I provide psychotherapy for various issues, including, but not limited to, childhood and adult trauma in all of its various forms, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, stress management, anger, and other related issues. I seek to support the client in a way that is individualized and, integrates the approach that is best suited to the individual, including, but certainly not limited to, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Ego-State Therapy, and other trauma-focused interventions. I enjoy working with all aspects of change and transition in one’s personal development and working with the client to address their specific needs.

I take a holistic approach to mental health, and have worked in fitness and areas of spirituality prior to my work as a therapist. I help men figure out their lives as they reconsider their past, close the chapters they have yet to close, and move on to the next phase of their journey. Whatever the issue, I like to attack both symptoms and the roots of whatever ails you with a mix of Cognitive-Behavioural and Narrative therapeutic approaches.

I provide online therapy using evidence-based practices to help individuals overcome their challenges by learning better skills. Skills that can help them gain control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and to live more successful lives. The focus of my approach is change oriented and compassion-driven. Assessments are done at the beginning to best understand the individual and plan for helpful life giving conversations. Remote therapy only.

There are times in life when each one of us will encounter challenges or difficult situations. In those times, it takes courage to reach out and ask for help, but we are all in this together, and there is help here. Being of service to another human being and finding a way to help is a privilege I am grateful for whenever it is presented to me. My goal is to do just that, to help my clients find a way to work through the challenges of life in a way that best suits who they are in a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative approach. You already have everything you need to be happy and overcome the obstacles life has put in your way. My job is to help you discover and develop those strengths.

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 believe that we all have the capacity to heal and process through emotional pain, however, I also acknowledge that sometimes we lose touch with our innate resources and safe connections. My role as a therapist is to provide space for clients in an empathic, non-judgemental, and curious manner in order to aid in their self-discovery. I work from a client-centred approach such that the client leads each session, while I provide reflection, feedback, and space for them to process and safely explore all parts of themselves. I incorporate components of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I have been providing counselling support to men living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, addictions, sleep, chronic pain, and relationship issues since 2010. I provide individual therapy using a variety of modalities including cognitive behavioural, strengths-based, and trauma-informed therapies that honor your strengths and experiences. I work with many veterans and current military members. I offer a variety of specialized therapies empirically validated to treat trauma. Many of my clients are dealing with and learning to manage chronic pain.

Beyond my master’s degree in counselling psychology, I have extensive training as an existential therapist and integrate elements of humanistic, psychodynamic, and contemporary cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques in my work to form an individualized treatment plan that is co-authored with the client.

I work from a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach. I believe that you have everything you need to heal within you and lead a more authentic and meaningful life, and my work with you will help bring that out. I use a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) lens. I believe your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are all interconnected and each one of them impacts and affects the other.
However, I also often use other modalities in my practice based on your individual needs. Some other modalities I use are acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Gestalt, and observed experiential integration (OEI) level 1.
Regardless of the modalities I use with you in our work together, I place a huge emphasis on getting to know you and your story.

I aim to create a non-judgmental space where the relationship between client and counsellor is built on trust and mutual respect. I see therapy as a journey—one that requires patience, empathy, and a deep respect for your unique story. My approach is person-centered, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own life. You’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to support and collaborate with you to find a path forward that truly fits who you are and what you need.

Struggling with your sleep? You lay awake, for what feels like hours, only to fall asleep in short fits, punctuated by waking up in the middle of the night, just to try it all over again. Maybe you’ve tried pharmaceutical or over-the-counter strategies with mixed results. Thankfully, there is a substance-free way to treat sleep disorders and issues.
Our psychotherapeutic work will focus on applying the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi) to your particular situation. It’s not easy, but it gets results; with remission rates surpassing those seen in other disorders. Piqued your interest? Maybe your minds telling you it won’t work for you? Let’s chat about it over a consultation to figure out a path forward.

My approach involves understanding your unique circumstances, building a strong and trusting relationship, applying proven interventions and practical solutions to the problems, and using direct feedback to increase awareness of blind spots. I work with clients to address immediate challenges and to identify and treat the root causes for lasting change. My style has been described as warm, validating, and honest with a dash of humor.
