Therapist · Writer · Relational Systems Architect · Founder of The Human Equation
The moment I learned what healing really requires wasn’t in graduate school — it was in the middle of my own life falling apart. Like many of the fathers, mothers, and couples I now work with, I didn’t just study these systems. I survived them.
There is a particular silence that settles over a home when a family system begins to fracture — a silence full of questions you’re not ready to ask and answers you’re not prepared to hear.
I found myself inside that silence once, navigating the disorientation of identity collapse, co-parenting pressure, grief, and the rebuilding of a life that no longer made sense in its old form.
What I discovered — painfully at first, then with clarity — is that people don’t break.
Stories break.
Identities break. Relationships break under unmet needs, inherited patterns, and unfinished grief.
But people? People can be rebuilt.
And in that realization, The Human Equation was born — a community and framework for rebuilding identity, connection, and meaning.
My introduction to human behavior began long before my clinical career — with my mother, Dr. Martine J. RoBards, a psychologist, neuroscientist, and pioneer in personality systems, organizational development, and type-temperament theory.
I grew up surrounded by the language of identity, values, human systems, and the strange, beautiful ways people try to make meaning.
“People are not problems. They are systems — rich, complex, adaptive systems waiting to be understood.”
Her work became the foundation I stand on today. The Human Equation continues that lineage — translating deep psychological and systems-based frameworks into tools real people can actually use to rebuild themselves.

Therapy matters — deeply. But therapy is not the entire story.
People heal more sustainably when:
This is why The Human Equation is built not as a clinic, but as a community — a steady relational structure where identity can be rebuilt through belonging, practice, and shared language.
“When a person loses their story, they lose their self. When they reclaim their story, they reclaim everything.”
The Insight Series helps people:
Because no one should have to navigate identity collapse alone.
Because men deserve spaces where masculinity is conversation, not performance.
Because parents deserve support that isn’t filtered through conflict.
Because couples deserve a chance to repair before they resign.
Because people deserve to feel like the authors of their own lives again.
Healing is a human equation — one we solve together.
