Practical strategic consulting with a PhD specialist in dealing with power imbalances, adult bullies, and narcissists with a focus on restoring power balances with partners, children, parents, bosses, and co-workers. My offering is an alternative to both bottomless psychotherapy and pep-talk life coaching. I’m pragmatic, efficient, short-term, and not formulaic. We explore the pros and cons of a broad range of moves for regaining lost ground tailored to your particulars. Based on decades of practical and scientific research. I’ve authored 1k+ blog articles for Psych Today, and have over 1m views on my YT channel, "Trying Beings."
I'm a decision science PhD, and author of the book, "What's Up With A-holes?: How to spot and stop them without becoming one." Conventional therapeutic wisdom argues that there's no talking to narcissists, or that if you show them respect they'll reciprocate. They're right – sometimes. Sometimes you have to get assertive with them. I help people learn how.
If you're at your limit – can't just walk away and can't put up with them taking a mile every time you give an inch, get in touch. We'll assess your situation and find the most effective next moves to try, a mix of accommodating, asserting and withdrawing. If you've been exploring conventional sources, there are bold ethical options you may have overlooked.

I work with clients who are struggling to get out from under the thumb of someone toxic. I listen patiently and closely, especially for a client's ambivalences which I translate into strategic tradeoffs and practical options. Getting practical, clients typically feel immediate relief and more as they implement strategies that pay off, and gain insights for avoiding and dealing with future jerks.

I use the approach that, of the great many I tried, worked best for me: Acceptance of the ironies of the human condition and getting practical about expectation management. I offer psychology-based life coaching grounded in decades of research and writing on how to cultivate "calmfidence" and eliminate irrelevant sources of doubt, anxiety, and shame.
