You don’t need a safe space.
You need someone who won’t let you hide.
If we don’t get at what’s driving you, nothing changes.
Parallax /'per-ə-ˌlaks/
The apparent shift in an object’s position caused by a change in the observer’s viewpoint.
Anti-Therapy
We create change by choosing discomfort.
Dr. Jim Mosher, PhD
Finding the right person.
I work with a small number of executives, board members, and business owners.
This work requires pace, depth, and rigor. Many high performers struggle to find people they genuinely take seriously. But for therapy to work, you need someone you trust, whose frame can encompass your own.
I didn’t build Parallax to create another successful business. I already run one, working exclusively with other therapists. I built Parallax because this kind of work—difficult, demanding, consequential—remains the most interesting work I know how to do, and extending it beyond therapists was a natural progression.
If you’re looking for someone at your level who will keep you on your toes while tracking both your breadth and depth, apply now.

Success has arrived.
Fulfillment hasn’t.
Many successful people find the most important thing—a contented life—still eludes them.
Maybe it’s the sense you’re still not enough, despite all you’ve accomplished.
Maybe your future still doesn’t feel secure, despite all you’ve earned.
Maybe it’s the need to retain control, because trusting others still feels unwise.
Success can be the problem
Being the biggest person in the room can be lonely. Being the smartest can be frustrating.
Successful people see around corners, and that can get in the way.
You need someone you take seriously—someone who is unimpressed by you, who is at least as smart as you, and who will put you on the hot seat for a change.
What drives you?
Bats and birds both have wings. Though the function is the same, the underlying structure isn’t. This is convergent evolution—different paths to the same outcome.
High performers look alike, though what drives them rarely is.
For some, it’s early neglect that required you to be in charge of everyone else.
For others, it was being a precocious kid in an average world, desperate to be seen.
And sometimes, things were fine; you’re just holding the standard that was set .
No matter the path, it’s the same outcome—success without fulfillment.
Real change requires we identify what’s driving you and start there.
Parallax | The Anti-Therapy
Parallax is my response to the limits of standard coaching and therapy.
First-principles change: We get beneath the surface, addressing the conscious and unconscious structures shaping you—and your role in maintaining them.
Responsivity: I am strategic, selectively responding to elicit change. Sometimes, that means listening; other times it means having an opinion and using it.
Equal footing: Smart people rarely feel seen, so finding a therapist you take seriously and who can put you on the hot seat matters.
Radical honesty: You can’t hurt my feelings. Be straight with me and I’ll do the same. After all, if your therapist can’t call out your bullshit, what’s the point?
Not for all. By design.
I only am interested in work that matters to us both, where we reliably achieve depth and get you out of your comfort zone. When those conditions are met, change occurs.
