About me

My background begins with 15 year career in financial software development, after four years as an electrical engineer major and an initial job as lead network technician. My hobbies included D&D, MMORPG’s, reading about brain science and quantum physics, and writing science fiction. My twenty years of ontological and communication training laid the foundation for several years of personal work with the Inner Aspect Method. My formal training as a somatic life and relationship coach also included exploring the manifestation of my autism and its patterns. My training provided the complete structure to integrate that with all my left-brain experience so I can relate to your world. Let’s apply a trauma-informed coaching tool set to help you discover solutions to some of your life’s persistent glitches.

Decoding Relationships

There is not just one right design to design an intimate relationship or even work relationships, or to heal from past trauma. Together, we will identify the repeating neurological patterns you’ve developed and help you build upgraded routines for who you are now. This is a powerful, adaptable process that goes deep while keeping moving toward goals you set.

Here's what my clients say

"Kirk is an excellent coach! He helped me understand parts of myself that were causing me a lot of pain unconsciously and he did so in a way that was imaginative and kind. I really feel he is a great listener and wise in what he sees about you. I still have the mantra of my inner Paladin taped to my monitor!

Because we are both gamers, he was able to speak right to my heart. He understands that I think about my inner world in terms of wizards, witches and leveling up. That meant his coaching resonated on a deep level for me and was really fun! "
