About My Clients

Do you feel stuck in patterns you never consciously chose? Conversations escalate too quickly or shut down completely. Intimacy feels distant or replaced by habits that offer temporary relief but deepen disconnection over time. You may find yourself asking: How did we get here and how do we change this? If this feels familiar, you’re not alone, and more importantly, change is possible. I work with men and couples who want to move beyond repeating cycles and embody self-leadership.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, university faculty, and researcher focused on relationships, masculinity, and trauma. My approach is grounded in systems thinking and mindful awareness, helping you understand and shift patterns within yourself and your relationships. I work with men and couples to build affective health and true intimacy—the capacity to stay open, grounded, and connected, even in challenging moments.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Many men live in a straight jacket of unhelpful believes about masculinity. We continuously try to prove something, leading to much distress, mainly when things don't work out. Let's face it; emotional stoicism and competitiveness do not result in fulfilling relationships. It's inspiring to me when men rethink what it means to be a partner, husband, or father. There is so much potential for creating more fulfilling relationships, thriving communities, and a better world.
