Hi, I’m Theo.

I’m a certified Whole Person coach, mindfulness teacher (MMTCP 2022), and trained Internal Family Systems practitioner. 

Offering care and support to others brings me great joy. It is deeply fulfilling to witness a client walk through challenges, grow, and thrive. It has embedded in me a deep belief in human resilience, connection, and spirit. 

When I work with people, I strive to bring what one of my teachers, Jack Kornfield, refers to as loving presence. I also bring a whole kit of tools and practices that have been invaluable to me on my own journey of growth and transformation. 

I serve as a coach and teacher at an amazing agency (Empower), with institutions, and with indivuduals. I help my clients and students with a variety of issues, and I’m excited to work with you.

"I am so grateful for the space that Theo held for me during our time working together. I felt very supported, comfortable and accepted in our sessions together. My life feels more in line with my values and I believe that stemmed from my time working with Theo."

My Story

Growing Up

I grew up a middle class kid in Seattle. I had everything I needed and some of what I wanted.

As in many other families, things were good until they weren’t, and when they weren’t I had a rough time.

My teens and twenties were fun, but also a heap of self-made trials and tribulations. I was functioning (barely), but I was full of fear and uncertainty.

I found myself living in New York as a photographer in the mid-2000s, coping with my anxieties in unhealthy ways I was not at home within myself.

I felt very alone. 

Beginning My Journey

In 2008 I was blessed with an existential crisis. I asked for help. This is where my journey really began. Asking for help was the best decision I have ever made. 

This began my journey of growth and transformation, which I continue to be on today. Along the way I’ve done an immense amount of healing, learned from some really amazing teachers, and embraced frameworks and practices that have allowed me to really enjoy life on planet earth, despite it’s inherent challenges. 

Here are some of the roles I am blessed with: father, husband, son, brother, uncle, friend, mentor, coach, teacher, laugh maker (on a good day), servant.

It took time, and a lot of help, but I now have a full and beautiful life. My passion is to support others in finding their way to a full and beautiful life of their own.
