About Matthew
Matt spends every day helping his audiences and clients to live their ideal lives, a passion that began from conquering his own challenges.
Since he was young, Matt was passionate about understanding how to build a meaningful life. As he worked through challenges with anxiety and ADHD as a child, his parents’ divorce as a teen, and panic attacks as an adult, he continued to grow and seek out tools to heal. Matt became a therapist to help others do the same.
After building a thriving therapy practice and coaching business, he discovered that so many leaders and high performers like himself are overwhelmed and suffering, and they need better tools for achieving their goals, reducing their stress, dealing with loss and change. Matt’s own struggles with ADHD and Anxiety as an entrepreneur and father fueled his passion to find breakthrough solutions to help himself and his clients heal, grow, and transform their lives in deeper, more lasting ways. This is where he developed the Flow system, to help his clients understand the negative patterns holding them back from achieving their goals.
Matt is a sought-after speaker, psychotherapist, coach, and trainer, having worked with fortune 500 companies, national organizations, small businesses, and schools. His expertise is in simplifying complex personal growth topics to create simple frameworks and actionable steps that lead to tangible change for his clients and audience. His own life is modeled on his principles, enabling him to impact leaders while raising his family and adventuring around the world.
Here’s the problem: as an entrepreneur, leader, or high performer, you were taught you need to grind, force, and struggle to achieve success.
As you’ve likely discovered, this works short term, but over time creates stress, anxiety, and even trauma. This can manifest as a loss of passion and drive, procrastination, lack of direction, and ultimately burnout. If you’re like me, you read all the personal growth & business books and followed all the popular strategies: things may look good on the outside, but inside you feel trapped, confused, and overwhelmed trying to build the life you’ve imagined.
When I finally hit my breaking point in my own struggles as an entrepreneur, using my expertise as a therapist and peak performance coach, I discovered Flow, and built a framework for achieving our goals while leaving behind stress and suffering. Join me in building a life based on the principles of Flow so we can feel our best and perform our best with less pain and more joy. Flow allows us to unlock our full potential, create sustainable success, build a fulfilling and meaningful life, and truly impact the world.
I teach my Flow framework while speaking to businesses, associations, and at conferences to help audiences grow and transform.
