Great to meet you! I believe the key to living a happy life, is learning how to speak your truth with grace & live a courageous life of authenticity. This requires checking in with yourself, often, exploring old patterns that aren’t serving you, tapping into grit & resiliency, and having a growth-oriented mindset. I'm an avid adventurer, having traveled to 25+ countries. I'm a licensed tailwheel (multiengine & seaplane) pilot who loves radial engines and vintage aircraft. In my spare time, you’ll find me flying, gardening & reading and chasing a house full of boys.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I help people create turbulence free relationships, which means working on your primal wounds to create better relationships where you are able to communicate your needs, set boundaries and be seen, heard and validated. We'll dive right into your headlines and backstories, and set some goals for our time together. I'll also craft some prescriptions/resources for you to continue your work in between our sessions (usually books, podcasts, etc).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I work primarily with couples (not individual men), helping them break unhealthy patterns, rediscover intimacy, and improve communication. With specialized training in toxic relationships and narcissistic personality disorder—and advanced studies in sex therapy—I take a direct, yet lighthearted approach to making real progress in our limited time together.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Couples (no individual men at this time). Due to being licensed in 3 states, I currently only offer telehealth. Our sessions are collaborative, I help you move through discomfort quickly and SOAR. If you are in a space of needing a lot of hand holding, I'm probably not the best fit. The best results come from being self driven to work on things outside of our session time. I work with clients back to back and appreciate some flexibility surrounding that.
