Let’s Navigate The Path Together

Hello, I’m Mike
I’m dedicated to living my life with love, compassion, and joy. It’s a practice. I’ve developed tools to navigate life with a healthy mindset. I love serving my community as a coach, mediator, and lawyer. I want to work with you on your journey, whether it’s coaching or conflict resolution.
About 10 years ago, I was an Army lawyer struggling with undiagnosed post-traumatic stress and depression. I was not happy despite career success, financial security, and achieving many external goals. I wasn’t present in my marriage and felt little joy. I ruminated over harm that I caused. I struggled with the trauma of war, and the injustice in our legal system and community.
I needed to make changes but I didn’t know where to start. I was too obstinate (and perhaps scared) to ask for help so I undertook the journey alone (don’t do that). I dove into mindfulness and spirituality. I learned how to take care of my mind, body, and spirit.
I realized, however, that I needed support along my path. An unsupported journey was taking me longer than needed to cultivate a healthy head space. I needed community and support. I needed to share with others and grow with a community.
I eventually found community dedicated to mindfulness and holistic health. I started talking to a therapist. I work with a coach. I found peace and joy in yoga, meditation, service, and even in my career as a lawyer.
I created a life committed to my values so that I can cultivate fulfillment, love, joy, compassion, and connection with others, no matter my career title or life situation. It was hard (and still a practice) to connect with my intuition and authenticity. The beginning of the inner discovery path was a challenge because I did not know where to begin or where to find community. I hope I can save you some steps.
I would love to work with you if you’re ready to explore your path to joy and fulfillment. Let’s navigate your journey. I’m here to offer support and hold space whether you are looking for some life wellness guidance or conflict resolution.

A++++
I met Mike at an event for Veterans that he volunteered his time to help anyone and everyone that he could. I went in with a very atypical case for that type of event. The case I brought had been going on for about 3.5 years at the time and I was about at the point of giving up. Over the course of the next two days Mike and I worked together and with others to resolve my entire case. Mike was great! He worked with me and let me be a part of my legal process, I know that's not necessarily what every client wants but I did. He was vigilant and very professional. If you want a lawyer that will do everything he can for you, this is your guy. Thank you Mike!

The Only Choice
Mike is a consummate professional and a truly selfless individual. His expertise, calm demeanor, strategic approach and patience make him the perfect person to navigate what could be complex legal matters. He is also extremely generous with his time and is clearly motivated by his desire to help people rather than billable hours. His knowledge of the laws as well as his ability to understand the motivation of the other legal teams to find common ground were hugely important as helped my wife and I navigate unfamiliar territory.
