Our sessions are practical and down-to-earth, giving you tools to manage stress, improve relationships, and reconnect with what matters most.

For 18+ years I have assisted adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I use a collaborative approach with clients to develop treatment plans, and goal setting. You know your experience — your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — better than anyone else. I incorporate mindfulness into my therapy practice to aid in anxiety reduction, productivity, self-awareness and confidence. I have studied and include in my practice other approaches such as cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, secular Buddhism, narrative, Imago (for effective couples’ communication) and emotion-focused therapy.

Feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Whether it’s anxiety, difficult relationships, substance use, depression, or feeling lost and disconnected, you’re not alone. With a background in addiction and substance use counselling, I’ve supported clients in discovering practical insights, tools, and resources to help them move forward. Successes with clients in personal well-being, relationships, family dynamics, coping, and adapting to change inform our work together.
I value and support you as you are. Clients describe me as a counsellor who genuinely listens and understands them. Let’s discover what works best for you, so you can maintain lasting relief, hope, and peace. If this is something that might interest you, I look forward to connecting. Let’s see what’s going on for you and where we can go from here.

I enjoy working with men who are interested in their own personal growth and wellbeing.
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where men can explore and gain further insight into their thoughts, feelings, sensations, and behaviours. My clients may be struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, anger and irritability, low self esteem, or are having difficulties with assertiveness. They may also be struggling with a lack of clarity or sense of meaning and purpose in their lives, or are adjusting due to major life changes.
I try to help men break free from unhelpful patterns and sterotypes by discussing coping strategies and connecting them with their values, creativity, sense of humour, and what is most meaningful to them.

I love reaching out to men and have felt, through my long practice, that it is crucially important to provide a safe environment for men in therapy, which is so predominantly a woman’s world. I have provided talks to men’s organizations about the difference between men and women in relationships and in my Psychology Today blog, posted an article called ‘Men’s Marriage/Women’s Marriage’. I work with any issues that a client wishes to bring in. My specialties are divorce and couple relationships.
