Coaching
I work with people going through seasons of burnout, transition, grief and growth. You might be asking yourself questions like:
- What is the point of this painful season?
- I'm doing "fine," but isn't there more?
- Can psychedelics help me?
Together, we can slow down, take a deep breath, and listen to your questions. Our work starts there. Keep reading for more on the coaching process and the results these clients seek.
Many of my clients are therapists, coaches, and healers who are curious about shifting their work in the direction of greater mindfulness, somatic healing, and psychedelics. These clients may want to experience these modalities themselves, and they want wise guidance on how to translate these modalities into practice.
Get Started
You want to do the work to make a change...
But you're not sure where to begin, and doing it alone hasn't worked. You may be coming with an interest or inclination that...
- Taking a moment to slow down and listen to yourself might help, but you haven't found a way that feels authentic to you
- You want more presence and peace, without needing to leave behind the part of you that gets things done
- You want to welcome your emotions as wise guides, and you're not sure how to do this without falling apart
- You want to feel good in your body, and you sometimes feel so disconnected that you don't know where to start
- You want to explore your spiritual nature with someone who is more interested in your questions than their answers
- You have an inclination that psychedelics might help, but you first want to explore your fears and your hopes for this work
Together, we'll explore what this season is asking of you, and we'll gently find your way to courageously move through it.
What my clients say:
“Paul is a thorough, warm, and patient guide. Paul amazed me with how present he was in every conversation. It felt like he was focused on me, truly listening, and like nothing else in the world mattered but that moment.”
– J.O., Private School Teacher, New England
What will we actually do together?
Slowing down to listen to what your inner life is already saying, through practices I've lived and taught for over a decade. Guided by my experience at Insight Meditation Society.
Remembering how to feel, and how to feel good in your body, as you learn to breathe easier and trust yourself more. Guided by body-centered exploration grounded in my training with the Hakomi Institute.
“Paul helped me to see how the last two years had taken a toll on my body. Our work became my north star until I came to know that I am my own north star. I am so grateful that I decided to change jobs and take care of my physical health first, confident that the time was not right for me to take a psychedelic journey.”

A Middle-Way Approach
Slow Enough to Listen.
Strong Enough to Change.
My coaching clients appreciate how I combine the presence, gentleness, and heart-centered curiosity of a therapist with the grounded, results-driven strengths of a lawyer. (More about me).
I also take a middle-way approach to psychedelics. I bring experience, reverence and awe of their potential. I also honor their risks, and the wisdom that many of our greatest journeys happen without psychedelic medicine.
Often, just slowing down and listening to ourselves is plenty psychedelic (from the Greek, meaning mind-manifesting or soul-revealing).
*Please note that I provide coaching, not access to psychedelic medicines.
"Working with Paul for over a year before I decided to do a psychedelic journey was cathartic. I think discussing what I was trying to discover helped me to form the trust that ultimately allowed me to surrender. I was able to feel true peace and contentment for the first time. Paul’s ability to review the process, explain things, ask questions, and listen to me allowed for me to be open. It was also a really important factor that I could reach out to Paul throughout the process if something did come up. Very comforting.”

Getting Started
If you're interested in 1:1 coaching, submit an inquiry below. We'll start with a free 30-minute conversation to see if we're a good fit.
If we are, my clients usually start with a 3-month engagement. We'll meet weekly or every two weeks, with sessions by video and email support in between sessions.
My current rates are $250 per session. In service of making time and space to slow down, sessions are 75 minutes.
I also maintain two pay-what-you-can spots. If cost is a barrier, please reach out. Even if we can't work together right now, I love making referrals to the great people I know who are working in this space.

An Invitation
Right here,
right now,
you are invited
To slow down.
To breathe.
And to listen.
I wonder
if you hear a call
to the middle way.
Your way
To lovingly embrace
All that you are.
I’d be honored
to find that way
with you.
Warmly,
Paul
