Michael coaches people of all genders and sexual preferences, and his specialty is helping gay men develop genuine self-confidence that comes from being more of who you are.
Being gay presents unique challenges including developing a true sense of self, healing shame, loneliness, and finding meaningful connections with other men. Through both 1-on-1 and group coaching, his mission is to help gay men all over the world feel a stronger sense of self-worth.
