Hello, I am Ralph… a.k.a. “DSO”. I am the founder of this website, dadstartingover.com, and author of the books, “The Dead Bedroom Fix”, “DIVORCE PANIC”, “REAL TALK” and “Red Flags”. I’ve been coaching and counseling men for almost seven years now on a range of different topics, including:

Marriage
Dead Bedrooms
Divorce
Dating
Entrepreneurship

I’m an excellent and effective listener, motivator, and coach. I enjoy working long-term with clients and watching them achieve their goals in life.

What can you expect when I work with you:

I’m a good listener – I will listen, digest and ask a ton of questions. I don’t nod, hum sympathetically and look at the clock. I’m here to help get results.

My opinion – I don’t hold back. I’ll tell you what I think of your situation… no holds barred. I’m not yet another person telling you that you are awesome and nothing is your fault. That doesn’t produce results.

Homework – Every session you will leave with something to do until over x days/weeks. You have to keep moving or else you will stagnate. I help you do the RIGHT thing at the right time.

Results – I will hold you accountable. I will make sure you come out ahead as a stronger man with a real game plan and real hope.

Yes, I have been there and done that. I know what it takes to transform yourself. You can read my story here (told in three parts). I look forward to working with you and helping become the man you always knew you could be.
