Therapy is a talk-based approach, allowing the client to stay fully in their intelligence often times leaving the nervous system at the door. Most men if they are honest with themselves will tell you what their blocks are, but find it difficult to sit with and process the behavioral patterns that live in their nervous system and body. My focus is to ground each man in their experience, to help them feel into and move through what is blocking them from connecting deeply to their lives.

Each session can look different, but is grounded in the same foundational practices. We will ground into the room, often through breathwork and meditation before we connect with what is present for you in the moment.

Most clients meet virtually, but for those local to the Austin, Texas area, we can meet in person, on walks, or even on paddle boards in what I lovingly refer to as “Board meetings”.

Firstly I am a man with a fully lived experience. I’ve struggled with substances, conditional love, relationships, adultery, family estrangement, sexual abuse, and more. I bring those experiences, and the tools I learned to move through them into each experience.

My work is primarily based in somatic experiencing, which is a fancy way of saying I work with the body and the nervous system to help a client resource what is available within them, often just lying dormant under false narratives.

Absolutely. Full stop. My priority with clients is safety above all else. Emotional safety cannot exist without physical safety, and without either we are unable to trust the process and connect with the deeper parts of ourselves that need to express themselves to be fully realized and integrated.

I work with men who are stuck in their lives and have come to the realization that they want more but don’t know how to get it. The stories that bring men to this work are varied, but the underlying disconnection is often the same, regardless of age, status, sexual preference, or any other identifying traits.

Most men report feeling better immediately after the first session. What takes longer is integrating the work into real practice in their daily lives. Most men work with me between 4-6 months at a time, many coming back to retreats annually from there.

I will always find a cadence that best meets the clients needs, but most often that looks like 2 90-minute sessions a month. Some clients prefer to work on a weekly cadence, and depending on availability I can often meet clients there as well.

An open mind, curious heart, and a willingness to step outside of the current patterns that are holding you back.

We can’t build from a toolset that wasn’t passed down to us, and the fact that you are curious enough to be asking that question is a huge step in the right direction.

Our kids just want safety and connection, and when are not feeling safe or connected ourselves, kids can intuitively feel that.

Connecting to your own innate gifts and abilities to regulate and work through the limits that are holding you back will naturally create space.

For so many of us we lack a model for what a healthy relationship looks like, let alone how to express ourselves safely, in a way that creates space for others to lean in and connect deeply.

Somatic’s has been around for thousands of years, pulling from the Greek word “Soma” meaning “Body”.

Somatic coaching is a return to our natural processes, those that evolution has favored within us. Unlike talk therapy, a somatic session sometimes doesn’t require explanation or story, and instead tracks your physical experience to help open up new pathways and opportunities in your life.

I work with clients from all over the work virtually, but for those who live in or near Austin, Texas we have the opportunity to meet in-person and out in nature as well.
