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.
Who I Help
If you’ve ever thought,
“who people think I am isn’t who I really am — or want to be,”
you’re not alone.
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.
You're a Good Fit If...
-
You’re insightful and curious — but often overthink things
-
You care deeply about others but forget to take care of yourself
-
You’re tired of pretending to be fine when you’re not
-
You're noticing yourself editing who you are depending on who you're with
-
You’ve outgrown parts of your life, but aren’t sure what’s next
-
You want clarity, authenticity, and peace
-
Not sure what coaching is....

What My Clients Say
Alex A
Mike helped me press pause on the chaos and actually chart a direction. It’s like he hands you the flashlight when you’re stuck in a dark tunnel.
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.
