The first step is
a conversation.
Not a sales call. A conversation about fit, what you're dealing with, whether this is the right context, and if not, where to go instead. Uncertainty about which service you need is exactly where we start.
Most people arrive here through a referral.
This site is meant to give you a clearer sense of the work before we speak. The framework, the settings I work in, and the kinds of patterns I help people understand and change. There is no package to buy. No pressure to decide. A conversation, if it seems right.
Who finds their way here.
People usually reach out when performance is breaking down under pressure, leadership is becoming psychologically costly, or an old pattern is starting to interfere with work, relationships, or identity in a way that can no longer be managed privately. If any of that resonates, that’s enough.
Consulting and coaching are available regardless of location.
Clinical therapy is provided through supervised clinical practice in New York and New Jersey. Geographic eligibility is confirmed at the outset.

What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching is non-clinical. We work on execution, decision-making, and the systems that determine performance under pressure. It begins with a clear picture of what’s actually happening, that assessment is the foundation, not an assumption.
Clinical therapy is slower, deeper, aimed at the structures shaping how you function across your whole life. I’m trained in both. I’ll tell you which is right. I won’t blur that distinction.
What credentials do you hold?
Ph.D. Kinesiology (Sport & Performance Psychology) · M.A. Clinical Mental Health Counseling · CMPC · PCC · ACSM EP-C · NSCA CSCS · LAC (NJ) · LMHC Permit (NY) · USOC Registered Provider. The credential stack exists because the work requires it.
How are engagements structured?
Consulting and coaching: 3- or 6-month engagements. Clinical therapy: billed per session. Everything begins with an exploratory conversation. If it's not the right context, I'll say so.
Do you work with teams and organizations?
Yes, through The Antifragile Academy. Sports organizations, executive teams, surgical departments, and tactical units. Same framework, different scope.
What if what I need falls outside your scope?
I'm direct about scope. If what you need falls outside my context, I'll say so and refer you to someone better suited. That conversation happens before we begin.
What do you charge?
Rates are not posted publicly. They are discussed directly during our initial conversation.
