I was born to a 15-year-old mother in abject poverty. Today, I am a devoted husband and father, an author, a speaker, and a sought-after voice in the field of psychotherapy. It has been a long and circuitous road between those two points. Some of those miles I would not wish on my worst enemy, but what I have learned on this journey I would not trade it for the world.

After walking away from a promising professional hockey career to pursue my dream of becoming an actor, I moved to NYC, where I performed on stage, television, and film. That city and that career taught me invaluable lessons in resilience and adaptability.

Through those years, I learned the value of working on myself, to always ask hard questions, and to never, ever stop learning. It was in this discipline that I found my true calling: to become a therapist.

I honed my skills as a practitioner and developed a profound understanding of the human psyche at The Helix Training Program in New York. Later, I did my graduate work at Mercy College under the noted Marriage and Family Therapist Dr. Evan Imber-Black.

As my family expanded, so did my commitment to helping others navigate their own transformative journeys. With each step, from clinical intern to building a thriving practice to developing my own therapeutic methodology, I've remained steadfast in my dedication to empowering individuals to achieve profound transformation.

Today, as a Licensed Clinical Therapist, author of The Practice of Love, and creator of transformative workshops, corporate talks, and podcasts, I stand at the intersection of Western clinical psychology and Eastern philosophy. I offer tangible practices and resources to guide individuals toward clarity, confidence, and profound wholeness. My approach, infused with mindfulness, candor, and a touch of humor, serves as a beacon of hope for those seeking balance and fulfillment in every aspect of their lives.
