Where Power Meets Truth — Right When the World Needs It Most

We live in a moment shaped by power plays.

Now more than ever, it matters how we hold our own power: with clarity, calm, and a quiet courage to see ourselves as we really are. So that we can take it out in the world to do the most good.

I work with individuals and couples who want to do just that.

Whether you command a boardroom, lead a family, or carry burdens no one else can see, if you want deeper truth, steadier freedom, and real change, you’re in the right place. This work is about getting real, getting curious, and getting unstuck — all while keeping your nervous system in the loop.

How I work

I’ve been renting out my brain - and my heart - for over twenty years.

Part detective, part co-pilot, part truth-teller.

When you sit with me, you don’t just get a session. You get my knowledge, my wisdom, my humor, my intuition, my radical fucking honesty — and my astonishingly unusual brain, focused entirely on you for one precious dense hour each week, digging, wondering, marveling.

I offer a quiet European office, a simple California license, and a deep fascination for the human animal in all her stunning beauty and contradictions.

I’ll meet you exactly where you are — in the morning, via Telehealth, in the privacy of your own home.

Au fait—je suis aussi bilingue anglais - français 🇫🇷

Why Now

This moment in history demands we use our power differently — not to dominate, but to heal, connect, and build a future worth living in. This is my part: sitting beside you while you remember how.

Who I Work With

Folks with ADHD/Hunter brains

As someone with ADHD, I get it.

We’re not broken—we’re wired differently.

I help folks shed years of shame by understanding the subtle ways ADHD shows up—and how to thrive with it.

Couples Needing Coaching

I work best with couples who are past the screaming and ready to work.If you’re committed to shifting how you communicate, I’ll meet you with fierce honesty, deep empathy, and the structure to move forward.

Men Craving To Feel and Be Felt

Believe me, I get it—the pressure to be the strong one.

To hold it together, even when you’re falling apart inside.

Sometimes you just need another man to sit across from you and say, “You’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.”

Couples Opening Up

I work with couples excited about exploring ethical non-monogamy—not in crisis, but curious.

I’ll help you navigate the emotional terrain of one of the most beautiful, complex forms of intimacy I know.

Exploring the Human–AI Frontier

Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I’ve been building a research lab where psychology, neuroscience, and AI meet. Out of this work emerged Cliff — an AI collaborator shaped by therapeutic tools. The result is the European Center for Amygdala Sovereignty, dedicated to keeping human well-being and the biosphere at the center of AI development.

Each week I publish Dispatches from the Last Frontier: field-tested insights and practical empathy protocols for therapists, teachers, and parents navigating the AI age.
