Explore your desires.
Come home to yourself.
What might your desire be asking you to explore and reclaim?
In today’s complex world, it’s easy to lose touch with our inner longings.
We cling to the familiar, resist the call for change, or chase endless self-improvement—yet often end up feeling lost, confused, or inadequate, doubting our ability to move toward what truly matters.
If that resonates, you’re in the right place.
Together, we’ll explore the rich tapestry of your inner world. We’ll clarify your desires and gently examine the parts of you that hold back. As you welcome and integrate these inner voices, your natural sense of purpose, wholeness, and creativity will reemerge.
Are you ready to explore your desires and come home to yourself?
“This universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself.”
— Rumi
Hi, I am Stephen Tracy. 👋
A curious, big-hearted, dachshund-loving personal coach living in New York City.
Drawing on my varied experiences—from working at Google, to candle-making, to navigating my own desires through years of coaching—I’m here to support you in exploring your deepest desires.
Unlike traditional coaching or therapy that focuses on diagnoses or self-improvement, my approach isn’t about "fixing" or "solving" things.
Instead, I work in an unfolding style—we assume you are already whole and complete, and we get curious about what might be keeping your wholeness from fully expressing itself.
Together, we’ll welcome your desires and any related concerns with curiosity and compassion. In doing so, you’ll deepen your self-understanding and support the natural, integrated process of expressing all that truly matters to you.
If you’re ready to explore your desires—and yourself—with genuine curiosity, book a free introductory call below.

Is this right for you?
I work with people who feel ready to move through the stuckness they’re experiencing—in life, work, or relationships—with greater self-awareness, compassion, and intention.
You might be navigating a major transition, wrestling with self-doubt, or sensing that something important is trying to emerge from within you. My clients are often LGBTQ+ individuals, creative professionals, or soul-led entrepreneurs seeking clarity, integration, and meaningful momentum.
In our sessions, we meet as equals. You bring your lived experience and inner wisdom; I offer presence, gentle guidance, and structured support. Together, we’ll explore your inner landscape through deep listening, Parts Work (IFS), Focusing, and somatic awareness—all aimed at helping you reconnect with your truth and reclaim your sense of wholeness.
Whether you're longing for more intimacy, clarity, confidence, or simply a deeper relationship with yourself, this coaching is here to meet you.
