About Me

You’re considering therapy, but by any reasonable measure, things are manageable. Most of the people I work with aren’t in crisis. They’re capable, used to handling problems on their own, and stuck in a way that no amount of effort seems to shift. I spent two decades building companies only to find out that success and happiness are two different things. The closer people get to the “perfect” life, the more of them end up burned out or quietly dissatisfied by the pursuit.

Men in particular put their own needs last, and asking for help can feel like weakness rather than an ordinary thing to do. You don’t have to choose between the life you’ve built and the things you need; you just haven’t been shown how to have both. When working with couples, it’s important to understand that I’m a neutral party; I represent the relationship, and not any person in particular. This means helping each of you show up for yourself and for each other. I have personal experience with open and polyamorous relationships, so you won’t spend your first session explaining how you love.

What You Can Expect

When you work with me, I’ll listen closely; I want to understand what’s weighing on you before we start doing anything about it. You’ll also get direct questions, including the ones you’ve been avoiding. Together we’ll look at the patterns and beliefs keeping you stuck, and get curious about what they’ve been protecting. My aim is for you to leave with a working internal compass, so you can tell for yourself when you’re heading the right way.
