Hello, I'm Clay B.
I work with clients who want to think more clearly, act more intentionally, and align inner conviction with outward leadership. Together, we blend symbolic, pattern-based, and structured thinking—helping you untangle complexity and make confident decisions when the stakes feel high. Rather than offering advice, I create the conditions for deeper clarity to emerge from within.
