Growing up, I was endlessly curious. I loved self-help books and psychology in particular because I was fascinated by understanding why people did what they did and what made things work beneath the surface. But one subject always eluded me: emotions.

Like many men, I grew up believing that emotions were distractions, that staying calm meant staying strong, and that vulnerability was something to avoid. So as I went through life, I stopped paying attention to my own experiences, focusing instead on what I thought I should feel or should do. Over time, that led to more and more disconnection from myself and from the people I cared about.

Eventually, that approach stopped working. I found myself frustrated, confused, and depressed, unable to explain what I was feeling or why. Through my own therapy and personal work, I learned that emotions aren’t the enemy, but they’re data. They tell us what matters, what’s missing, and where we need to pay attention.

Now, I help men and couples do the same. My clients find me in the midst of all sorts of situations—fighting in their marriage, overwhelmed by work, feeling angry and disconnected, or unsure why they can’t seem to feel satisfied even when life looks “good” on paper. Underneath all of it is usually the same struggle: not knowing how to make sense of what they feel or how to share it without it turning into conflict, silence, or shame.

My work focuses on helping clients translate emotional chaos into clarity so they can connect more deeply, communicate more honestly, and live in a way that feels grounded and alive.

Most people don’t come to therapy because they’re broken but rather to understand themselves in a new way. My role is to help you make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface and turn that insight into real growth and connection.
