Life Coach
I help people build and strengthen their Complex and Beautiful relationships.
Out of Your Shell
Is your Relationship Everything you want it to be?
Look, I get it. We all face relationship problems now and then, and it’s a good idea to find someone to talk to about it. Your best friend might have some nuggets of wisdom lined up for you, served with a hug and a hot cup of coffee, but those conversations aren’t always the most productive when it comes to saving your relationship.
Your relationship used to be so good. So magical. Just what you wanted and didn’t know existed… until it did. But life got in the way and now you’re feeling distant from your partner. Or maybe you’re feeling emotionally abandoned. Maybe there’s some jealousy in places where it hasn’t existed before, which is freaking confusing. Maybe your partner just told you they have needs or desires that you never knew about, and now you don’t know if your relationship will survive.
Maybe you need something stronger than coffee right about now.
Is this the kind of relationship you signed up for?
If not, does it mean the relationship has to end?
Sure, that’s one option, but not so fast. If you were ready to throw in the towel, would you be reading this right now? You’re probably scouring the internet looking for another option, one that would save your relationship and keep your family intact. I know, your situation is probably a lot messier than you admit to people, and it might seem easier to just scrap it and start over with someone else. But that’s messy, too. And there are more hearts involved than just yours. So you’re feeling a little stuck. Or maybe a lot stuck.
What if there is something… maybe a very significant something that you didn’t know existed, but that you just discovered on the internet? And what if it changes everything? I mean, like flipping a switch, the lights come on and your entire relationship transforms. What if you found that thing, and now there’s a path forward on a road you thought was a dead end?
Don’t just save your relationship.
transform it.
A relationship worth saving is one worth transforming.
You don’t want the relationship to go back to the way it was. That’s where things started, which was great, but now you want to explore an entirely new future with fresh hope and collaboration. Okay, so there may still be some conflict, some needs that require negotiation, and some compersion to practice, but with new tools come new success stories. There are a lot of moving parts that need attention if your relationship is going to get a new lease on life. It’s going to take more than a conversation over coffee to get things on the right track.
Why coaching instead of therapy?
Hey, I’m not knocking therapy. Not at all. But sometimes you go to a therapist to solve a very specific problem at home, and they keep asking about your childhood, your parents, your trauma… and you just wanted to figure out how to get along with your girlfriend! And the sooner the better, because the shit is getting deep, and the more you sit around talking about your childhood, the more shit is piling up around you. If you feel this way, you’re looking for a life coach, not a therapist. We have different tools than therapists because we help people with different things.
It’s not always easy to know which professional can help you get unstuck.
So how do you choose?
it depends on why you’re stuck!
Therapy examines your past to affect your present.
Coaching examines your present to affect your future.
As a life coach, I’ll help you sort out what you believe and how those beliefs affect your life today. We’ll look at the disconnect that’s happening between your values and your behavior, two things that don’t always play nice. We’ll dig deep and see where your own decisions are sabotaging the very thing you’re trying to rescue. We can work individually or we can get the whole family together to come up with a strategy for success.

Great lives are lived at the intersection of hope and action.
I’m here to challenge your long-held beliefs about yourself, your relationship, and the people you love. When we get down to the heart of the matter, you’ll discover that the distance from where you are to where you want to be is… right there at your fingertips.

Coming out of your shell is easier said than done.
But if anyone can do it, you can.
Kind Words
Brent’s genuine curiosity about me and my parts work was refreshing. He didn’t assume that he already knew my thoughts based on our shared experiences. Brent is a kind, compassionate listener who will meet you where you are and help guide you to a better version of yourself.

I first started working with Brent during a difficult point in my life. My wife had just left me after 36 years of marriage. My job of over forty years had just eliminated my position. I was forced to sell the house I’d lived in for over twenty years. And I’d just had a triple bypass open heart surgery a few months earlier. Brent helped me process all these changes and see them as opportunities. I won’t lie; it was difficult. But Brent made it much more manageable. He helped me put things into perspective. His calm demeanor and non-judgmental manner made it easy to open up to him. I will forever be grateful that he entered my life when he did.

Brent is a lovely soul with a caring heart. His training, combined with his own personal journey, creates a safe space for any conversation you may need to have. Imagine talking to an old friend, but without any shared baggage, judgment, or opinions. That’s Brent. My burdens are much lighter now with his help and guidance.
