Relational Therapy
If you’re a high-performer then you’ve likely come to notice that the very attributes that got you to where you are today at work - obsession with performance, invulnerability, hyper-independence, hyper-competition, pleasing - are tanking your personal relationships. Whether it’s with your spouse, your co-founder, your kids, or your friends - the same patterns are likely showing up and leaving you (+ those around you) feeling disconnected and alone. I know because I’ve been there.
I spent a decade founding and running boutique ad agencies and was the relationship guy: managing director, head of accounts, doing exceptionally well by every outside measure. I was great at pleasing the right people and applying pressure to get things done. Yet personally I was tired, disconnected, and my personal relationships were a neglected mess. Then I found therapy, entirely transformed my life, turned down partnership, went back to school, and have since built an integrated life around what I love.
Today I’m a relationship therapist for men who are successful on paper but know that their relationships are in trouble, including their relationship to themselves. I’m a couples therapist for those who have yet to find therapy that actually works, doesn’t go in circles, and can cut through the BS. And I work with co-founder conflict, for those who have come to realize that they are in their second marriage, where all the same sh*t applies. I practice in-person and virtually in both Brooklyn, NYC, and Los Angeles, California.
I chose my training and teachers strategically - Terry Real’s RLT for its directness, Gottman for the research and practicality, CBT for the same, Stan Tatkin’s PACT for nervous system regulation, Esther Perel for desire fluency, Dick Schwartz’s IFS for operationalizing self-compassion, EMDR for acute traumas, NLP for language magic, and Evryman for men’s group facilitation as this was my origin story.
If you’re tired of repeating the same relationship dynamics and are ready to make real changes - let’s go.
