I work with adults—particularly men and queer/trans clients—who feel exhausted by coping alone, disconnected from themselves or others, or under pressure to “hold it together.”

My therapeutic approach is trauma‑informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from somatic therapy, attachment‑based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential and narrative approaches.

Sessions are paced collaboratively, with close attention to nervous system regulation, safety, and consent. Rather than pushing for insight or change before readiness, the work unfolds in a grounded and steady way that supports lasting integration and deeper self‑trust.

I offer remote therapy across British Columbia and Ontario.

Fit is everything in therapy, without it you can feel like you’re spinning your wheels wasting time and money, just not getting the results you want from your investment. The men who work well with me prefer someone who is no-nonsense, likes to laugh, swears a lot, and does not take themselves too seriously,. At the same time, I’m down for tackling serious, dark, gnarly issues that you may never have been willing to even say out loud.

I’m also a semi-retired dentist (weird combo, I know), with extensive expertise in chronic pain and serious health issues. I work with pain patients and caregivers to manage the wear and tear that pain and illness has on folks and their families.

Sound like maybe a good fit? Reach out.

I have helped people ask, and answer, the ‘Why?’ question for close to two decades now. During this time, I’ve come to the conclusion that people who seek out therapy are some of the bravest people in the world. I honour the courage that it takes to look inward and admit that you are in need, and I cherish the role that I have in supporting men through these times. I take a blended Narrative / Person-Centred approach to therapy. What this means is I believe that you are the expert of you, and I’m an expert in asking really good questions. Together, we can work to stabilize your thinking, understand your motivations, and increase your awareness. In short, my goal is for you to understand yourself better than you ever have before.

My work focuses on male survivors of sexual assault and trauma, and new parents. Through a non-judgmental and gently challenging approach, I help you examine areas of your life where you might be feeling stuck and support you in developing practical skills to take charge of your life.

Therapy can be a safe and confidential space where you can let your guard down and just be. Nothing is “too much” for you to share and we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I use evidence-based modalities, such as EMDR, CBT, and EFT to help you form more meaningful relationships with yourself and others and feel more confident and secure. I’ve been told I am easy to talk to, so I welcome you to reach out.

Do you find yourself tired of facing feelings of anxiety, “being stuck,” sadness, low motivation, or a lack of self-love? Are you interested in creating a stronger sense of self, understanding your choices, and digging into the roots of why you feel the way you do?

Do you want to learn more about how our physical health can influence our emotional well-being? Together, we can look at your past, present, and future goals, and provide you with an understanding of what this means to you. My therapy approach uses CBT, ACT, Narrative, and more, but our work would be unique to your goals and needs.
