Emotional Clarity
Genuine Connection
For men ready to understand their emotions and show up more fully in their relationships
An opportunity to understand what’s happening inside.
If you are feeling distant from your emotions, or are unsure of how to express them, I’m here to help.
Working with me involves learning tools for emotional identification, regulation, and expression, so that you can live a more emotionally authentic life and support those you care about.
If you’re ready to up your emotional game, I’d be honored to support you.
Hi, I’m Lance.
I’m a licensed therapist and breathwork facilitator based in Elk Grove, California. My work centers on helping men build emotional awareness and communication skills so they can relate to themselves and others with more depth, honesty, and ease.
I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to make sense of emotions when you’ve only ever been taught two settings, feeling good or not good. For a long time, I didn’t have language for what was happening inside. Like many men, I learned to stay in control, keep things together, and move on quickly. It worked on the surface, but underneath there was a quiet disconnection from myself, and from others I deeply cared about.
Through years of my own work, training, and lived experience, I’ve learned that emotional awareness isn’t about becoming more “emotional”, it’s actually about understanding what you feel and being able to express it clearly. When you can name your inner experience and communicate it with honesty, everything shifts. Relationships deepen, self-respect grows, and life begins to feel more grounded and real.
The strategies and tools I teach now are the same ones that changed my own life. I’m passionate about guiding others through that same process; helping men move from emotional confusion or numbness toward a sense of clarity, self-trust, and genuine connection.
Many of the men I work with describe feeling emotionally disconnected. Some feel pressure to stay in control; others feel lost in frustration or distance. Together, we will slow things down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and build out a landscape of awareness and communication.
My Services
I offer both in person and tele-health counseling services.
Breathwork is currently online only
Individual Counseling
I offer a grounded, confidential space to slow down and understand what’s happening inside. Together, we’ll explore your emotions and patterns, strengthen your communication, and develop the clarity and confidence you need to create deeper connection in your life.
Breathwork Facilitation
Breathwork offers a powerful way to access emotion and insight through the body rather than the mind. In a safe, guided space, we use intentional breathing to release stored tension, move through blocks, and reconnect with parts of yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I specialize in working with men who want to better understand and express their emotions, men who feel disconnected, easily frustrated, or unsure how to communicate what’s really happening inside.
Many of my clients describe feeling emotionally flat or stuck in the same relationship patterns. Some struggle to feel close to others, while others carry unspoken pressure to stay composed and in control. My work helps you develop emotional awareness, strengthen communication, and build genuine connection, both with yourself and the people who matter most.
For those drawn to deeper work, I also offer Conscious Connected Breathwork a body-centered practice that supports emotional release and integration beyond talk therapy.
-
While much of my work centers on helping men develop emotional awareness and communication, my practice is open to anyone who resonates with this approach regardless of gender identity or expression.
The themes I focus on (emotional understanding, relational depth, authenticity, and embodied awareness) are universal. I’ve worked with people across the gender spectrum who share the same desire: to feel more connected to themselves and others, to communicate with honesty, and to live with a deeper sense of purpose and presence.
What matters most is your willingness to do the work. If this philosophy speaks to you, you’ll be welcome here.

Breathwork can be helpful if you:
Feel disconnected from your emotions or body.
Struggle to express what you feel, even when you want to.
Have done talk therapy and want to explore a more embodied approach.
Experience stress, burnout, or emotional buildup and want a safe way to release it
If you’re unsure, we can discuss it during a consultation to see if it aligns with your goals and health history.
Medical Note: Breathwork involves periods of intensified breathing. Some people may need medical clearance if certain conditions are present, including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, recent surgery, glaucoma, epilepsy, severe psychiatric conditions, or a history of stroke or aneurysm.
-
They can, but they don’t have to.
Therapy builds emotional insight and communication skills. Breathwork allows the body to process and release what talking can’t always reach. Used together, they create a full-spectrum approach, integrating mind, body, and emotion for more lasting growth.
-
Individual counseling and therapy are 200 for a 50 minute session. Breathwork facilitation is 250 for the first session and 200 for returning breathers.
I also offer sliding scale pricing for those who are unable to afford my full fee.
