I help men manage stress and irritability without shutting down, exploding with anger, or causing rupture in relationships. I help you with coping right now while also getting to know what’s underneath the struggle to ensure you feel better long-term. I use a combination of Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Relational Therapy, & Emotion-Focused Therapy. I provide online counselling for anyone in Ontario.

I love working with men, men’s issues and young professionals navigating life transitions or anxiety – those are my sweet spots! I offer a super relaxed, down-to-earth approach that makes therapy more comfortable, accessible, and breaks down those barriers that make getting started difficult.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Marriage and Family Therapist and Co-Founder of Relationship Matters Therapy Centre. The way I work with clients is very person-centred, and collaborative. I recognize how we do not live in isolation. We all live in the context of much larger systems and multiple relationships that inevitably have an impact on how we experience the world. I like to keep things fair, down-to-earth, respectful, and equitable while creating an anti-oppressive space with clients to talk about the things that really matter to you

I focus on anxiety, issues impacting men, depression, addiction, life changes, relationship issues and grief and bereavement counselling. I am also part of a consultation group on gender, identity and sexuality. I believe we all have many stories to tell. Each story being unique, meaningful and worth telling. Through this process of telling these story-telling, we begin to heal wounds and find ourselves again. The many stories of my life led me through loss, grief, stress and pain but also joy, connection, meaning and love. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for people to discuss their emotions, thoughts and behaviours, and engage in a plan to create a rich and meaningful life.

For me, therapy is primarily about health, not illness. I believe that depression is a false story about who you believe you are. I work with men to help them discover the strong and capable person beneath the problems who is able to find a solid place in life. I have been a psychotherapist for 35 years and am eclectic and flexible in my approach to others according to their needs and abilities.
I have always been interested in what makes the world tick. After graduating from university I travelled, worked in a scrapyard, did furniture moving, courier delivery and worked as a driver for the disabled. I then followed this up with social service jobs in the YMCA and the government. However, I still felt unfulfilled in my search regarding life. And gradually it came to me: people, and what drives them, have created all of history. In this way I was led to my study of psychology, and my past 30 years in private practice have been a dream job.

As a man, prioritizing your mental health is crucial, and often, it’s overlooked or downplayed. I understand that men face unique challenges and life transitions that require specialized support. With over 20 years of professional experience as a clinical social worker and a Master of Social Work completed in 2021, I’m equipped to guide you through these challenges with a holistic approach that emphasizes the connection between physical health, nutrition, and mental well-being.
I’ve personally struggled with mental health, so I understand the importance of having the right support. My specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method for couples, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness allows me to offer tailored support for men dealing with various issues. Whether you’re navigating childhood trauma, experiencing postpartum depression, adapting to fatherhood, or transitioning into retirement, I’m here to help.
Remember, seeking mental health support is a sign of strength, and taking care of your mental well-being is vital for leading a fulfilling life. Let’s work together to address your unique needs and help you achieve lasting mental health.

I believe each client has unique needs which is why I take my lead from each client. Whether you’re feeling lonely, isolated, unwanted, or stressed; I will take the time to get to know your concerns first. Once we have identified your main concerns, we can work collaboratively towards your goals. I have experience working with adult men and seniors through crisis prevention and individual counselling. I currently provide virtual therapy as well as in-person counselling at my office in downtown Hamilton to adults 18+. Some approaches that I utilize are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Overall, I aim to provide a space where clients feel safe discussing their mental health.
