About Me
From Following the Old Map to Finding My True Way
Why I Do This Work
I know what it's like to be lost in the labyrinth of midlife.
For nearly two decades, I chased the dream of being a published novelist. When it didn’t happen, I quit—convinced I’d failed.
Without my writing, life felt empty, and I spiraled into unhealthy habits and isolation.
It took hitting bottom to seek help. Therapy, men’s groups, and honest conversations pulled me back, but the real breakthrough came when I returned to solitude and wrote again—not for publication, but for joy and curiosity.
That’s when I learned the real work of midlife isn’t fixing yourself—it’s living authentically. When you grow your life, you free your art.
Today, I’m a certified coach, a member of International Coaching Federation, and a published writer with over 20 years of storytelling experience.
I work with creative men in midlife to help them navigate transitions, reconnect to their authentic voice, and create lives they can’t wait to live.
How my midlife transition began
What I Believe
Midlife is a natural transition and an invitation to live a more fuller life, not a crisis to push through or ignore.
Creativity isn’t a product, it’s what keeps us connected to our own souls and to each other.
You don’t need to be “fixed”, you need to understand that everything you need is within you.
Every man must dismantle the First-Half Script they’ve been living and write their unique Second-Half Script in order to be truly authentic and human.
Why Men Work With Me
I’m not here to hand you “the answer.” I’m here to help you find your answer. No methods, tricks, or life hacks—just the space to allow self-awareness, curiosity, presence, and intention. ALL from you.
I create a safe and creative space for us to work together so that you can find your answers and work through your challenges the only way YOU know how.
How I can guide you
I’ve walked this path myself, and I’ve gathered tools and experience I now share with the men I coach.

Still doing the work, every day
When I’m Not Coaching
You’ll find me writing in a coffee shop, drawing to one of my favorite cds, walking the parks, or losing myself in a good book. I believe the small, quiet moments are often where the true revelations happen in life.
If any of this sounds like where you are at, I’d love for you to check out how I work with men like you.
