Coaching for Gay Men
Many gay men find their way here—not because they’re looking for identity coaching, but because something in the work feels familiar to them.
Often, it’s a shared understanding of what it means to live outwardly functional, successful lives while carrying quieter questions underneath.
Questions about aliveness, intimacy, desire, worth, visibility—or what it actually means to live honestly as yourself.
This page is simply here to name that resonance.
What I often notice
Many gay men I work with have learned—early and intelligently—how to adapt.
They’ve built careers, relationships, and lives that work. They’re capable, thoughtful, and resilient. And yet, beneath that competence, there’s often a sense that something essential feels muted, undernourished, or slightly out of reach.
Sometimes this shows up as:
restlessness or numbness despite “having it together”
intimacy that looks fine on the outside but feels thin or effortful
desire that feels complicated rather than celebratory
fatigue with self-improvement narratives that promise more than they deliver
questions about aging, embodiment, masculinity, or belonging that don’t have obvious answers
Often, it means something essential is asking to be felt more fully.
How my own experience shapes how I listen
My own life as a gay man has shaped the way I listen.
It’s given me lived familiarity with how shame, adaptation, brilliance, resilience, and longing can coexist in the same person. And with the particular relief that comes from being met without explanation.
Because of that, there’s little that needs explaining here.
We can start from where you already are.
The work isn’t about fixing identity or becoming a “better version” of yourself. It’s about creating space to relate more honestly and gently with what’s already here.
What this work is—and isn’t
This work is not:
dating or sex coaching
therapy or diagnosis
performance or optimization-focused coaching
It is:
embodied, present-moment exploration
attention to sensation, emotion, and inner movement
space to stay with desire, resistance, and uncertainty without forcing resolution
an invitation to build a more trusting, lived relationship with yourself
Sometimes themes of sexuality, intimacy, or eros are central.
Sometimes they aren’t present at all.
The work follows what’s alive, rather than steering toward any particular content.
How gay men often arrive here
People arrive in many different ways.
Some come during moments of transition—after a breakup, a career shift, or a period of burnout. Others come because life is “working,” yet something inside feels unfinished. Still others arrive simply because they’re curious about themselves in a deeper, quieter way.
A sense that something here deserves attention is often enough.
If you’re curious to explore further
If something on this page resonates, you’re welcome to explore further.
You might begin with the Five Invitations Back Into Aliveness, a gentle, experiential way of listening. You might read some of the writing and notice what stirs. Or, if it feels right, you can book a free introductory conversation and see what it’s like to slow down together.
Sometimes recognition itself is the movement. ❤️🏳️🌈
