The connection you crave requires the feelings you avoid
You've mastered the art of feeling nothing. But it's costing you everything: your marriage, your kids, and yourself. With steady presence and zero judgment, I'll help you develop the emotional intelligence your relationships desperately need.
I specialize in supporting emotionally disconnected partners learn to feel, connect, and show up before it's too late.
My approach
I'm really good at helping people name what's actually happening underneath the surface. I help you slow down and feel emotions in real time, understand your nervous system responses, take ownership without drowning in shame, develop emotional vocabulary and awareness, and show up differently in your relationships.
I don't try to be someone I'm not. I show up as a real human with calm presence, curiosity, and care. When people feel safe enough to be real, they finally start to heal.
My approach is direct but never harsh. I'll call you on your patterns while holding space for why they exist. We'll work with your defenses, not against them, slowly building your capacity to stay present when everything in you wants to check out. This isn't about becoming someone new because we’ll be accessing parts of you that have been offline for years.
Who I work with best
I work especially well with men who've learned to intellectualize instead of feel, partners who've been told they're "too sensitive" or "too much," anyone whose emotional shutdown is destroying their relationships, men ready to model something different for their kids, and couples where one partner has checked out emotionally.
If you're recognizing that your patterns are hurting the people you love, and you're ready to change that, we should talk.
What guides my work
What makes me amazing at this work isn't just the training or credentials but it's how I see people. I can sit with someone in their shame, fear, or confusion without rushing to fix it or pull away. I've lived enough life and done enough of my own healing to hold that space with steadiness and compassion.
After earning my MSW and LMSW, I've learned that the degrees matter less than the presence. What really guides my work is knowing that emotional shutdown is a survival strategy that worked once but doesn't anymore. Understanding that men need space to feel without being fixed or shamed. Believing that vulnerability is the highest form of courage. And the truth that when one person in a system wakes up emotionally, everything can shift.
A few things I believe
Emotional maturity isn't about perfection, it's about awareness and repair. You can't change what you won't acknowledge. Vulnerability is strength, not weakness. Every man needs to learn to feel before he can truly connect. Your partner isn't asking for perfection, they're asking for presence.
Ready to stop running from yourself and start showing up for your life?
I offer individual coaching for emotional awareness and presence, couples sessions to repair disconnection and build intimacy, and specialized support for men ready to feel again. Wherever you are in your journey, we'll start there.
