I help high achievers live with purpose and experience greater freedom.
I earned a master's in international economics from Columbia and spent a decade on Wall Street as a global macroeconomist. My work focused on understanding the forces shaping wealth, markets, and the global economy.
Over time I learned the limitations of economic models. Many of the most successful people I met were still struggling. Despite wealth, opportunity, and achievement, anxiety and dissatisfaction were rampant.
What I came to understand is that most of our suffering lives not in our circumstances, but in our minds.
That brought me to meditation, Buddhist psychology, and eventually end-of-life care work — sitting with people in their most tender moments and learning what actually matters.
I went back to school at Naropa University, where I earned a master's in mindfulness-based transpersonal counseling. My work draws from Internal Family Systems, Gestalt therapy, somatic and mindfulness practices, solution-focused approaches, and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
I also work with clients around psychedelic preparation and integration — helping people approach these experiences intentionally and make meaning of what arises.
Today my work focuses on helping people thrive by understanding themselves more deeply, clarifying what truly matters, and building lives that feel aligned and alive.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you.
I write about psychology and inner life at Psychology Today.
Areas of focus
For leaders who are succeeding externally but sensing something is missing. I bring both analytical rigor and clinical training so we can work at the level where real change happens.
Career pivots, identity shifts, major decisions, significant experiences. When the old map no longer works, I help people find their footing, make meaning of what happened, and move forward with more clarity and intention.
Money is rarely just money. I help individuals and couples untangle the emotional patterns behind spending, saving, and financial decisions, bringing both economic fluency and therapeutic depth to the work.
I enjoy facilitating groups and offer men's retreats in the Catskills each year. Time in nature, honest conversation, and shared inquiry. Reach out for more information.
How it works
We start with a free thirty-minute conversation. You share what's going on, ask whatever you want. The only goal is to see if it feels like a good fit.
If we decide to work together, I'll send a more in-depth questionnaire. It helps me understand your background and what matters most before we begin.
Sessions are an hour. We open with a few minutes of mindfulness or a guided visualization, then go wherever feels most important. We usually start weekly and adjust from there.
I'll often suggest a small practice or experiment to try. Most of the change happens between sessions. I'm also reachable if something important comes up.
Things tend to get clearer. Often the circumstances can stay similar, but how you understand yourself and relate to your life shifts. Most people find it starts to feel larger and more aligned.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." e.e. cummings
What clients say
"There are tangible outcomes I can point to — a raise, increased scope, a new reporting structure I favor. But I'm most grateful for the day-to-day changes in how I feel and carry myself. I'm much less anxious, and I feel a spaciousness that lets me focus on strategic work without getting tangled in the interpersonal stuff that used to make me spiral."

"Jeff understands the world I come from. He's thoughtful, grounded, and able to meet complex conversations without overcomplicating them. Our work helped me get clearer about what actually matters and how I want to live. Somewhere along the way I got a spark back that I didn't realize I had lost — and it's changed the way I show up in my relationships."
— Executive coaching client
"Jeff is fluent in both corporate excellence and being a happy human being — he can meet you where those two things interact. Imagine if Rick Rubin used to be a Director at JP Morgan, then went into coaching instead of music. That's Jeff, but even more joyful."
