I've been a social worker, a teacher, and a carpenter, amongst others things, across three continents. What I've learned is this: whether you're building a house or a relationship or a future, things don't always go as planned. And when they don't it is always good to have a helping hand.
Being human is messy and complicated. The way men struggle to define themselves when old scripts no longer fit. How new parents discover their relationship and identities changed. The spiritual hunger that shows up in unexpected places, like career crises or trying to find meaning in a changing world.
My approach isn't about fixing you - you're not broken. Instead, I will immerse myself in your world, and together, we'll find a path forward for you.
We'll dig into what's actually happening in your life right now. What patterns keep showing up? What do you keep building that doesn't serve you? What would it look like to construct something different?
I've lived enough life to know that the meaningful stuff happens in the spaces between what we planned and what actually shows up in life.
If you are having difficulties with a relationship important to you, are someone questioning your career or struggling to find meaning; or you're a man trying to figure out what masculinity means in 2025, let's talk.
