Men today often encounter many tragic messages of self-blame. Even other therapists can fall into the trap of using negative or shaming language such as the “toxic masculinity” narrative. I abhor and avoid such messages. In contrast, I work from a strengths-based approach that prioritizes dignity and unconditional positive regard. I provide support for many concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, relationship breakdown and divorce, domestic abuse victimization, and more. I work primarily using CBT, ACT, and person-centred modalities.

I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies and skills while simultaneously working through the causes of issues. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving your understanding of your emotions, finding life-direction, resolving internal conflicts, or making peace with past experiences. Everyone’s needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ​grief, stress, trauma, ADHD, and exhaustion. Life can be hard sometimes and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they’re struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, healers, caregivers, entrepreneurs, advocates, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you’re tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you’ve come to the right place.

The human brain is an amazing tool with incredible possibilities. However, sometimes this wonderful tool can generate states and thoughts that are not as useful to us. Luckily our mind is also flexible, which means that with some intentional adjustments we can often change how we think, feel and behave. In a way, therapy is all about getting to know ourselves and using our mind’s own tricks to our advantage, to facilitate the changes we want to see.

I specialize in working with adults with anxiety and self-esteem issues. I also specialize in couple’s counselling and helping couples maneuver a variety of challenges in their relationship, such as a breakdown of communication, recurring arguments, life transitions, and intimacy issues.
