Work With Me
After 13 years as a creative writer, touring performance poet, author and multidisciplinary artist, I am now offering coaching and consulting sessions on a limited basis. I call these meetings Coffee Dates.
A Word From Levi
I’ve come to realize that — as my friend Scott says — “my vulnerabilities are my super-power,” and the more I do this work, the more I recognize that scary-but-healing path as universal.
I write to make sense of my experience of life — to discover what it is that I actually think of the world — and once I figure that out, I share it with others in hopes that I might help them do the same.
The beloved poet Rainer Marie Rilke said that “at bottom, and just in the deepest and most important things, we are unutterably alone…”
But he did say “we,” so would you look at that — we’re still in it together!
I’m glad folks enjoy my writing — my art and my music and my poetry — but if I’m honest? I think what folks most enjoy is seeing themselves in the stories I’ve tried to tell.
After all… stories are the great blankets beneath which we all seek meaning and warmth.
Throughout the years, I’ve loved getting to share that warmth with others — to tell stories about what it is like to be me, and listen to stories about what it is like to be you, and bridge the gaps between us.
I can’t offer you a prayer rug that’ll solve your every problem — I’m not a guru or a sage or a savior — but I have lived a lot of life (and death) during my time on this planet. If I can help you do the same…?
I’d love to. Click here to shoot me an email.

What can you expect?
It’s helpful to have an idea of what your experience will be like. My Coffee Dates package include three sessions over the course of three months. The first is 90 minutes, and second and third are 60 minutes. We’ll tailor-make each session to fit exactly what you need, but until then, here’s an overhead view of the path:
1. Apply for coaching with me.
Fill out this form to let me know how I can help. We’ll get acquainted when we meet, but this will give us a head-start so that we can make the most of our time, and make sure each meeting ends with you feeling clear and equipped for the next step.
2. Book a start-date.
After reviewing your info, I’ll reach out to lock our first session down on the calendar, and book our follow-ups from there.
3. Work toward your goals.
Following each session, I’ll send a summary about important aspects of our conversation, as well as written guidance and check-ins each month. These will likely include actionables for you, which I’ll design based upon your goals.
4. Message me and get help when you need it.
Get stuck? Hit a snag along the way? You’ll have access to me via private communication channels during the course of time together.
Following our time together, I offer a fourth call — for free — to check in and determine whether we’ve hit our goals, and if you’d like to continue meeting. (Re-ups are offered to “alumni” at a discounted rate.)
