You’ve been struggling for far too long. Feeling down, irritable, stressed, drained of physical, emotional and creative energy or just plain stuck seems to be your new normal and you’re tired of it. Something isn’t right and hasn’t been right for a while and you don’t want to burden your loved ones any more with your problems. Your relationships and work life are suffering, and you just want everything to be OK. Together we’ll compassionately explore what’s going on through an intuitive, fluid blend of Talk Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry and the Expressive Arts to get your life back on track.

Accepting NEW Clients (Individuals and Couples) – Are you feeling “stuck” in life and you’re looking for a way to better understand the steps forward? Have you heard of EMDR and you want to learn more about working through trauma and its impacts on your life? Is anxiety, stress, or low mood something you want to explore and learn strategies to cope differently? Are you a couple looking to work through infidelity, sexuality, or just simply want the skills to better communicate and understand each other?
I work with individuals and couples, where I also consider the impact of trauma and culture in the issues you’re looking to be supported with.

I specialize in empowering young adults in their late teens, 20s, and 30s reclaim confidence, happiness, and fulfillment, despite the challenges of low self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship struggles.
If you struggle with feeling that you are not enough, thinking that something is wrong with you, self-criticism when you don’t meet impossible standards, constant comparison that leaves you feeling “less than”, or the debilitating need for external validation, approval, and desire to please others even it its at your own expense, I would love to play a part in helping you get to the root cause of your concerns and equip you with the knowledge and tools needed for lasting positive change.

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.

My approach is client-centered, meaning that I am well-versed in a variety of approaches including CBT, EFT, Existential, Narrative, Art and mindfulness-based, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed and existentially-based methodologies, and utilize them to best fit my clients’ specific needs. I use these perspectives to guide men through various issues, such as depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I also have a Masters and undergrad in Religious Studies, which has allowed me to travel and study with a number of spiritual leaders within Christian, Indigenous, Buddhist and Muslim communities and can incorporate this experience and wisdom into a session if the client so desires.
