Money is a Leading Cause of Emotional Pain and Family Conflict.
It is also the leading cause of stress in the US and takes courage to address because it often triggers underlying issues. In a changing cultural environment, managing financial and relational stress can seem overwhelming and isolating, particularly for men and for families in business together.
As a licensed psychotherapist, certified financial therapist, and family business consultant shaped by an extensive career in finance with deep roots in family business, I offer a unique set of technical expertise and therapeutic insight to help clients change unhealthy thoughts, behaviors, and communication patterns rooted in money and family life — and bring relief to the table.
I get it. Experience equips me to help.
If you’re reading this, you’ve taken the first —and often hardest— step on the road to resolution. Welcome.
Together, we will set achievable goals to relieve your distress, strengthen your confidence in life, work and family, and empower your Mental Wealth.

Therapy for Men
We all experience situations that overwhelm and isolate us: feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression we can’t quite control. Left untreated, these can worsen, greatly affecting our daily lives, careers, and relationships.
Seeking the support of a trained therapist shouldn’t be the last resort, rather it’s a natural and necessary part of a balanced, healthy life—much like routine and preventative healthcare.
Individual therapy can help us learn how to tap into ourselves to understand what’s troubling us, confidently express our needs, and relieve our pain without overwhelm and/or feeling stuck, which is something most men are not traditionally taught to do.
Suffering in silence can lead to poor decisions. You don’t need to do this alone.
Financial Therapy
Money is complex and emotional, and our relationship with it often connects to how we were raised. Many families hardly talk about money. Some don’t ever talk about it because it can feel so uncomfortable.
In tough times and even with relative abundance, money brings many challenges to our lives and relationships.
Left unaddressed, these can cause irreparable damage to our marriages, families, and the financial health and legacies we work so hard to build.
How can YOUR relationship with money and family life be improved before they reach a boiling point?
Couples and Family Financial Therapy
Financial conflict is the #2 cause of divorce and family strife. From income discrepancies between partners to defining values around money, to intractable sibling conflict when affording care for sick parents and loved ones, finances are often a point of contention.
In fact, family businesses often fail after the first generation and many families suffer irreparable rifts over budgeting, spending, and estate planning decisions. Decisions ranging from who has control over the purse strings today to how much to give the children after we’re gone can paralyze us, waste opportunities and destroy legacies.
We often give so much power to money at the peril of our most precious relationships.
But there is hope for resolution. When you and your family are ready to face your money and relationship issues head-on, let’s talk. Therapy provides a neutral, secure environment to explore and address the underlying causes of your family’s issues before they get out of hand.
Family Business Consulting
Therapeutically-Informed Family Business Consulting supports leaders and families navigating the emotional complexity that comes with legacy, leadership, and growth. When family and business systems overlap, issues like succession and ownership transitions often stir up tension, conflict, and relational strain. These challenges aren’t just logistical—they’re deeply personal. I help families get unstuck through skilled mediation, conflict resolution, and facilitated dialogue—so hard conversations around power, responsibility, and legacy can lead to clarity and collaboration.
Building and managing your own business is an incredible feat. However, along with the rewards and successes, there are unique pressures, which can often lead to feeling isolated. After all, it’s lonely at the top. Add family dynamics to the mix, it can become overwhelming. In a private, judgment-free space, I help leaders navigate stress, strengthen communication, and align personal values with business decisions— without the fear of judgements in the workplace or repercussions from bringing the stress home.
Hoping it all falls into place is not a good strategy. You need to be proactive in managing your and your family's future.
