I am humbled to have been working in the helping field since 2003. During this time, I have walked alongside many people as they navigate life, deal with hardships, and persevere. I see my role in supporting you as holding space for your hurt and distress while also assisting you in finding the change you hope to see within yourself and the relationships around you. I strive to create a partnership of trust and support and to shine a light on your strength and capacity. Typically, people come to see me because life is hard, but counselling does not need to be. I infuse our time together with hope, and laughter. A little bit about me is that I am a partner, father, weekend athlete and outdoor enthusiast.

As a therapist, I am relational, experiential, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused. Because much of our suffering occurs as the result of being left unbearably alone in the face of overwhelming emotional experiences, our work together will be done in the context of a safe relationship, one that is characterized by secure attachment, where you are never alone with overwhelming emotional experiences. I use an integrative approach that draws on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), body-based therapies, attachment theory, inner child work, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness.

Accepting NEW Clients – Are you looking for support in navigating anxious thoughts or feelings, or what feels like a dark cloud following you around? Are you tired of feeling like you’re not enough? Is a new life change causing stress or needing exploring? Do you feel burdened by obsessive thinking, or difficulties with food and body image? Are there relationships in your life that you’d like to explore, or better understand how you feel when around others? Are you simply hoping to build self-awareness or coping strategies?

It’s normal if reaching out feels scary. I’ve worked with individuals in public, athletics, and private health settings, and i’m looking forward to connecting with you.

I specialize in two areas. Men’s sexual health and relationship concerns, where we co-examine the psychological, biological, social, and behavioural factors behind sexual issues or relationship insecurities that are creating barriers and holding men back from connecting.

I also help men explore work and life transitions: stressors that make people resistant to change. For some, it can be examining their “blind spots” that prevent them from recognizing the right time to make a transition.

I use a strengths-based approach to move you from where you are to where you want to be. I provide a caring and nurturing space for clients to express feelings, emotions, behaviours, and relationships.

I provide counselling services in French and English for individuals in matters related to anxiety, depression, life transition, gender, grief, loss and suicide. My practice is founded on the belief that you are not the “problems” present in your life, and that, above all, you are greater than the sum of the events in your life. As my counselling approach is strength-based, Solution-Focused and Narrative-rooted, our conversations will identify, explore and honour the big and small ways you defy and resist “problems”, while re-authoring a deeper and richer version of your life and journey.

Now more than ever, men are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to navigate financial strain, relationship tension, and shifting expectations of masculinity.

At Riverstone Counselling, I offer a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. You can talk openly, set the pace, be heard, and begin to reconnect with your values, your strength, and your sense of self.

Working with men is my passion – so much so that I did my PhD focusing on men’s well-being, masculinity, and healthy relationships. I’d love to share what I’ve learned and walk with you. Let’s get started, shoot me an email or book a free, 15-minute consultation on my website.
