Life today can feel like a constant race. Social media, career pressure, and messages about masculinity can leave you anxious, frustrated, or disconnected.
I work with young men who feel stuck, discouraged, or unsure of their direction. Therapy is a space to slow down and look closely at your thoughts, feelings, and patterns without judgment.
I do not give advice or try to fix you. I work collaboratively with you to build awareness, understand what is getting in the way, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and meaning that feels real and workable in your life.

As a Registered Psychologist, I am passionate about helping people experience meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in addressing many concerns, including: depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, stress and burnout, trauma/PTSD, work/school-related issues, and more. I have extensive experience counselling Alberta professionals including healthcare professionals such as physicians and nurses, educators, energy sector professionals, and more. I believe that meaningful change is best fostered when the therapy process is collaborative and client-centered. I practice from evidence-based approaches including solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and emotion-focused therapy.

I have worked successfully with a lot of men in my practice. I understand how hard it can be for men to seek help. At the same time I know from experience that there’s tremendous benefit involved for those men who take that first step. My counselling approach is about compassion and non-judgement. Whatever is happening for you will be accepted and faced together. From a stance of respect and an underlying core belief that you have the wisdom within you to overcome your challenges, I will support you in recognizing and engaging powerful resources both within you and around you. Counselling theories and methodologies I use include Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I have worked with individuals dealing with a broad range of concerns for over 15 years. This includes periodic difficulties (e.g. depression, anxiety, addiction, and insomnia), and more persistent concerns (e.g. maladaptive coping, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem).
I use a flexible approach drawing on training and experience in a number of theoretical orientations including: mindfulness-based, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic therapy. I work with clients to establish meaningful and concrete therapeutic goals that form the basis for monitoring progress.

I work with men experiencing difficult problems. Such problems go by many names, and may be new or old, but all share the common trait of stubbornly obstructing our happiness. Yet despite the hardship they cause, our problems also carry essential insight about what is needed for their resolution. I work with you to reveal these insights, to gather their wisdom, and to transform them into opportunities for greater well-being and engagement with life. You can visit my website to easily book a free, unhurried conversation about the problems you’re experiencing, and the life you’d like to live. We’ll talk about ways to help you move toward that life, using approaches that feel natural, intuitive, and possibly even exciting.

I believe that each one of us is on a journey of recovery, healing, repairing, growing and learning how to manifest authentically and creatively. I also believe that the individual personal work we do directly impacts those around us and our society at large. In order to find health, we have to connect with our families, neighbours and communities and to start deeply honouring our land, resources and all sentient beings.
As a psychosomatic therapist, my commitment is to hold space with an open mind and attuned heart so that you can feel safe as you stand in your truth. Collaboratively, we will create a space that nurtures an interpersonal connection where the ability to be authentic is met with integrity, compassion, and enthusiasm.

Men are often taught from a young age that it’s not “manly” to admit that they’re struggling. This can lead to men feeling ashamed and embarrassed about their mental health problems, which prevents them from seeking treatment.
However, it’s important for men to realize that there is no shame in seeking help. In fact, therapy is a very effective way to treat mental health issues, and there are many qualified therapists who specialize in helping men. I treat you as the valuable individual you are, and I give you my full attention. I believe in collaboration, so we work together as a team. Let’s work together to make changes for the better.
I draw from CBT to assess and explore how your thinking, assumptions, and beliefs inform your mood and behaviours. I draw from Psychodynamic Therapy to explore your past, relationships, and defense mechanisms that you have adopted over the years. Lastly, and most importantly, I draw from various schools and techniques to match your unique situation.

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.

Due to my own inter-generational trauma, I have been supporting men’s wellness for over 20 years. I have also been supporting Indigenous clients for over 10 years. More recently, in my work as Wellness Counsellor & Facilitator at Round Lake Treatment Centre, I have been specifically supporting Indigenous clients who have experienced inter-generational trauma (cultural, sexual, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual abuses, neglect, abandonment, shame, and grief & loss). As a result, my clients present with addiction, anxiety, depression, isolation, self-harm/suicide ideation, anger, and other co-occurring disorders.

I’m a registered clinical counsellor and certified sexologist. A big part of my work is centred around understanding sexuality and relationships, and supporting clients as they move through the challenges that can show up in those parts of their lives.
My therapy style is rooted in being curious, authentic, and collaborative.I see therapy as a shared process, where we work together instead of me prescribing solutions. I use evidence-based approaches while also offering meaningful tools and takeaways you can actually use in your day-to-day life. I aim to create a space that feels comfortable and honest, where you can show up as you are and move at your own pace. I specialize in sex therapy, couples therapy, and trauma.
