Hi, I’m Liam.
“I coach not by being another outside source of what you should be doing, but by offering a welcoming into the wholeness of who you are.”
︎ ︎
Our work centers around queering the lens through which we view the world, honors the experiences that have shaped you, and celebrates that fullness as we chart a path forward that’s uniquely yours.
All parts of you are welcome.
How I Can Help
Be here now.
We all want to get somewhere in life, yet the only way to truly arrive is to be here now. In our sessions, we’ll work together in the present, exploring the possibilities that exist within and beyond your current experience. I find that the clients I resonate most deeply with are those who’ve experienced some level of “otherness” or historical oppression and who feel drawn to the possibility of a more integrated, expansive self.
In Integral Coaching®, we focus on vertical development—the process of deepening self-awareness, cultivating resilience, and embracing the fullness of who you are. This work allows you to grow in ways that go far beyond building new skills. However, skill development inevitably weaves into our journey, creating a “diagonal” path forward: as we deepen vertically, practical skills emerge naturally along the way. So whether you’re exploring your identity, navigating relationships, or building skills for life’s challenges, our work will support you on multiple levels.
Many of my clients come to me during periods of transition, as they explore queer or questioning identities, non-traditional relationships, and facets of their sexuality. Together, we create a space to examine these layers of identity, along with the impacts of otherness, trauma, and societal norms. Our work acknowledges the complexities and richness of your lived experience, offering support as you step more fully into your whole self.
Some of the ways coaching can support you:
- Deepening your sense of identity
- Embracing life’s complexities and contradictions
- Navigating changes in relationships, work, or lifestyle
- Exploring Queer identities, polyamory, ENM, and other non-traditional ways of relating
- Seeking greater self-discovery and personal growth
- Moving through reinvention, mid-life transitions, or times of uncertainty

My Approach
My commitment is to be fully with you in the witnessing of your life.
Within the common bonds we share and the vastness of our differences lay the opportunities for us to discover new ways of viewing the world, orienting to situations, and navigating more helpful paths forward.
Attunement.
(əˈtjuːnmənt)
The reactiveness we have to another person. It is the process by which we form relationships.
Coaching with me is a shared process of attunement—a deep, relational connection where we can explore, question, and grow together. Our work begins with the understanding that true transformation happens through authentic connection. By building an environment rooted in collaboration and mutual respect, we open the door to deeper learning and growth.
Queering the lens
Above: Christopher Street Peer, 2019Coaching with a “queered” lens means continually challenging norms and binary thinking, creating space for authenticity and fluidity. As someone with shared experiences within the LGBTQIA+ community, I bring an awareness of the complexities that come with queerness, otherness, and the exploration of identity. My queerness shapes my perspective and allows me to relate closely to many of my clients—but it’s not a requirement for our work together. I am here to support you in honoring your own truth, whatever form it takes, and to help you find a path that feels genuinely yours.
Everyone is welcome.

Engage
What to expect
Commitment
A typical coaching relationship with me begins with a commitment of at least six months. I don’t set an “end date” up front because our work is a journey, not a timeline. This flexible approach allows us to create a natural pace that encourages stillness, openness to new practices, and space for real exploration.
What I ask in return is your openness in exchange for my commitment: openness to share whole-heartedly, to make space in your life for our work, and to trust the coaching process as it unfolds.
Logistics
Sessions can take place remotely over Zoom or in person in the San Francisco Bay Area, lasting about 50 minutes each.
What Integral Coaching is, and is not.
Coaching vs. Therapy
Our coaching sessions are not therapy in the traditional sense. While we’ll honor and acknowledge the influences of your past, our focus is on the present and future, helping you explore what’s possible beyond your current capacities. Coaching can feel therapeutic as we discover new practices, perspectives, and pathways forward, but it is not designed to process childhood traumas or specific diagnoses. I’m happy to provide referrals if we find overlap in these areas.
Together, we’ll focus on seeing, accepting, and reshaping the patterns and perspectives that inform where you want to go, building a path that is both aligned and empowering.
Coaching vs. Consulting
Coaching is also distinct from consulting. I’m not here to tell you what you “should” be doing or to offer step-by-step solutions. Instead, my role is to help you tap into your own inner wisdom, to guide you toward what’s true for you. If you’re interested in mentorship or consulting based on my professional experience, please feel free to inquire about that type of engagement.
Equity
It is my wish and intention to make coaching accessible for as many folks as possible, and am conscious that session fees may be financially out of reach for some who may need coaching most.
I would like to trust that those of us with ample means will pay our share, (and perhaps even sponsor another with less means), and those with less will pay lower rates.
I’ve borrowed the sliding scale structure of the Anti Oppression Resource & Training Alliance and I welcome you to self-select your rates with no questions asked.
Please let me know if you’d like to discuss.
