Hi, I'm Isaac.

My mission is to change how people understand themselves, their families, and their relationships.

What I do.

I'm the CEO of Jerry Wise Relationship Systems. Since 2021 I've led its growth into a global movement. I co-created the Road to Self program, built the media and infrastructure that carry the work, and I'm co-author of The Road to Self, publishing with Avery in June 2027.

I work closely with Jerry Wise, a widely followed voice in family systems. He has spent his career as a family systems therapist and coach, helping people free themselves from dysfunctional family patterns and develop a clearly defined sense of self.

The Road to Self.

Step Out of the Family Patterns That Shaped You and Into a Life of Your Own.

I co-authored The Road to Self with Jerry Wise. The book distills decades of his clinical work into a framework anyone can use to get their family out of them and become a solid, non-reactive self.

Pre-order

At the center of the work is self-differentiation: the ability to know who you are, remain yourself in relationships, and stop living from the emotional patterns you inherited.

Why I do this.

My work sits at the intersection of family systems psychology, education, and media. I believe self-differentiation is one of the most important capacities a person can develop. It belongs in everyday life, not only in the therapist's office.

It matters as much for a four-year-old as for a ninety-year-old, because age alone does not make a person differentiated. It shapes how we function in every relationship system we're part of: with our family, our partner, our children, our friends, the people we work with, the people we lead, and society as a whole.

I hold degrees in social work from the Hebrew University and clinical social work from Bar-Ilan University. Early in my career, I worked at a psychiatric center for teenagers in crisis within their families. Seeing up close how deeply family systems shape a person remains one of the most formative experiences of my life.

Along the way, I've worked with founders, CEOs, and thought leaders on how family patterns, reactivity, and overfunctioning shape the way they lead.

Does this mission speak to you? Let's talk.

If what we're building resonates, I'd love to hear from you about ideas that could bring this work to a wider audience. I'm always glad to connect with people building thoughtful, mission-driven work of their own.
