Find support.
Meet your edge.

Transform—and become who you truly are, so others can do the same.

These are some different ways we can engage in this good work together.

If my way of working speaks to you, I offer 30-minute complimentary discovery sessions. 

This gives us the opportunity to connect, answer any questions you might have, and begin the conversation to see what working together could feel like.

  • We’re living in a time that asks a lot of us.

    It asks us to lead with heart, with courage, and with wisdom—especially when it would be easier to stay small or perform someone else’s version of success.

    I work with soulful leaders—those who feel the call to serve something greater than ego, but refuse to abandon themselves in the process.

    This isn’t about posturing, branding, or optimizing.

    It’s about becoming more fully yourself—and bringing that truth forward, with clarity and strength.

    A good coach doesn’t try to reshape you.

    They help you remember who you are, and walk with you as you step into your own power—rooted, resourced, and real.

  • Life

    Partner with me to design a life you don’t need to escape through owning your desire, power and choice. We will explore how to use The Relationship Process with yourself to find your pathway to empowerment. 

    Relationships

    Explore The Relationship Process to clarify your most important assets- your relationships. Together we’ll explore your belief systems & update your embodied habits of how you relate to people in your life. 

    Masculinity

    Be supported in uncovering and owning the power and responsibility of your masculine through healing your relationship to masculinity.  Through self-exploration and practice we’ll uncover the gift of the masculine and the responsibility of wielding it.

    Grief

    Be held in witness as you explore the story of what shaped you–and make a plan for empowered recovery & change through grief tending, trauma recovery, self-expression, and improvisation.

  • Intimacy

    Our intimate lives are roadmaps to our souls and who we are. Together we will find the tools to explore the intensity and vulnerability at the threshold of intimacy. 

    Repair 

    Rupture and repair are the cornerstones of successful relationships. I’ll help you navigate the terrain of repair using The Relationship Process. 

    Communication

    Relationships are about sharing who we are. Sharing who we are means communicating authentically and with precision and clarity. Learn cooperative ways to express and listen through practice.

  • The Relationship Process for Teams

    Deepening relational skills is most powerful in a group. Learn alongside your team as you witness each other’s growth, practice new tools in real time, and build the foundation for sustainable, trust-based collaboration. 

    Small Group Coaching for Men

    Get more growth through working in a group. Join a group  of 3–4 people meeting bi-monthly for 90-minute coaching circles over 6 months.

    Group Grief Tending for Everyone

    Grief tending is an essential practice for navigating change. In transformation, we are leaving behind something and that loss creates grief. When we hold our grief inside, alone, it becomes trauma. When we tend our grief in witness within a strong  container with others, it becomes a binding force that connects us to people, the planet, and the soul of who we are. 

    Retreats Just for You

    Relationships are built on shared experiences, shared memories, and shared challenges. Sustainable relationships live on trust, will, and time. A retreat uses the alchemy of  time and experience  that builds trust and uncovers will.  We will design a retreat that meets your group’s unique needs to transform together.

Kind Words

  • I wish there was a 6th star to give David. He has helped me change my life professionally, creatively, interpersonally, and spiritually more than any other single human. He has helped counsel me in times of severe distress, helped me plan for my biggest personal accomplishments, and throughout it all, has helped me really believe that I can love and take care of myself. What I really value about our sessions is that he can repeat back to me what I am saying with a clarity I sometimes have difficulty accomplishing on my own.

    —B.B. Los Angeles, CA

  • David is an exceptionally gifted coach. I know how rare it is to find someone like him. He is tactful and yet not afraid to challenge his clients in places that ask for that. My partner and I come from very different places and David somehow manages to meet us both exactly where we are at and give each of us a picture into where our work lies. In my experience, he shines as a couples coach, and I refer all of my friends to him with confidence.


    —M.M. Grass Valley, CA

  • I was unsatisfied with 2 different life coaches I had before I found David. From our first conversation, I felt an immediate connection with him. I felt comfortable that I could be open and not judged for being honest with myself. What I needed in a life coach or therapist was someone who could listen, give me tools to use, and willingness to challenge me to achieve higher.



    —C.H. Salt Lake, UT

  • I reached out to David seeking career coaching during COVID-19. He and I established weekly and bimonthly phone sessions via 1hr calls. For me, the tools David has shared have led me to feel more confident with what I can and cannot take control of in my life. One of his strengths is his ability to empathize and connect with others. 



    — K.J. San Luis Obispo, CA

  • When I first reached out to David, I knew I needed guidance but that was all I knew.  After my time working with David, I have learned so many strategies for excelling at life in general. Thank you David, for helping me learn to be more self-inquisitive, to value myself, and for continuing to guide me in a positive direction!”



    —A.P.  Pittsburgh. PA

  • I’ve been busting my ass trying out therapists for me and my partner for years, and working with you is the first thing that’s felt like it has really worked and produced results. Working with you has been truly great and I feel really good about it.



    —E. T. St. Louis, MO

  • Thank you David!! Meeting with you is so wonderful, every time. You're so skilled at wrangling us back in and always have such a great sense of where to go.

    —L.C. Albuquerque, NM

  • I could not have gotten to where I’m at without your guidance and kindness and wisdom! I have never worked with a {coach} like you and I never thought I'd be comfortable enough to work with a man but here I am!  It’s just been so cool to see my own growth which came from our collaboration and your support. It’s enough to bring me to tears!

    —B.N. St. Louis, MO

  • David is naturally gifted, not that he hasn't worked at it, but he listens so deeply and reflects back more than you could ask for. His guidance and ability to lift heartache, shift struggles, and celebrate success is top-notch. Men's work, women's work, couples work. The best thing I could suggest to anyone curious is to schedule an initial call; you'll never look back.

Our work isn’t about optimizing yourself to succeed in a broken system.

I engage with clients ready for real change—personal, relational, and systemic.

Not just to feel better, but to live differently. To transform in a way that ripples outward.

To become part of building something new.

I am walking the path with you.

 As an artist, relationships are my muse. Across many roles and industries, one question has guided me:

How do we make relationships more sustainable, creative, and life-giving?

This inquiry has shaped my work—and my life. I don’t offer answers from the outside. I live the questions daily, walking my own path of transformation alongside those I support

A lot of other coaches are here to teach you how to optimize your life to compete in a broken capitalist patriarchal system. 

I help you become an active part of changing the system, and to help you flourish in it. I believe a better future is possible when we are in better relationship with one another.
