Men’s Relationship Coach for senior leaders living in chronic activation.

I work with the guy who's crushing it at work but feels like a failure at home—the one who can stay calm during a high-stakes negotiation but snaps when his kid interrupts him for the third time, whose mind goes blank when his wife is upset, who can't turn off "work mode" even after he gets home.

BACKGROUND

Master's degree in Social Work, University of Tennessee

Training in Relational Life Therapy and somatic trauma renegotiation

Former therapist and personal trainer

Co-founder of Relational Somatics

Host of the Growth Over Easy podcast

Advisory board member, Survivors for Change

WHO I WORK WITH

I work with senior leaders and executives who:

Have learned to compartmentalize their feelings and push through—but don't realize their nervous system is in chronic activation

Hear "it feels like you don't even care" when they're trying as hard as they can

Hear "you're never really here" and have no idea how to fix it

Handle crisis situations at work without breaking a sweat—but snap at home over things they know don't matter

Have tried couples therapy and "just communicate better"—but nothing's actually changed

WHAT I DO

I help men go from chronic activation to calm and connected. Not by forcing them to "talk about their feelings," but by building nervous system capacity so they can stay present under pressure.

Through somatic nervous system regulation, the Blueprint Awareness Method, and body-based tools, I don't just talk about patterns—I help rewire them.

My clients learn to:

Stay present when their instinct is to shut down or blow up

Understand what their nervous system is protecting them from

Build the capacity for connection without running on survival mode 24/7

This isn't therapy. It's nervous system training for leaders.

CORE APPROACH

Somatic (body-based) nervous system regulation

Real-time tools for shutdown and explosion patterns

Blueprint Awareness Method

Treating root causes, not symptoms

Accountability and real-world application

Building capacity for presence without losing yourself

PHILOSOPHY

We're pack animals wired for connection—but chronic activation scrambles that wiring.

The good news? That's trainable.
