About

I’m a coach and community builder based in Austin, Texas.

For years, I’ve worked one-on-one with people around relationships, family, burnout, identity, self-trust, and the feeling that something is off -- but nobody around them seems able to receive what they are seeing.

I also founded Walking Soccer Austin. It started with a simple observation: regular soccer leaves a lot of people out. I did not want to spend forever arguing with a system that was not built for everyone. I wanted to build something different and see who came.

That experience shapes how I coach too. I am interested in what happens when someone keeps being asked to adapt to a relationship, group, workplace, or family system that is not actually working for them. I help people slow down, name what they are carrying, figure out what they want, and decide what they want to do next.

I keep returning to the same question: are people being invited into a space as full participants, or are they being assigned a function inside it? That question shows up in families, friendships, work, community, and intimate relationships. I am interested in the difference between being needed and being met, between being relied on and being respected, and between automatically performing a role and choosing what you want to participate in.

My style is warm and direct. I do not think being honest has to mean being cruel, and I do not think being kind has to mean pretending something is not happening.
