My specialty has been in working with thousands of couples since 2002. In tandem with my wife, we offer both marriage counseling and couples coaching, as well as couples retreats all over the country.

When working with couples, I meet with the male counterpart of the couple individually helping them to live an honest and authentic life, not only impacting their immediate relationship but also every relationship they have in their life.

When men are unable to resolve the growing pain and confusion they experience within themselves, they often stray from their integrity and values. Infidelity is just one manifestation of this disconnection from their authentic selves.

Most therapists that work with couples are generalists and do not specifically dedicate their practice to working with couples. My entire career has been dedicated to helping couples create happy, healthy and fulfilling relationships, and thousands have already benefited from the unique approach that my wife and I have created.

Having integrated a multitude of evidenced based practices in the field of marriage counseling, I have CoFounded a unique and effective model working with couples called, Couples Synergy. I have worked in tandem with my wife having helped thousands of couples with this method since 2002, and it is the cornerstone of our counseling center in Chicago.

I am trained in many therapeutic modalities such as CBT, EFT, Person Centered, etc. Gestalt therapy is the therapeutic modality that I primarily approach clients with due to my personality style.

I am a certified coach through the International Coach Academy. This modality is used primarily for clients who do not fit criteria for needing mental health services.
