Better relationships start with you.

"I’m at complete peace with the issue that I thought was literally impossible to handle unless someone else changed…"

Relationship and Communication Coaching

 
  • Access peace and freedom where you thought it was impossible.

  • Free yourself from triggers, trauma, pain, anxiety, resentment, grief, guilt and conflict.

  • Communicate in new ways to deepen intimacy, confidence and safety in your relationships.

Due to the very personal and varied nature of my work with people, it's been a gift to receive testimonials from clients to help shine light on what's possible for others.

"There's something I've found inside of me that I can rely on no matter what; connection with life, love, me."

- Guna

"Working with Brian has opened my heart. I felt my innocence again. I started to play, have fun, joke, laugh and express myself again. "

- Sarah

 

"I was able to go to the place of biggest fear within me, the thing that I thought I could never handle, or never do, or never accept, or never conquer… It felt very very empowering."
- Julia

The quality of our lives and the culture of our relationships is created by what we say and don't say, what we do and don't do, and how we identify - see ourselves and each other.

Hi, my name is Brian

 

I've been a communication and relationship coach, consultant, workshop facilitator and intuitive empathic healer since 2016 to highly ambitious, self-reflective and self-aware empaths, caregivers and leaders - people who serve others.

 

Working with professionals of all kinds from moms and doulas, to vice presidents, teachers, cybersecurity engineers, general managers, coaches and more - I've been privy to the secret yet universal challenges we all share. 

I work with individuals and couples of all ages specializing in relationships and communication including trauma, boundaries, codependency, consent, conflict resolution, leadership, and emotional intelligence.

"For the first time, I felt I was given something that I didn’t even know that I needed. Now I see myself as a completely different person. I’m proud of myself that I could become who I am now with Brian's help."
- Justin

mom with children - boundaries

As children, we learn to be hyper-attuned to others, to people please, to protect ourselves. 

 

As adults, we end up not feeling like ourselves or like something's missing because we're stuck operating from childhood self-protective adaptions. Everything that got you to where you are today is now exactly what's holding you back.

A blend of coaching & therapies

 

With laughter and lightheartedness, or whatever the moment calls for, I guide clients to places within themselves that are hard to get to on their own. Honest and humble self-exploration allows you to uncover unconscious patterns, integrate unprocessed emotions/trauma and resolve your past so that you can live an even more free, connected and authentic life. Read some testimonials to get a sense of what might be possible for you.

 

I intuitively integrate elements of coaching and many therapies that support clients to access new depths of themselves, transcend perceived obstacles and open up possibilities that didn't exist minutes before:

"My conversations with Brian never cease to amaze me. It’s like I'm in the forest with no path forward; only a wall of trees, an impasse. As we walk together the trees begin to step aside and the path magically appears. The way forward becomes clear and obvious.​"

- Brent

Let's Connect

​Finding the right fit is important. The trust and safety we cultivate within our relationship are what allow you to go deep.

 

A consult is a no sales, no pressure, casual video call for us to get to know each other and connect. If we vibe, we can talk about what it would be like to work together.
