; 

• establishing healthy boundaries; 

• cultivating internal and external congruence -- put more simply, moving toward being the truest version of yourself in all of the different areas of your life. 

There are also several special populations that I am well-positioned to serve given my lived experiences: 

• Graduate students,

• Academics/scholars,

• Ex-patriates, especially NGO and international aid workers living abroad in challenging or war-torn settings.

Virtual coaching sessions last between 1 and 1.5 hours and take place weekly over Zoom. I encourage new clients to commit to a minimum of 3 months of weekly coaching. 

Group Coaching for Men

I offer virtual brotherhood circles for men. This is an ongoing, virtual group-coaching experience for men who desire a supportive brotherhood focused on personal growth, emotional depth, and mutual accountability. A coaching group is the perfect place to work on:

• discovering and articulating personal boundaries;

• navigating interpersonal conflict;

• improving your ability to feel and communicate about your emotions in the moment;

• managing and dissolving social anxiety;

• practicing new ways of acting and interacting in the world;

• building supportive, lasting friendships with like-minded men.

Each group is a curated mix of men who are in different stages of their lives – fathers, divorcees, bachelors, entrepreneurs, and corporate climbers. I will create a safe space and provide group coaching to ensure that we can all learn from each other, including learning from the guy who pisses you off. We will work together to cultivate deep presence, fearless leadership, and more authentic relationships.

Group format:

Weekly zoom meeting for 1.5 hours: 

• One (1) topic-focused session each month (with some pre-call reading/preparation, some teaching from me or a guest lecturer, and focused discussion)

• Three (3) open-ended sessions each month focused on group relating (i.e. open sharing, reflecting, and coaching). 

Here’s one big reason why this is different from most coaching groups:

The time-horizon for the group is open ended. Ideally the men who join will want to build supportive relationships with each other over multiple years. 

• In addition, there will be at least 1 opportunity each year for the group to convene in-person in an intimate, retreat atmosphere.
