Now welcoming new clients in Ontario! I provide virtual therapy for people who feel like they’re constantly holding it together on the outside, but inside it’s a different story. Whether it’s anger catching you off guard, tension in your relationships, sadness that lingers, or stress that’s hard to shake, you don’t have to figure it out alone. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens when we feel seen, heard, and accepted.

If you’re curious about working together, I offer a free 30-minute consultation so we can connect and see if it feels like a good fit. You can book an appointment directly through my website.

new mindset CBT is a virtual clinic specializing in anxiety, PTSD and related conditions.

I use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to help you set realistic goals, learn new ways to respond to your negative thoughts, and change the behaviours that hold you back from living your best life. You are active in therapy, which helps maintain your progress in the long-term.

My aim is to work with you to help increase your confidence, and address the fears holding you back. If you think new mindset CBT is right for you, contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation.

I believe we all have the ability to work through our own struggles when provided with a safe nonjudgemental space to process thoughts, emotions and memories. I aim to provide that space to people as I have benefited from that process myself over the years. I don’t believe I’m an expert in anyone else’s life but I have expertise in listening, asking questions and helping people tolerate and regulate difficult emotions and thoughts. I have struggled in the past myself and know that a good therapist can make a huge difference, so I strive to be that therapist for others.

I work within an integrative approach, utilizing person-centered, CBT, ACT, DBT, IPT, IFS, EFT and psychodynamic interventions. I consider the individual and their presenting concerns, thus pulling from different orientations to best suit my client. My approach to psychotherapy relies heavily on existential ideologies, highlighting our shared human experience of daily struggles and pain and suffering. I also recognize the uniqueness of each of our stories and strengths, creating a therapy where one leaves with more insight and trust within thyself.

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.

In my therapy practice, I deeply understand the frustration and confusion that come with phrases like “I am so frustrated! What is going on in my mind?” If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. My commitment is to create a safe, empathetic environment where your thoughts and feelings are not just heard, but deeply understood and validated.

 

Together, we will navigate your inner world, easing the overwhelming thoughts that can feel isolating and confining. In our sessions, whether in-person or online, we will explore your unique challenges in a warm, inviting atmosphere, gently guiding you towards a journey of personal growth and emotional resilience. Your struggles are real, and you matter immensely. If you’re ready to begin this transformative path, reach out to me. Our collaborative work will focus on creating a space where your voice leads the way, where we share the goal of your well-being and inner peace.

Are you hoping to improve your mood and return to “feeling like yourself” again? Do you feel trapped by your triggers, traumas, or experiences, and want to better understand how your thoughts and feelings today are still connected to the past? Do you want a therapist who takes into consideration your values and background to help connect you to your experiences of past, present and future? If this sounds like you, together we can explore the ways you’re struggling or hoping to learn more about yourself in our work. I support both individuals and couples through their journeys. I hold a Masters of Counselling Psychology from Adler University and I am an EMDR Trauma practitioner which connects emotions, the body, and our traumas to heal.
