My Passion For Helping Men Comes From Watching Great Men Fall 

…as we were saying, she is the one, and you are here, refusing to give up. It doesn’t mean the thought of giving up hasn’t crossed your mind, at the same time, you love the woman in your life too much to do so. The two of you have been through a lot and if you were going to give up or be with someone else, you would have done it a long time ago. You know in your heart she is the one for you and are tirelessly searching for how to achieve the relationship you have always imagined. You ARE NOT CRAZY. To be honest, this is a common experience for many men, the difference is going to be in what step you take next.

How I Work: Gottman Method & Relational Life Therapy

I don't believe in sitting across from you and nodding for 50 minutes. Most men who come to me want straight talk and real tools, and that's how I work. I draw mainly on two proven approaches to relationships, whether you come in on your own or together with your partner.

Relational Life Therapy (RLT) was developed by Terry Real, and it's one of the most direct approaches out there. RLT helps you recognize the "losing strategies" that quietly damage a relationship: needing to be right, controlling, withdrawing, blowing up, or getting even. Then we replace them with ways of speaking up for what you need while staying connected to her. RLT also looks at the patterns we inherited from our families, so you can keep what served you and let go of what didn't.

The Gottman Method is based on decades of research by Dr. John and Dr. Julie Gottman into what separates couples who last from couples who don't. We'll look at the patterns that predict trouble, like criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and shutting down. You'll learn practical skills to replace them: how to start hard conversations without them turning into fights, how to calm yourself down when you're flooded, and how to repair after an argument instead of letting it pile up.

Together, these give you both the why behind what keeps happening and the how to change it.

Common Relationship Issues I Help With

• The same argument on repeat. Different topic, same fight, same ending.

• Feeling like roommates. The connection, affection, or intimacy has faded, and neither of you knows how to get it back.

• Shutting down or blowing up. You go quiet, walk away, or say things you regret when conflict gets heated.

• Feeling like it's never enough. No matter what you do, it seems to fall short, and resentment builds on both sides.

• Rebuilding trust. After an affair, an emotional affair, or secrets kept through your phone or online.

• Distractions pulling you away. Work, screens, pornography, or substances getting between you and her. (Link to your Addiction page here.)

• Big transitions. Getting engaged, preparing for marriage, becoming parents, or adjusting when kids change everything.

• Family and outside pressure. In-laws, finances, and old family patterns showing up in your marriage.

If you saw yourself in any of these, you're in the right place. Reach out for a free phone consultation, and we'll talk about what's going on and whether we're a good fit.

Is Your Parents’ Marriage One You Would Want?

Growing up I saw many great men lose the relationships and families they always dreamed of having. Some of these men grew up without fathers, others grew up with fathers who didn’t know how to control their frustration, anger, or tempers. Just like the men from above, what we don’t learn from our fathers, we have to discover independently while refraining from using the maladaptive tools they handed us.

The stresses of finances, addictive behaviors, being distracted by other women via technology or in person, and feeling out of touch with our spouse’s dreams and goals can be devastating to a man and ultimately their romantic relationship. No man goes into a relationship with the intent to screw it up and view the woman of his dreams as the enemy.

With that being said, understanding what proactive steps will be needed in order to lead to a meaningful and peaceful relationship and understand how to maintain it is the objective. I have seen couples crumble from not understanding how to look and react to married life in a different way. Because of this, I have decided it is where I want to spend my time and efforts. Helping men navigate and improve their relationships so he is elevating what was once his motivation and reason to conquer the world.

Don’t make the same mistake many other men do as they sit and wait for the vacation or day to come when everything “magically changes”. Let’s figure out what changes you can make today to support and be supported by the woman in your life.
