Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakes.C. G. Jung
It hurts me to watch someone stay stuck, or set aside a dream they haven't tried yet. So I do what I can to help.
An alchemist turns lead into gold. In coaching, the lead is the doubt, the crisis, the feeling of not being yourself. The gold is the confident, charismatic, present person who was there all along.
I believe we all carry strong powers in our minds, bodies and souls that can be tapped for real change. My job is to help you find yours and use it.
That belief didn't come from a textbook. I studied business, then spent time in the financial markets, and later started a few companies of my own, so I know what it takes to back yourself when the outcome isn't guaranteed. A few years in, I got into soccer coaching, and that's really where this work started: watching someone find something in themselves they hadn't used yet.
I'm also a lifelong student of Eastern philosophy, including Hindu and Buddhist thought. I've studied Alan Watts for years, traveled through India, and studied the Bhagavad Gita, and that gives me a wider, deeper lens on life that I bring into every session.
Outside of work, I'm well traveled, I still play soccer and get outdoors to hike whenever I can, and I speak English, Farsi and Armenian, so sessions are available in any of the three on request.
Carl Jung called the journey toward wholeness individuation. The old alchemists drew the same road as lead becoming gold, and Eastern philosophy has been pointing at it for thousands of years. Coaching is how we walk it, one honest conversation at a time.
Name what's holding you back, without shame.
Practice the uncomfortable thing until it isn't.
See yourself and your choices plainly.
Show up as the confident person you already are.
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.C. G. Jung
What stands in the way becomes the way.Marcus Aurelius · Meditations
Tell me where you feel stuck and what you want. We'll see if we're a good fit.
I give honest, active feedback, help you set goals and practice new skills. I'll also listen to your wins and your struggles when the time is right.
Change builds over time. Book single sessions or save with a package. Prefer a phone call to video? That works too.
This is coaching, not therapy. I'm not a licensed therapist, and I don't diagnose or treat mental health conditions. See the full disclaimer below.
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.C. G. Jung
