I have helped a wide range of individuals—not just professionals, but anyone feeling emotionally drained, chronically overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Whether it’s work stress, life pressure, or just the weight of too much for too long, the core tools of burnout recovery are the same: nervous system regulation, boundary setting, energy awareness, and aligned action. With over 15 years in corporate HR and leadership development, I’ve supported high-achieving professionals—but I’ve also coached parents, caregivers, and individuals in major life transitions. My approach is grounded, practical, and personalized—because burnout doesn’t discriminate, and recovery should be available to everyone.

I am an Integral Coaching. What this means is, I work with my clients at the level of the “root cause.” So instead of just being focused on the What and How, we go deep on the Who and it's through that lens we make progress together. I support my clients to connect more fully to their overall life purpose and trajectory, while taking steps to resolve whatever is the most pressing need or opportunity. In addition, I: - View each of my clients as an integrated whole: one who is shaped by their history, circumstances, relationships, and environment - Support my clients in living in a more integrated way: bringing our full selves to every part of life, opening up possibilities, driving sustainable change, and experiencing more fulfillment as a result - Believe development happens not only through insight but through integrating those insights into our bodies with practices, including meditation and movement This approach is based on my training with the New Ventures West Integral Coaching methodology that integrates teachings of many movements, traditions, fields of study, and people.

My life coaching philosophy is simple: your perceived weaknesses are often your hidden superpowers waiting to be unleashed. This truth became crystal clear during my own journey of late neurodivergent discovery, where I realized that years of feeling "too much," "too intense," or "too different" had actually been preparing me for work that requires deep empathy, pattern recognition, and the ability to see what others miss. I help clients reframe their stories and recognize that the very things they've been told to hide or fix might be their greatest assets. Whether you're navigating neurodivergence, recovering from trauma, or simply ready to stop living someone else's version of your life, I guide you in discovering that your authentic self isn't a consolation prize—it's the main event. My approach honors the complexity of human experience while providing practical tools for building a life that truly fits who you are.

I am a Certified Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and ICF ACC specializing in helping high-achieving professionals create a more aligned, fulfilled, and authentic life — not just a successful career on paper. My coaching blends deep personal growth work with practical mindset and behavioral change, grounded in both professional experience and lived transformation. Before becoming a full-time coach, I spent nearly two decades in demanding leadership roles at companies like Amazon and IBM where I learned firsthand how burnout, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm can limit even the most capable people. As a life coach, I help clients reconnect with their inner compass: clarifying what truly matters, building emotional resilience, and shifting long-standing patterns such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, or fear of visibility. My style is compassionate but powerful: I create a safe space for honest self-reflection while also helping you take meaningful action toward a more grounded, confident, and intentionally designed life.

I use the same systematic methods that build innovative and impactful products to help you design and pursue a uniquely fulfilling life. Whether you feel stressed and uncertain or successful but not satisfied, there is a framework for that. To earn the chance to be your coach, I understand I'll need to begin to establish a foundation of trust, which I see as having four core components: Integrity: My commitment to this work is demonstrated by my own "prototype" — I walked away from a successful tech career to intentionally design a life aligned with my deepest values. Intent: My purpose is to empower you to see your possible alternatives, to make choices, and to navigate a path inspired by your own value alignment. Capability: With a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford's Design Division, I studied structured methods for making decisions in the face of uncertainty as well as the d.school's design-thinking methods for creativity. I bring this unique, rigorous toolkit to help you navigate your personal and professional challenges. Results - Professional: I am a startup guy, with over 15 years of experience leading engineering and operations in the chaotic, high-stakes startup world. I’ve helped build companies, hired teams, and mentored individuals in a professional setting. I know what it takes for a small team to succeed under pressure—Resharp, where I was employee #5, was successfully acquired. Results - Personal: I am a husband of 18 years and a dad, nurturing my relationship with my wife and together raising two daughters in the Bay Area. I have firsthand experience in the constant, demanding, and rewarding effort of balancing a high-stakes career with being present for a rich family life. As your coach, I will provide personalized support as you: * Come to grips with what truly matters most to you. * Make a map of where you are now, where you aim to go, and specify the obstacles between here and there. * Define, measure, and improve your financial well-being. * Use Stanford design methods to develop & prototype your own path forward. * Provide accountability as you shape your life and get fit—holistically. * Guide you along the path to (finally) finishing your PhD dissertation. * Design your own custom self-improvement plan. * Leverage your gratitude and face your fears to empower your daily routines. Whether you're in a demanding role, at a fork in the road, or simply seeking more from life, I'm eager and curious to listen and help you find your why.

Life coaching is about creating a balanced and fulfilling life, where personal well-being is prioritized alongside professional success. In my coaching, I guide clients to recognize that sustainable achievement begins with self-awareness and balance. Together, we cultivate emotional intelligence and practical skills to decompress, establish boundaries, and feel empowered to say “no” when needed. I believe that every choice and action reflects who you are, and through intentional decisions, you actively shape your future. My approach is centered on investing in your environment—creating spaces and routines that support your personal and professional goals. By fostering conscious, informed choices, we focus on building a life that allows you to be fully present for yourself and your loved ones, while thriving in all areas.
