I have a strong background focusing on healthy relationships. This includes a focus on anger, conflict and reducing abuse. Furthermore, this work is complemented by significant experience working on issues of anxiety and depression, with much of my work predominantly done with men and young adult men.

Hello, thank you for visiting my profile. Dismantling stigma around mental health and promoting a culture of help seeking is very important to me. I work with relationship issues, work-related stress, loss, trauma, addiction, and anxiety. I have helped men, women and individuals of different ages, professions, diverse backgrounds and cultural groups with a wide range of difficulties and themes.
Our work together will help you feel more empowered, hopeful and in control when tackling life’s challenges and embracing change.
I recognize that seeking support or taking the step to speak to someone can be an intimidating process. I want to assure you that I will meet you where you are at; in a safe, kind, genuine, and non-judgmental space.

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.

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 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.

He and his team are here to help you untangle longstanding patterns so that you can take back control over your emotions and live a more meaningful life.

In my experience, and according to research, the biggest factor in how well therapy works is the client-therapist relationship. That’s one reason you can expect me to be genuine, empathetic, positive, and affirming. Also, I don’t have a “one size fits all” approach to therapy. Instead, I will work with you to custom-fit a therapy experience based on your unique needs and expressed concerns.

My approach to treatment and counseling is a holistic one which includes using evidence-based models of psychotherapy, as well as more alternative based therapeutic methods. I utilize different modalities and focus on the entire person where we assess and look at their mind, body, and spirit. I see every individual as a complex and unique being who is a product of their environment and genetics (nature and nurture). In turn, we come up with a treatment plan that is supportive, multi-faceted, and specific to your needs. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and grief.
