Beat Depression
with deep coaching
shift focus
change habits
elevate your life
Hi, I’m Kent.
If you are depressed, I understand the struggle. If the darkness and misery have persisted, despite your best efforts, I want you to know there is hope. Depression is more than just a chemical imbalance; it’s also a way of thinking, acting, and being–which you have the power to change. And I can help you. How do I know you can change? Because I was once told my depression would stop me from living a normal life, but now my life is stable and fulfilling.
My coaching may be right for you, if:
You lack motivation to do things that once brought you pleasure.
The trappings of outer world success have left you feeling empty.
You have lost intimacy with your partner and don’t know how to reconnect.
People are frustrated and disappointed with you for “dropping the ball.”
You feel lonely and isolated.
You desire a life filled with more purpose and passion.
Antidepressants and therapy haven’t gotten you out of the funk.
You’re not sure of where else to turn.
What if depression isn’t something “wrong” with you, but a calling to live in a more effective and inspired way?
My coaching will help you:
Relieve Despair
Reveal the hidden patterns that cause depression and gain objective self-understanding.
Accelerate Change
Learn how to take “contrary action” and build new habits to create the happy life you deserve.
Strengthen connections
Release negativity towards yourself and others, paving the way for fulfilling relationships.

MY STORY
My story began unexpectedly, with a massive brain injury from a motorcycle accident at the age of 12. This injury, coupled with a later diagnosis of bipolar disorder and struggles with mental health, led me to hospital stays and alcohol rehabilitation programs.
My favorite saying, "No mud, no lotus," captures the essence of my work. This saying originates from Buddhist teachings and beautifully captures my personal journey and why I am here to assist you. It signifies that from the pain and suffering we endure, a sense of purpose and fulfillment can blossom.
Even after becoming sober from alcohol addiction in my mid-20s, I often found myself paralyzed by depression and experienced periods of homelessness. However, I never lost hope.
Through these experiences, I discovered that every painful moment was meant to wake me up to my true self, enabling me to be of service to you now.
Suffering became the mud from which my lotus emerged. And I believe this is possible for you too.
If you are currently feeling lost, isolated, or in pain, please know that I understand and I see you.
As a certified Enneagram practitioner, I delve into the core of your personality to unveil your true self and help you understand why you do what you do.
I am also certified in somatic healing, a practice that taps into the body's intelligence to release trauma and suffering.
Furthermore, with over 25 years of experience in personal development, I integrate mindfulness and practical eastern philosophy into my coaching approach.

Personality Typing Session
Know thyself and you'll be golden. In this 90-minute session, we will identify your Enneagram type, so you can understand yourself on a whole new level. The Enneagram is a shortcut to transformation. By pinpointing your type, you will reveal your deeper motivations, fears, and desires—showing what makes you tick.
Each person has unique strengths and challenges. Understanding your type means you can amplify your strengths while minimizing challenges. In our session, we'll uncover your gifts, limitations, and natural tendencies. This gives you the clarity to intentionally navigate through life.
Since most of what we communicate is nonverbal, online tests just can't stack up against the depth of human evaluation.
Sick and tired of feeling down and frustrated? Let’s work together to create the incredible life you deserve with my six-month signature program.
