Fatherhood is never easy. Single fatherhood — or preparing for separation or divorce — can feel crushing.
It's easy to feel like the victim of a situation you didn't choose, and the quiet sense that no one sees how much you're carrying only adds to the weight.
Conflict and uncertainty can leave you questioning your footing — but they don't have to define you.
I help fathers steady themselves under pressure, protect their bond with their kids, and find a clear way forward — so you can respond instead of react, stay emotionally grounded, and lead your family forward with integrity and confidence.

"Clarity in the most confusing season. More grounded, more connected to my kids." — Brian, Single Father
"I didn't realize how much I was holding in. Coaching helped me show up differently." — John, Group Program Participant
Some weeks ask more than grit. Many single fathers, and fathers preparing for separation or divorce, carry the weight quietly, expected to stay strong even while struggling inside. Without support, pressure builds, relationships strain, and kids start to feel the distance.
When you're truly seen, heard, and empowered, everything shifts. Coaching isn't about "fixing" you; it's about unlocking the strength, wisdom, and love you already carry.
And when you grow in these ways, your children feel it.

Expectations, not guarantees. Every father's pace is different.
The early weeks can still be bumpy—another tense pickup, another long thread, not much sleep.
We'll work small, repeatable steps in real situations, so progress sticks.
Coaching options designed for single fathers — and fathers preparing for separation/divorce. No two fathers face the exact same challenges. One father is navigating co-parenting conflict and shifting schedules; another is trying to stay grounded and present amid long message threads and tense pickups.
We'll match the support to your goals and bandwidth, and keep steps small and repeatable.
See details and current availability on the Services page »I'm Ian — a coach and a single father who's walked this road. I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed, shut out, or on edge, and still try to be the steady one your kids can count on. That's why I coach fathers: to help you reconnect with your purpose, strengthen your relationships, and step into the kind of father you want to be without losing yourself in the process. I didn't have this kind of support when I needed it, which is why I built the coaching I wish I'd had.
My work is simple and practical: slow the moment, find your footing, and act with integrity so you can show up with calm strength when it matters.
Some dynamics won't change right away — and some may not change at all. We'll focus on what you can control: simple scripts, boundaries, and follow-through — so you can de-escalate faster, protect the time you do have, and keep your week steady.
Stress spikes when deadlines or hearings loom. We'll prepare steady, factual communication and a clear plan for the week — so you can stay emotionally grounded and make decisions without panic. (Coaching is not legal advice.)
A lot of men weren't taught how to name what they feel without it turning into a fight. We won't use therapy jargon; we'll treat emotions as signals and translate them into clear choices. We'll practice simple skills—naming what's happening, pausing, and choosing a response—so you can stay grounded, say what matters without a blowup, and lead with integrity with your kids and co-parent.
Some changes take time; some shifts come quickly. Faster resets after tense moments and steadier choices with less second-guessing, so you can keep the week steady and move decisions forward without panic. (Expectations, not guarantees.)
You don't have to figure this out alone. Whether you're a single father, a father preparing for separation/divorce, or a professional looking to collaborate, I'd love to connect. Let's talk for 30 minutes — no pressure, no pitch — and map your next steps.
You'll leave with a simple plan for the next week or two — so you can move forward with steadiness.
