From Rocky to Rocking It: Life Coaching

If you’ve ever thought,“who people think I am isn’t who I really am — or want to be,”you’re not alone.​


 

Who I Help

You might be successful on paper but stuck in your head.
Maybe you’re great at helping others, but struggle to say what you need out loud.

There’s a sense that something isn’t quite aligned — like there’s more to life… but you’re not sure how to get there.

That’s where we start.

I help you slow down, get honest, and begin matching your outsides to your insides — so you can build a life that actually fits.
Not ready for coaching?

Follow along as I share my thoughts, anecdotes, and what I've learned along the way. 

Meet Mike

I believe that the challenges we face can become the foundations we build from.

I believe that because I've lived it.

​

Coming out. Addiction. Sobriety. Grief.

​

I've had some pretty rocky chapters - and when I stopped saying "I'm fine" and finally asked for help, things started to change. Not all at once. But in a way that lasted.

​

I'm based in Portland, Oregon, and I work remotely with people who are ready for that kind of change.

​

With honesty, humor, and compassion, I help you move from just getting through....to actually living in a way that feels like you.

What My Clients Say

BB, Portland, OR June 2026

Mike met with me during a hard place in my life. I'm pretty isolated and working hard to change that. 

​

I'm over-relating to my son's recent loss of social connections, adding to my own sadness. I'm definitely dealing with codependency and lack of community.

​

Mike helped me talk things out, and try a few scary things. I believe my bravery is challenging my son to get out more too. 

​

Thanks for the push, and the ear, Mike!

Stretching is good exercise for the body, but also for your mindset.

Loan, NJ, March 2026

Mike is perceptive and observant, which makes me feel he's deeply listening, picking up on subtle emotions that have yet to be explored.

He is vulnerable about his own journey and transformation, which encourages me to show up the same  as I embrace change

Michelle, TX, May 2026

Last year I relocated to Texas.

Along with adjusting to a completely different environment, I also changed career paths—and in the process, lost a significant part of my identity.


Mike was there for all of it. He helped me navigate not only a new hometown, but also the much harder task of figuring out who I wanted to become within it. He asked thoughtful, insightful questions and had an incredible ability to break down my overwhelm into manageable conversations and actionable steps.


His calm presence, deep life experience, genuine compassion, and unwavering “I can help” nature became the steady support I needed to keep my balance through an enormous season of change. He helped me make sense of it all.
