Supporting men as they navigate new waters in life and relationships. 

Charting a new course together.

Ethan works predominantly with men who are going through stressful changes in their relationships. These life changes may be acute or more subtle—a change they chose or change they didn’t. Any of it can be hard. Ethan helps men to face these changes with honesty and compassion, improving their relationships with those they love and with themselves.

Entering a new chapter of life ultimately leaves us examining some of the ways we have gotten by in the past. Many men instinctively shoulder the load and go it alone. But this window of time also offers us the chance to try something new. Together, we can find new ways to relate to the issues before you. You will find more satisfaction in your relationships, a greater aptitude noticing and communicating your own emotional climate, and a new orientation towards the waters ahead.
