Matt brings a grounded, embodied approach to coaching shaped by his training in Mindfulness-Based Counseling and his own recovery journey. He helps families develop a working relationship with difficult emotions, using mindfulness and body-based awareness to move from reactivity into connection.
Matt is currently completing his master’s degree in Mindfulness-Based Counseling at Naropa University and is pursuing licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). His professional interests and clinical leanings have been shaped by both his graduate training and lived experience. Matt got sober during the pandemic and the depth of that recovery journey continues to inform his work—bringing humility, compassion and a deep respect for the courage it takes to change. In his practice, he focuses on how mindfulness supports a working relationship with difficult emotions and how body-based awareness can help clients step out of rumination, reactivity and self-criticism.
Whether Matt's in the backcountry on a bike or a board, sweating through a gym session, playing music or cooking for his family, he's at his best when he's outdoors, moving his body, being creative and connecting with others. Matt cherishes his home life with his wife and 9-year-old twins as it keeps him humble, grateful and on his toes. When his family isn't adventuring outdoors or traveling, you’ll often find them hosting friends, family and neighbors. They love sharing food, laughing a lot and building their community.

Matt is one of the most reflective, thoughtful, and caring people I know. And he's had to work through some very real struggles in his own life journey so he is no stranger to the process that it can take to heal from generational trauma and unlock new patterns and legacies for yourself and your kids. I am so thankful to have Matt on our team at Labs and even more thankful to have called him a friend for a very long time.
