Are you feeling stuck or out of alignment, like your life looks fine on the outside but doesn’t feel right on the inside? Maybe past therapy hasn’t helped, or you are overwhelmed by anxiety, low motivation, relationship struggles or career questions. You might be dealing with ADHD, substance use, relationship struggles or just a nagging sense that you have lost direction. You don’t want a passive listener. You need someone who gets it and knows how to help. Most of my clients are navigating complex personal and professional lives, often feeling isolated or disconnected in the process.
I bring deep clinical experience and decades of real-world business/entrepreneurial insight to therapy. I will support you with emotional and relational challenges, and career issues. I work with adults and have particular expertise with men and LGBTQ+ clients. I also serve as a consultant to major corporations, improving business through human capital.
My approach is active, honest, challenging and collaborative. I call “get out of your own way” therapy. We will identify what’s holding you back and develop practical strategies for change. I serve clients in Chicago and Michigan. If therapy has felt unhelpful before, I get it. But it can be different. If you're ready for something real, let’s talk.
