My Story

I’m a father and Personal Growth & Fatherhood Coach, currently completing my training in Marriage and Family Therapy, who understands how heavy the responsibility of fatherhood can feel. Becoming a parent doesn’t just change your schedule — it challenges your identity, your nervous system, and your relationships.

​

Before stepping into the world of therapy and coaching, my life moved through very different arenas. I competed as a high-level volleyball player, built a career as a personal trainer,  became a commercial real estate, all while actively growing as a musician and band member. From an early age I was drawn to experiences that demand presence and humility — including scuba and freediving — where awareness, breath, and regulation aren’t optional.

​​

Each chapter taught me something important: how pressure shapes behavior, how performance can mask disconnection, how identity can become rigid, and how quickly things fall apart when we’re operating on autopilot.

​

My psychotherapy  work integrates trauma-informed, attachment-based, and nervous-system-aware approaches to help fathers slow down, build awareness, and show up more intentionally at home. I don’t believe in quick fixes or performative change. I believe in presence, accountability, and learning to lead yourself before trying to lead your family.

​

I work with men who care deeply about being good partners and fathers — and who may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, reactive, or unsure how to break patterns they never consciously chose. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, relational clarity, and a grounded sense of identity that carries into real life.

​

Fatherhood doesn’t require perfection. It requires awareness, repair, and the willingness to keep showing up — one step at a time.

​

Outside of my work, I’m a husband, a dad, a musician, and someone who values depth, movement, and time in the water. I believe growth happens not through force, but through attention — and that the way we show up at home shapes generations.
