Healing from Grief & Loss
The pain of a loss can and will stop you in your tracks and can make even the simple everyday tasks impossible. You don’t have to be alone with it all. I’m here for you.
Types & Stages of Grief
Grief can be experienced not only from a loss of a loved one but also from other types of loss including a relationship, health, money, and more.

My Story
I have experienced profound grief at times in my life, from the death of my mother to the loss of my health due to chronic health issues. I know what it feels like to be overtaken by grief, to have difficulty just getting out of bed, the deep sense of loss and longing, and just needing to find a way to make it through another day.
As a coach for the past 20 years, I have had the honor of being there for my clients not only in creating a life they love but also when life is painful and full of hardship.
I have had extension training as a coach from some of the best in the world including the legendary Thomas Leonard (known as “the father of coaching”), International Coaching Federation (of which I’m a founding member of the local chapter here in Western New York), Coachville, and other reputable sources.
I have also dedicated my life to the study of the mind and its nature. I have a body of work I call Life as a Wave that can help you entice a more peaceful, grounded state of mind, even in the midst of incredible challenges and hardship as well as create forward movement in your life when you’re ready.
Two Ways I Can Help
No matter where you find yourself in the grieving process, I can be there for you to work through whatever challenges you face and to consider possibilities for the future.
The Power of Partnership
Health & Peak Performance

Carl, you need to know what a huge impact you had on my life when we were roommates in music school, I lost 70 lbs (!) in 12 weeks because of what you showed me. And you taught me how to live my life. You told me things that I’ll never forget.
And Jimmy, remember him barging in and doing push-ups in front of the tv? How he put down the booze, lost weight, and got those huge shoulders?!
I often speak of those days you helped us both out, coming up with a nutrition plan, working out together, coaching us on life and how to live it to the max. You did all that – you, my friend. You need to tell your story, guy. The world needs to hear what you have to say, so don’t be so damn modest about it!
What's Possible
To feel like someone gets it. That you're not alone. You're going to be ok.
To be able to breath into it all. To know that no matter how painful things are, that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel. And more than that, there's a future for you. One that you may not see at present but with time and the right kind of loving, encouraging support, a future of meaning, of purpose, a life to be lived with joy in the midst of the pain, with courage and conviction in the midst of crippling fear and uncertainty at times, of peace and serenity in the midst of the chaos, the noise, the confusion.
