Everything you want
is on the other side of the work.
I work with capable, sensitive, intelligent people (individuals and couples) who know what they want—but keep getting caught in the same internal loop: overthinking, hesitation, self-attack, and stalled momentum.
They don’t need more information. They need a cleaner relationship with themselves so action becomes possible. They have insight and intelligence, but their life has outgrown their current way of being in it.
The Work
The work is practical and embodied.
My role is to pay close attention to what’s actually happening beneath the explanations, the strategies, and the story you’ve learned to tell about yourself or your relationship. Then to stay present long enough for something more honest to emerge.
We don’t just talk about your patterns, we track them in real time: the moment you leave your body, the moment you start future-casting, the moment the inner drill sergeant shows up.
Then we build the third position: a steadier inner “Chairman of the Board” who can hold fear, hold ambition, hold vulnerability—without getting hijacked.
I listen carefully. I don’t rush to insight. And when the moment is right, I’m willing to say the thing that cuts through confusion rather than adding to it.
People leave with:
cleaner decisions
more consistent follow-through
less self-negotiation
a repeatable way to meet resistance
real-world movement (income, publishing, relationship clarity, creating, leading)
The Method
My offer isn’t coaching. It’s discernment.
I can feel where you’re performing, where you’re split, and where your integrity is leaking—emotionally, energetically, and behaviorally.
We bring you back online and then we translate that into action.You may have language for your patterns, a long history of inner work, and meaningful support — and still find yourself circling the same decisions, habits, or relational dynamics.
The aim is simple: cleaner choices, more consistent follow-through, greater clarity and discipline, deeper access to inner wisdom, and far less tolerance for the subtle ways you avoid getting fully engaged with your life.
Resistance → movement
Double-bind → third way
Integrity → follow-through
Couples
I help couples get out of the invisible loops that keep them stuck, where one person pursues, the other withdraws, or both stay “nice” while resentment quietly grows.
Instead of adjudicating who’s right, I slow the interaction down and help each partner see what’s actually happening in the moment: the fear underneath the defensiveness, the longing underneath the criticism, the pattern underneath the fight.
The work isn’t about better communication tricks—it’s about restoring contact. When each person can stay present with themselves and the relationship, something shifts: blame softens, honesty becomes safer, and real repair becomes possible. From that place, couples don’t just resolve conflicts—they learn how to meet each other again, with clarity, dignity, and choice.
Testimonials
“I want you to know how much I have and do appreciate Keith, not only in the work he did with us, but also the honest and gifted person that he is. I have seen his beautiful flexibility flowing into the waters of the unknown in our business and taking responsibility when no one could even know what that responsibility was.”
Terri O’Fallon
Founder of STAGES International
“Keith is not afraid to cut with a sharper edge when needed. He takes transformational work out of the therapeutic "safe" container while being guided by heart that shows up big and committed to the deeper awareness that dwells in the core. I feel safer around Keith for the reason that he is willing to take risk, willing to say what is unsaid and to deliver it without compromise. His practice as a martial artist and Zen practitioner brings a grounded presence that supports a container in going toward what matters.”
Marco Chung-Shu Lam
Clinic Director of the Mandala Integrative Medicine Clinic
“Keith brings vast and diverse personal experience and insight to his work with men's issues.
He'll quietly listen and affirm the story we tell (ourselves and others) and when the moment is right, offer that sniper-like bolt of clarity that cuts through it all to the heart of the issue and provide the light that illuminates the path forward.
He’s an adept — a sherpa — that can aid your journey. One only need ask for his guidance.”
Casey Capshaw
Director of Operations, Strada
“He’s not just a wordsmith extraordinaire he’s the guy you want to have your back on a crucial project or professional conundrum. Keith’s clarity, subtlety, and grace inspire me as a writer, a reader, and an entrepreneur. But what truly makes him a cut above are his huge heart and fiercely clarifying presence.”
Angela Raines
Professional Writer
“Keith stands apart in his capacity to float fluently between constructive analysis of your work, and your more spiritual and psychological personality traits that are at play. He cuts through the nonsense to target precisely what’s holding you back.”
Katherine Armstrong
Attorney and Entrepreneur
“Keith brings a completely unique intensity and insight to his coaching. Quite simply, he was able to do more in less time than many therapists, coaches, and other professionals who have come in and out of my life over the last 25 years.”
Bill Brakemeier
Senior Trainer & Coach at CGI Franchise
“I am consistently impressed with Keith’s insight and ability to quickly deepen with others in a way that treads beyond the comfort zone but brings people with him. Keith has a great balance of grounded power and confidence and the capacity to reveal his own vulnerability. I am inspired by his dedication to his own evolution as much as his skill in contributing to the evolution of others.”
Eddie Konold
MA, LPC, CAC II
“The thing you need to know about Keith is that he has done and is doing the work himself every day. What does this mean for you? It means that you can expect no judgment, but also that his bullshit detector is on high. If you’re ready to dig in and get real, he’s your man.”
James Edwards
Chief Executive Officer, Drylands Agroecology Research
“Keith has always approached me from a solid grounding in his body, which helps land everything…right here. But it’s his own continued opening into the most vulnerable and raw places within his heart that has me so deeply trust him.
And it is all three together - wisdom, ground, heart - that has Keith being a man I turn to when I’m faced with the biggest challenges I have.”
Bryce Widom
Professional artist + transformational guide
“Keith’s in-depth understanding of human development really helped us cut quickly to key areas that are holding me back. His samurai sword of clarity and compassion helps me feel safe in our sessions, while his finely calibrated bullshit detector deftly uncovers where I’m fooling myself.”
Mark Bloomfield
former CEO Radiant Labs
"My experience co-facilitating, shoulder-to-shoulder with Keith continues to shift and grow as I witness him beautifully evolving as a man, a leader, and a skillful, courageous, heart-full facilitator. Keith possesses -- and continually refines -- his own rare blend of deep discipline (Zen and Kung Fu are in his bones), a humble and heart-centered practice in relationship to other humans, and a fierceness of sight and challenge that is matched only by his love of laughter and connection. If you're looking for a unique, powerful, insightful, skilled, and loving guide, look no further ."
Jeffrey James Howard
MA, LPC, Soul Guide
“Keith has committed himself to the kind of work that most dare not — he has acknowledged complicated truths that shine light on uncomfortable corners of my reality that demand attention, once seen. He rings the bell that cannot be unrung. He’ll go the edge with you and guide you gracefully beyond it because he’s been there himself… and for this I am infinitely grateful for his presence in my life.”

Company Founder and CEO
"By session six, I was stunned. In just six hours of work together, we’d covered ground it usually takes months to reach. I was already recommending Keith after our second session. His gravity is rare—you feel it take over, and eventually start carrying it yourself. "
