Please Note
My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
- Midlife — my own crossing taught me the difference between a breakdown and a threshold — and how to tell which one you're actually in.
- Burnout — lived, not studied — including the discovery that the problem was never my capacity; it was measuring my worth by what I produced.
- ADHD, late-recognized — including the exhaustion of masking for years before understanding why everything felt harder than it should.
- Career reinvention — I know what it takes to leave a stable identity in midlife and build something truer.
- Masculinity — not the prescriptive kind: I've done my own work of setting down the scripts about what a man should be, and discovering what's actually mine — and I hold that same open ground for the men I work with.
- Fatherhood — I'm a father of two boys, and I know how it remakes your identity, your marriage, and your relationship with your own father.
- Growing up with an alcoholic father — I know the attachment wounding it leaves firsthand: the hypervigilance, the over-functioning, learning to read a room before you could read a book.
- Long-term marriage — the real work of staying: renegotiating who you are inside a partnership as you both change.
- Losing parents — I've lost my father and my mother-in-law, and I know grief as terrain, not theory.
- Money and wealth — the relationship itself: money trauma carried into adulthood, and what it takes to move toward a freer relationship with wealth.
- Sexuality, kink, and power dynamics — explored consciously, without shame or pathologizing.
- Kundalini and life force — the energetic and spiritual dimension of vitality: territory I've explored deeply in my own practice and hold within the grounded frame of clinical counselling.
- Contemplative practice — meditation not as a technique I teach but a path I've walked for decades.
- Intuitive perception — I work with more than what's said out loud: a trained, grounded attunement to what's moving underneath — in your body, your energy, and the parts of you that haven't found words yet.

My clients often self-identify as…
- Men in midlife — often successful on paper, quietly disconnected underneath.
- High-achievers, providers, and professionals exhausted from holding everything together.
- Entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners who hit their goals and still feel empty.
- Late-diagnosed or self-suspecting ADHDers unpacking a lifetime of masking.
- Highly sensitive people (HSPs), deep feelers, and overthinkers who learned early to hide it.
- Adult children of alcoholics and others who grew up reading the room to stay safe.
- Dads and husbands who feel like they're performing a role instead of living a life.
- Men rethinking masculinity — done with the scripts, not interested in prescriptions, wanting to find their own way of being a man.
- Men navigating long marriages, grief, or a complicated relationship with money.
- People-pleasers and perfectionists running on obligation instead of desire.
- Burned-out helpers — therapists, healers, teachers, and caregivers who give everyone else what they can't give themselves.
- Seekers and spiritually curious people — drawn to meditation, energy work, or a sense of higher purpose — who want that dimension taken seriously, not treated as a side topic.
- People who've done therapy before and are looking for something that actually reaches them.
I’m the right therapist for you if…
- You've built the life you were supposed to want and it feels like a performance — and you're ready to find out what's actually yours underneath the anxiety and stress of holding it together.
- You're burned out, your motivation and energy gone quiet — and some part of you knows there's real vitality under the exhaustion.
- You're tired of analyzing yourself from the neck up — you want to actually feel something shift: the anger, the grief, the stuckness, in your body and not just your understanding.
- You learned early to read the room, please people, and stay ahead of everyone's needs — and you're done living on high alert.
- You're wondering whether ADHD is a passing fad or if it explains more of your life than anyone told you — and you're ready for that understanding to change how you live, not just how you label yourself.
- You're questioning what being a man actually means for you — tired of both the tough-guy scripts and the endless critiques, and wanting to discover it on your own terms.
- Past therapy didn't reach the depression or the disconnection — you're not done; you're looking for something deeper.
- You sense something deeper trying to move through your life — a pull toward purpose, meaning, or the spiritual dimension — and you want a therapist who can actually go there with you.
- You want therapy that feels less like a clinical exchange and more like walking with a trusted guide — clinically grounded, but warm, direct, and personally invested in the life you're building.

If we work together you can expect to feel...
- Met. Actually met — not managed, not analyzed, not handled with therapist-voice. My style is warm but direct, and sometimes irreverent; we'll laugh in there too. Over time, most people describe feeling more at home in their own body, less run by the performance, and clearer about what's actually theirs versus what they inherited or absorbed. Many also describe something harder to name: a reconnection with aliveness itself — life force, spirit, the sense of being part of something larger — returning after years of running on empty. It can be uncomfortable in the honest moments, and it's the good kind of uncomfortable: the kind that means something real is moving.

During your free consultation, we'll go over...
- What's bringing you in — in whatever shape it's currently in, including "I honestly don't know, something's just off".
- How I actually work — body-first, honest, with room for the deeper dimensions — so you can feel whether it fits, and you can ask me anything.
- Whether we're the right fit, sensed by both of us — no intake interrogation, no pressure to commit.
- And if we're not the fit, I'll point you toward someone who is.
If we work together you can expect me to…
- Show up fully — present, honest, and personally invested in the life you're building, not just your symptoms.
- Work with your body and nervous system, not just your thoughts — so change is something you feel, not just understand.
- Help you get to know the parts of you that have been running the show — the pleaser, the performer, the one on high alert — and what they've been protecting.
- Take your spiritual life seriously — higher purpose, meaning, the sense that something deeper is trying to move through you — as a real dimension of the work, not a side topic.
- Trust what emerges beyond words — the intuitions, images, and felt-senses that often know the way before the mind does.
- Hold steady when it gets uncomfortable — I'm not afraid of your anger, your grief, or your truth.
- Help you reconnect with your motivation, your vitality, and a sense of purpose that's actually yours.
- Walk beside you for the long arc — this is about coming home to yourself, not patching symptoms.
- Tell you the truth, kindly — including the things other people in your life won't say.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage.
We always recommend you check with your insurance provider to confirm what coverage you have.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
