Sometimes, the challenges we face can overwhelm our abilities to cope. This can lead us away from our values, sense of self and can make the future look uncertain.

During times of transition and uncertainty, we may require some extra support to help us make sense of the things getting in our way. My role as a therapist is not to provide you with an answer, it is to help you make meaning of your experiences.

I believe each person has their own innate wisdom and my job is to create a safe relational space for them to access it.

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.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ​grief, stress, trauma, ADHD, and exhaustion. Life can be hard sometimes and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they’re struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, healers, caregivers, entrepreneurs, advocates, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you’re tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you’ve come to the right place.
