Providing mentoring support for young men and their families in the Boulder/Denver area since since 2009

These are tough times, especially for young men. The world is moving so fast—AI, automation, economic uncertainty, and nonstop conflict and polarization. It’s no wonder you might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about where you’re headed.

​

And when life feels uncertain, it’s natural to retreat into what feels comfortable—gaming, scrolling, streaming, whatever helps you escape for a bit. That works for a while, but eventually it starts to feel too small, like you’re not really living the life you want.

​

So what’s the alternative? It’s not about fixing everything at once. It’s about practicing a few simple skills that make a huge difference:​​

  • Focusing on yourself instead of all the outside noise.

  • Sticking with your experience, even when it feels tough.

  • Getting clear on what matters to you—your values, your goals, your purpose.​​

  • Putting your energy into small steps that move you forward, even on hard days.

​

When you practice these skills, life starts to feel bigger, clearer, and more doable. You gain confidence, and you begin moving toward the things that actually matter to you.

​

That’s where Balance Mind Coaching comes in. I work with young men who want to get unstuck and start building the life they actually want. For over 15 years, I’ve been helping guys figure out things like:

​

  • Clarifying values, goals, and purpose

  • Doing better in school

  • Finding and keeping a job

  • Building structure and improving focus

  • Communicating and building relationships

  • Managing money and responsibilities

  • Taking care of your health, fitness, and well-being​

I also support young men who are dealing with things like procrastination, overthinking, anxiety, depression, ADHD or neurodivergence, and addictive patterns—whether it’s tech, substances, or other habits that get in the way.

​

The approach is simple: learning to be more present, practicing skills that help you work with your mind and body better, and taking steps that actually line up with your values.

​

If you’re ready to try something different, I’d love to support you. This isn’t about doing everything at once—it’s about starting small, building confidence, and moving forward in a way that feels real and doable.
