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 20+ 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 mostly work with couples, note I do NOT work with individual men. I offer couples an opportunity to identify cruddy patterns we can engage in, rediscover intimacy, and improve communication. I have specific training in toxic relationships and narcissistic personality disorder, & am in doctorate studies as a sex therapist. We have limited time together, so my style is very directive (but also lighthearted).

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Couples (no individual men at this time). Our sessions are collaborative, I help you move through discomfort quickly and SOAR. If you are in a space of needing more hand holding, I'm probably not the best fit. I work with clients back to back and appreciate some flexibility surrounding that. Please ensure you schedule your session at the top of the hour, any sessions scheduled on the half hour will be rescheduled.
