Coaching For Individuals
I work with high-performing individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or inconsistent under pressure. People who know they’re capable of more, but can’t seem to access it when it matters most.
Through my Therapish Process, we combine deep self-awareness with real, forward-moving action. You won’t just talk about your past. You’ll understand how it’s impacting you right now, learn how to regulate your emotions in real time, and build a clear identity for who you want to become.
From there, we take intentional steps forward.
This is structured, results-driven coaching focused on three outcomes:
Emotional control under stress
Consistent habits and follow-through
A strong, clearly defined identity
If you’re tired of overthinking, second-guessing, or falling back into the same patterns, this is where that changes.
Under Pressure Program for Schools, Businesses, and Organizations
I partner with schools, businesses, and organizations to help teens and adults better understand and manage stress, emotions, and pressure in real time.
My work is built for today’s reality. Students are overwhelmed. People are burned out. And traditional approaches aren’t closing the gap.
Through engaging assemblies, hands-on workshops, and ongoing coaching support, I teach practical strategies that help individuals regulate their emotions, respond instead of react, and perform more consistently both academically and professionally.
For teens, this means:
Improved emotional control and behavior
Increased confidence and resilience
Better focus and engagement in the classroom
For adults, this means:
Tools to manage stress and avoid burnout
Strategies to support dysregulated students
A shared language and approach to emotional regulation
All services are grounded in real experience, trauma-informed practices, and a structured system that turns awareness into action.
This isn’t just about feeling better. It’s about functioning better in the moments that matter most.
About Me
After being diagnosed with PTSD, David went on his own healing journey thanks in large part due to a core group of people who supported him along the way. On the other side of this journey he founded Grow2GetherCoaching.
Prior to becoming an ICF Certified Coach, David was a High School Baseball Coach, Teacher, Instructional Coach, and Administrator for 16 years. In 2012, his team won the Maryland 2A State Championship and was featured in the Sports Illustrated Article, “Mourning Glory” by Chris Ballard", for the tragedy and adversity they had overcome. As a baseball coach he was named the 2012 Maryland State Coach of the Year and the 2012 ABCA Regional Coach of the Year along with many other local awards and recognitions.
David is the host of the Podcast Beyond the Darkness: Living with PTSD, where he shares his own personal Mental Health journey, interviews experts in the Mental Health Field, and creates a space for others to share their own stories of hope and healing. His podcast has been described as “raw, real, and honest” as it sheds light on the realities that individuals with Mental Health challenges face, while providing guidance and hope for people to go “Beyond the Darkness”.
David has presented at over 50 conferences all throughout the United States. Topics have included, but are not limited to, Supporting the Unique Mental Health Needs of Gifted Individuals, Understanding Trauma in the Classroom, and Processes for Supporting Teachers in an Era of Burnout.
