A spacious life where fear & negativity are transformed into love

ABOUT

We all come from somewhere.

And along the way, we lose sight of our worth in the world.

It happens to all of us.

As a result, thoughts, habits and behaviors unconsciously drive our choices which keep us stuck in the very place where we separated from our worth. Stuck in fear, anger, worry and discontentment.

From the true nature of all that makes us good, unique and safe.

From our potential.

The good news is there is a solution.

All it takes on your part is the bravery to begin, and a willingness to change.

WHAT TO EXPECT: INTEGRATIVE COACHING

The sessions are a combination of both physical work and verbal exploration. 

My certification in Family Constellations is the foundation of my practice. The modality was created by Dr. Bert Hellinger, M.D., and is a healing approach designed to help reveal the hidden dynamics in a family or relationship in order to address any stressors impacting these relationships, how they’re playing out in our lives, and how to heal them.  

Core Energetics, created by Dr. John Pierrakos, M.D., also informs my practice. The work focuses on the balance and flow of energy between body, mind, emotions, spirit, and will in order to promote healing. Spending a decade in that modality myself, I know firsthand the power of moving the body to gain higher consciousness.

I also developed a play-based learning curriculum while guest lecturing at Stanford University to teach empathy, togetherness and creativity. Over the years, I’ve transformed that curriculum into a dynamic tool for healing.

Sessions are 55 minutes, and can be virtual or in-person at my NYC office.

Erin

“Working with Roger has changed the game for me. He is thoughtful, empathetic, and creates an atmosphere that challenges me in all the right ways. The work we’ve done together has had an immensely positive impact on my ability to show up for myself, in my relationships, and in my career.”

Oscar

“I have had the privilege to learn from and with Roger for almost 10 years now and here’s what I can tell you without a doubt: he is the most caring person, while challenging me to face my deepest shadows. If you want to truly expand, Roger is the person with whom to do that, safely and with love. “

Mikela

“Your work has guided me through many different obstacles with confidence and humility.”

Grace

“Roger has a way to get right through to the light that’s within me, and what’s attempting to dim that light. With compassion, intelligence, and laughter, I feel myself coming back to myself.”

About Me

I grew up in a home with addiction, in addition to being viciously bullied at school for being gay. From a young age, I didn’t feel safe in the world, like I belonged.
My own journey has led me to many coaches, therapists, practices, and certifications. The time I’ve spent learning alongside Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön, Family Constellations, as well as my own experience with Core Energetics, have all contributed to my own personal healing journey.
I’ve been a college professor since 2007, with an area of focus on play, and a published author with Routledge Press.
I developed the first-of-its kind course at The New School using play-based learning to teach empathy.

I am a coach, not a therapist. My work is not a substitute for any professional or medical consultation. Results of integrative coaching are not guaranteed and are dependent on the individual.

In this TEDx talk, I share my own personal journey with being a bullied kid, and how that led me to my life’s work – using play to uplift the potential of others, and create joy.

I say this to my clients, and myself, regularly.
