I have experience working with children, youth, and adults, in both individual and couple settings. I believe in tailoring my counselling sessions to meet the unique and individualized needs of each client, specifically with a holistic approach by taking into consideration sociocultural factors that may be impacting your well-being. My treatment approach typically includes Person-Centered Therapy, Feminist Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Strengths-Based Therapy. My approach encourages you to engage in continuous self-reflection and self-exploration, specifically by having you reflect on your core values and seeing if it aligns with your daily actions and habits. I am dedicated to creating a supportive environment.

Making the decision to ask for help is hard, being a man and asking for help is even harder. The expectations of masculinity have changed- I know I’ve lived it! I am a father, husband, friend and professional who is navigating these expectations-to be a protector and provider, a partner and mentor, an empathetic listener and a high-five celebrator.

My greatest learning is that vulnerability is strength, sharing is courage, and understanding yourself is vital. I will meet you where you are and together, we will figure out what will work for you. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship, career change, divorce/separation, parenting, anger, and trauma (workplace/childhood). Let’s talk.

Men today often encounter many tragic messages of self-blame. Even other therapists can fall into the trap of using negative or shaming language such as the “toxic masculinity” narrative. I abhor and avoid such messages. In contrast, I work from a strengths-based approach that prioritizes dignity and unconditional positive regard. I provide support for many concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, relationship breakdown and divorce, domestic abuse victimization, and more. I work primarily using CBT, ACT, and person-centred modalities.

I have a special interest in men’s mental health, ADHD, and sleep problems. I support men who feel pressure to hold it together, push through, or handle things alone. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or have a clear goal from day one. At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful change happens through small, steady steps.

You don’t have to overhaul your life all at once. Therapy can be a place to pause, get your bearings, and figure out your next solid move—like checking the map before continuing the hike. My goal is to offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can build insight, develop tools, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence, at your own pace.

Over the years as a psychologist, I have learned that you can be good at working in many areas, but you can only be great at some, so I decided to gather a team of therapists whom I trust and that have unique skill sets and varying personality styles to compliment my own and provide other alternatives for you. My team supports all ages and concerns. Many of us enjoy working with men on ‘what it’s like being a man in this day and age’ stuff, as it’s a different landscape to navigate these days! Please check out my website to see all of us and how we can best assist you.
