Why 'Sage
Journey'
Sage means 'wise' and it's also a plant used to cleanse for healing.
Aaron has been practicing therapy for over 10 years as a fellow seeker in life. The decision to face our healing is a brave decision that comes from hope but it also invites us into connecting with the story of our pain, trauma, fear, overwhelm, and feeling empty or lost at times. We must feel our wounds as they heal. And safe connection where you can feel seen and heard, is vital as you begin to make sense of your story.
Aaron helps his therapy clients on their sacred journey face and overcome trauma, addictions, and grieve losses. As a high conflict diversion coach, he helps his coaching clients navigate unbelievably stressful, and painful high conflict divorces and custody cases.
​
When you are ready, book a session with Aaron and begin to understand and then rewrite the story that has kept you trapped in patterns you're ready to break. Start your wise, healing journey today.
Aaron's Sessions
Somatic Therapy &
Coaching for High Conflict Custody
Aaron provides support through individual therapy, group therapy (for sex addiction), psychedelic integration, and high conflict diversion coaching. The foundation of each of these sessions is a focus on the central nervous system because healing and growth don't happen when you're dysregulated in fight, flight, freeze.
​
Each of these sessions provides opportunity to approach your pain points with curiosity, grounding support for the nervous system, and non-judgement for whatever comes up. Our bodies are the clearing house for all the things we didn't have the support to face in our past. Aaron's approach helps you clear out what no longer serves you to open up new and fresh space for what you want to bring into your life.
Sex Addiction
Group Therapy
Get support that goes beyond establishing abstinence from problematic sexual behaviors. This group supports men as they learn about their feelings, how to regulate their central nervous system, and create a vision to become the man they've been afraid to become their whole life. Living with integrity and courage starts with begins honest, no matter the cost.
High Conflict Diversion Coaching
Divorce and Custody Cases
One of the most painful, overwhelming things your can go through in life is a high conflict court situation where your children are involved.
​
In these coaching sessions you will learn how important awareness of your CNS reactivity is to being a grounded, calm and resilient parent through somatic training first, and then understanding how your own reactivity is contributing to the conflict.
​
You can't change your co-parent - you must let go because trying to get them to see your point or do things your way is actually a big part of the conflict that you're contributing to and it's affecting your kids.
Disengaging from the external conflict from your co-parent, not reacting to your own internal narratives, and getting the kids out of the middle of the conflict in every way you can help reduce your stress and give you and your family a stable, secure foundation to live from.

Somatic Therapy
Individual Therapy
Anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction are all symptoms of the root issue - you're wounded. Aaron uses an eclectic approach that starts with learning to track your body so that you can be consciously aware of what's happening in your central nervous system. You need space in your nervous system before we can talk about strategies. Quick fixes won't work - you've probably tried them. A bottom-up (slow is smooth and smooth is fast) approach will actually teach you the skills to regulate yourself through your journey.
Psychedelic Integration Support
Integrate Journeys
& Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Individuals who have had psychedelic experiences may not know how to make sense of them or find stability if they had a challenging experience.
​
As a certified psychedelic-assisted therapy provider, Aaron is trained to hold space with non-judgement and curiosity about whatever you've experienced. He also uses somatic grounding approaches to both help you regulate through distressing outcomes as well as ground into "living what you've learned" and resourcing yourself so that you feel safe in your body to keep exploring previous experiences.
​
Aaron also works with Journey Clinical to provide Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, which has been show to be helpful in treating depression, anxiety, trauma as well as other conditions.

Strong reasons people choose to use a coach
Cost
Most lawyers rates are $300-500/hr. Asking all of the questions you will have can become expensive very quickly. Using a coach helps save money during a very long, expensive litigation process.
Availability
Your lawyer's job is to represent and protect you legally. They have many cases they are working on and don't have the bandwidth to answer questions that are often unrelated to legal matters.
Support on messaging
Your coach can help you evaluate and revise messages you need to send you your co-parent. Once you learn how to spot how high conflict can creep into your messages, which messages need a response, and which ones don't, your headache factor can drop.
Set expectations and have a long-term strategy
Lawyers don't always prepare you for what to expect .
You need to be prepared for how long this will take to get final orders, how exhausting it will become with the delays and uncertainty. Having a strategy for how you're going to stay resilient under such high stress will help you perform better in court and also your kids need you to avoid burnout.
Hearing, trial, and mediation preparation
A coach will help you think through what you want things to look like in 5 years, what you can do to get there, and what you're willing to do to make it happen. This becomes incredibly important to know and not lose site of during stressful days in court because it will keep you focused through all the noise that you will face.
Training and Competency
Your lawyers are legal professionals but they usually are not trained in understanding the nuance of attachment, the role a dysregulated central nervous system plays in high conflict situations, or high conflict personalities and the patterns they bring to the table - this is what a coach specializes in.
Let your lawyer handle the litigation while you get coached on strategies that help you disengage from conflict, train you to regulate your reactions/responses, and to put the kids first.
