Welcome. I’m a coach, therapist, and former technology executive. I help leaders and professionals cultivate greater achievement, stronger relationships, and inner peace. Yes, you can have all of this. Together we’ll deepen your self-awareness and establish more alignment between your intentions, choices and follow through.
My integrative approach blends Internal Family Systems, Nonviolent Communication, Mindfulness, and various other theories related to behavior change. I also bring to the work my lived experience as an investment banker and technology executive — management in larger organizations as well as a founder/builder.
Finally, as a man, I’m passionate about men’s issues and helping men become better allies to themselves and others. The name of my practice, MEN+ALLY — pronounced mentally — represents this passion and commitment.
If you would like to explore how I might be able to support you, please call or email to schedule a free consultation.
MEN+ALLY Coaching is distinct from my psychotherapy practice in that it focuses on skill-building, performance, and practical strategies, rather than deeper emotional work. Coaching is not a substitute mental health treatment.
Areas of Practice
Leadership & Emotional Awareness
Strengthen your ability to lead with clarity while developing greater emotional intelligence and relational awareness. Drawing on approaches such as Nonviolent Communication, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems, we’ll focus on communication, presence, and the ability to respond skillfully under pressure — qualities that inspire trust and foster stronger teams and connections.
Performance & Focus
Enhance productivity and unlock access to flow states. Our work emphasizes mindfulness, resilience, and focus, so you can perform at your best without sacrificing balance or well-being. The goal is sustainable high performance grounded in clarity and intention, supported by evidence-based theories of behavior change and habit formation.
Career & Purpose
Align your professional path with deeper meaning and values. Together, we’ll explore career direction, decision-making, and the pursuit of purpose — ensuring that your achievements are not only successful but also fulfilling and authentic.
Teams & Collaboration
In addition to working with individuals, I also support teams. This work draws on my experience leading teams in corporate roles and working with couples and families as a therapist. I help groups strengthen communication, trust, and collaboration. The goal is better results and greater mutual understanding and appreciation.
A little more about me…
I’m a coach, therapist, and former technology executive and founder. My youth was split between the Boston Area and New York City, but for 20 years that I’ve had the pleasure of calling the Los Angeles beach communities home. My academic background includes an MBA from UC Berkeley, an M.A. in Counseling Psychology (emphasis in MFT and Depth Psychology) from Pacifica Graduate Institute, and a B.S. in Biology from the University of Wisconsin. Prior to becoming a therapist, I had successful careers in Investment banking (Lehman Brothers) and the technology industry (AOL, Sprint/Boost, and Livifi). Over a decade ago, at age 35, I was diagnosed with lymphoma. A four year struggle to survive followed, sparking my own inner journey and eventually the decision to become a therapist and support others on their journeys. As my therapy practice evolved, it became comprised of primarily male executives and professionals, and a lot of our time was spent discussing performance, career, and relationships will colleagues. Over time, MEN+ALLY Coaching became a natural extension of my practice. I’m honored to be able to witness the lives of my clients and collaborate on the growth and advancement they desire.
