COACH & VETERAN

Hi, I'm Phillip. My mission is to help men reconnect with their true selves and embrace their unique path without shame.

A Bit About Me

My journey as a coach began long before I realized I wanted to be one. Growing up in a home impacted by mental illness set me on a lifelong search for meaning.

My struggles with depression and anxiety began early in life. Lacking a strong male presence, I started taking martial arts classes at age 11. Years later, following a career in the U.S. Coast Guard, a painful separation, and extensive work in various support groups, I realized what I really needed was structured way to do shadow work. I couldn't find what I needed anywhere, so I decided to create it.

I developed a framework for men to cultivate the four key masculine archetypes: the King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover, by merging the structured progression of a recovery program with Neo-Jungian archetypal psychology. My goal in the beginning was simply to help myself. However, I realized I developed something a lot of men need, a roadmap for masculine initiation.

Here are some challenges I can help you with:

Procrastination
Pornography addiction
Nice Guy Syndrome
Discovering your purpose
Substance abuse

This confusion often arises from not connecting with a crucial aspect of themselves known as the "King archetype." This archetype plays a vital role in defining what it means to be a mature man.

The Lover Archetype

Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows . - Rainer Maria Rilke In the landscape of the mature masculine psyche, the Lover is the archetype of vividness, aliveness, and passion . While the King provides order and the Warrior provides discipline, the Lover provides the "fire" —the fundamental appetite for life, sex, food, and creative adaptation. It is the energy of healthy embodiment , allowing a man to be in the world of sensuous pleasure w

The Magician Archetype

The shaman is the figure at the beginning of human history that unites the doctor, the scientist and the artist into a single notion of care-giving and creativity - Terence McKenna In the geography of the mature masculine psyche, the Magician represents the cognitive line of development .
