My Story & Approach

“If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people." —Thich Nhat Hanh, A Lifetime of Peace  

 

Like many Millennials, my parents were focused on achievement, financial freedom, and compliance. These instilled an iron-clad work ethic and a drive for career success but deprioritized other crucial life skills like forming secure attachment, self actualization, and connection with deeper meaning. For the last 15 years, I have 'delivered results' in my corporate job rising to an executive role in a multibillion dollar company while in my twenties -- but I felt an emptiness and loneliness that I've discovered is universal.

 

This past decade has brought new learnings in the form of marriage and three incredible children. Rising to the top of the corporate ladder feels hollow for many of us when our deeper emotional needs and connections aren't thriving. This has been my lived experience. As a partner to a neurodivergent wife and a parent to an autistic child, I have had to profoundly transform how I feel the world. Fatherhood has been a portal for profound transformation that has led to exponential growth both professionally and interpersonally. I support individuals through the complexities of wanting to show up wholly and successfully both in business and in relationship to others.

​

My general approach is inspired by Attachment Theory, Evolutionary Psychology, Polyvagal Theory, Hillary Jacobs Hendel's "Change Triangle," Gender, Respectful Parenting, and my lived experience as an executive, partner, and father.

​

Every individual's goals vary but my approach always includes:

Understanding 

Validating 

Challenging 

Advising

Reminding
