Life’s challenges, big and small, can shape who we become—and I’ve spent over 15 years helping people turn those challenges into opportunities for growth.

I have been a professional life coach since 2022, working with individuals to help accomplish their goals, and integrate meaningful experiences into their lives. In an unofficial capacity since 2005, I’ve mentored colleagues and peers, helping them process major life events, pursue new careers, and overcome personal loss.

I have had careers in business, technology, and public safety. Every job I've had has prepared me to coach. Working as a Firefighter Paramedic for over 20 years in Los Angeles gave me a view of life that enables me to see how something small can be a big challenge. As a business owner, I’ve learned to communicate effectively. Through effective communication, I’ve learned one of life’s most powerful lessons: even leaders need someone to listen.

I’ve studied how cultures around the world use rituals in their daily life, as well as in their spirituality. I know how powerful the force of nature can be to help transform an individual. As a certified Sylvotherapy Practitioner, I use forest-based practices to help clients reconnect with nature, reduce stress, and find emotional balance.

I’m certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and the Community Resiliency Model (CRM), using these tools to help clients regulate emotions, build resilience, and navigate challenges like career transitions or personal setbacks. I’ve helped clients transition to fulfilling careers, rebuild confidence after personal setbacks, and find balance through nature-based practices.

My family is the greatest source of my happiness. I have seven children who have taught me so many lessons. My goal is to draw on my experience to help you achieve your aspirations while embracing each step with gratitude.

Whether you’re a professional seeking career clarity, navigating a life transition, or exploring spiritual growth, I’m here to guide you. Let’s connect to explore how I can support you in achieving your goals, grounding in your experiences, and embracing life’s journey.

With Gratitude and Blessings,

David
