I’m Jesse, and a big part of who I am has been shaped by taking a path that has not always been straightforward.

I’ve spent much of my professional life in healthcare, behavioral health, public service, and community-focused work. I’m also continuing my education in psychology, and outside of work I host The Sync’d Self podcast, where I get to have honest conversations about mental health, relationships, growth, leadership, technology, and the everyday things that shape how we live.

What has stayed consistent through all of those experiences is my interest in people—what motivates us, what gets us stuck, how we make decisions, and what helps us move forward.

I also know what it is like to juggle different responsibilities, question what comes next, change direction, and realize that the plan you once had may not be the plan you ultimately follow. Those experiences are a big part of why coaching feels meaningful to me.

I’m not someone who believes you need to completely reinvent yourself to make progress. Sometimes it is about getting clearer on what matters, being honest about what is not working, and taking the next step—even if that step is small.

Outside of coaching, I enjoy traveling, writing, podcasting, spending time with the people I care about, exploring new places, and finding ways to stay involved in my community.

More than anything, I want the people I work with to feel comfortable showing up as themselves. You do not need to have the perfect plan, the perfect words, or everything figured out before we start.

You can come as you are, and we can figure out what comes next from there.

FAQs

Still need more clarity? Here are answers to some commonly asked questions.

Is the discovery call really free?

Button

Yes. The discovery call is completely free, and there is no obligation to book a coaching session afterward.

How long is the discovery call?

Button

Discovery calls are approximately 15–20 minutes.

Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?

Button

No formal preparation is required. It can be helpful to think about what brought you to coaching, what you may want support with, and any questions you would like to ask.

What will we talk about?

Button

We’ll briefly discuss what brings you to coaching, what you hope to work toward, and what you are looking for in a coach. I’ll also explain my approach and answer any questions you have.

What happens after the discovery call?

Button

If we both feel coaching is a good fit, we can discuss which service or next step makes the most sense for you. There is no pressure to make a decision during the call.

Is the discovery call a coaching session?

Button

Not quite. The discovery call is primarily an opportunity for us to meet, talk about your goals, and determine whether working together makes sense. Deeper coaching work takes place during your scheduled coaching sessions.

What if coaching isn’t the right fit for what I need?

Button

That’s completely okay. Part of the discovery call is making sure coaching is appropriate for what you’re looking for. If your needs fall outside the scope of coaching, I may recommend seeking support from an appropriate licensed professional.
