For couples in coaching, I offer a neutral, active, empathetic third party who can observe and identify your dynamics and quickly help you make progress in your connection (building or rebuilding).
Being a person is hard af. That's the first thing to acknowledge when you consider reaching out for support; I promise you: everyone is struggling in some way or another, despite what their social media might suggest.
Sorting through your shit and figuring out what to toss and what to keep is a journey, and you may need different things at different times.
If you're at point where what you need is less "and how does that make you feel" and more "wow that sucks have you tried this other thing" - I might just be the right fit for you. I like people who want to really dig in and see what's underneath the layers you may be avoiding.

To be human is to struggle. Although pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is an admirable and common mindset in our society, this philosophy leaves little room for people to be real and confront their struggles in an authentic way, which leads in time to things like discouragement, burnout, and emotional difficulty. So, instead, I invite you to show up just as you are! You can trust that you’ll be met with safety and compassion as we walk together through whatever you’re facing.
I enjoy working with adults and adolescents concerning anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, men’s issues, and parenting.

Putting your trust in a therapist is an especially vulnerable decision. You may assume that therapy will involve figuring out what is wrong with you and fixing it. I honor and respect the difficulty of your decision, and in return for your trust, I will neither judge nor lecture. Instead, I will listen closely to you-I will work to attune myself to you, so that you feel heard and understood. What I hear, moreover, is often different from what other people tell you they hear from you and indeed from what you tell yourself. Recognizing that difference is often key to beginning a process of healing and change.

Life is hard enough without having to go through it alone. No matter who you are or where you are from, my greatest wish for you at the outset is for you to recognize that we all have complications — we could all benefit from growth and healing. As we embrace these realities, we also learn to embrace all of the parts of ourselves, including those that most need our attention and affection. Make no mistake, the path to growth can be difficult. It involves equal parts frustration and exploration, and even a good dose of humor! But when we face ourselves, we may also find that the outcome is beautiful, rewarding, and even enchanting.
