Let's Start The Conversation.

Reaching out is the hardest step. My commitment to you is simple:

This is a 100% confidential, no-obligation space to share your story and gain clarity on your next steps.

Whether you are an individual ready to rebuild, or a professional exploring a referral, there is no sales pitch here—just a real, human conversation focused on your future.

Use this secure form, and I will personally respond within one business day.

Own Your Story, Build Your Future.

  • No sales pitch. No pressure. Just a conversation. I know reaching out is heavy. This call is simply a space for us to meet, discuss your current situation, and see if we are a good fit. I will ask about your goals, and you can ask about my process.

    • If we are a match: I will explain exactly how the coaching works and what it costs.

    • If we aren't: I will point you toward a resource or professional that is better suited for you. You will leave the call with clarity on your next step, whether you hire me or not.

  • Yes. We operate on an Enterprise-Grade Security model. We understand that many of our clients are navigating sensitive legal or professional challenges. We do not use standard consumer apps. All client data, session notes, and communications are secured in a Google Workspace "Digital Vault" that meets global security standards (SOC 2 / ISO 27001). Your employer, union, or PO has no access to our conversations unless you explicitly authorize it.

  • I don't give orders; I help you build the blueprints. Unlike a sports coach calling plays from the sidelines, I am not here to run your life. You are the expert on your own story. My role is to ask the high-mileage questions that force you to examine your blind spots, challenge your "Old Rules," and find your own way forward. Why? Because you are 100% more likely to stick to a plan you built than one I handed to you. You are in the driver's seat; I am the navigator ensuring we don't go off the road.

  • You can book a call to discuss your role, but I cannot coach them until they are ready. If you are a parent or partner, we can use the consultation to discuss "Family & Support System Coaching" for you. However, for the person in recovery or re-entry, the desire to change must come from them. I am happy to speak with you about how to invite them to the process, but I do not "convince" people to start.
