Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
"I am an advocate for the relationship, not the individuals."
When couples work with me, they aren't hiring a 'yes-man' or a referee to settle scores. They are hiring an advocate for the third entity in the room: the relationship itself. Because I am not a 'partner advocate,' I am free to provide the kind of direct, unfiltered feedback that’s often missing in traditional therapy.
Think of me as a coach to elite athletes.
My success is measured by your success. If you are here, it’s because you want to achieve greatness in your personal life, your career, or your bedroom. I provide real-time feedback—the occasional 'karate-chop-to-the-throat' moment—to help you correct course immediately. We won’t spend months 'exploring' without action; we will identify the friction, employ new strategies, and optimize your life for fulfillment.
Who I work with best:
I specialize in working with 'high-octane' individuals—executives, creatives, and performers—who are tired of 'coloring within the lines' and are ready to do the hard, direct work required to break through shame and anxiety. If you want a passive listener, I’m not your guy. If you want a partner in high-performance change, let's get to work.
