I am deeply committed to creating a healing space where individuals can explore and navigate life’s challenges. My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally-sensitive framework, recognizing the impact of diverse identities on mental health. Working collaboratively with both adults and teens, I offer support for a range of issues, from anxiety and depression, to Tourette’s and OCD, to the aftermath of trauma.

I believe that therapy is a space in which we work collaboratively to create a reparative relationship that nurtures and fosters insight, growth, safety, and resilience — a space in which one’s own innate internal reservoir of resources can be given the space and time to guide the way towards healing.

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 clients receive a genuine, dedicated, and committed therapist. I always make sure I am checking in and seeking feedback to ensure our time together is meaningful and beneficial. I have been told many times that I am approachable, funny, and easy to talk to. If I can make someone laugh when they are dealing with a difficult situation, then why not? I am straight-forward and supportive. I have a decade of experience as a social worker and have the clinical skills to know how to approach different personalities in order to build rapport in a short time frame.

As a man, prioritizing your mental health is crucial, and often, it’s overlooked or downplayed. I understand that men face unique challenges and life transitions that require specialized support.

I’ve personally struggled with mental health, so I understand the importance of having the right support. My specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method for couples, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness allows me to offer tailored support for men dealing with various issues. Whether you’re navigating childhood trauma, experiencing postpartum depression, adapting to fatherhood, or transitioning into retirement, I’m here to help.

Remember, seeking mental health support is a sign of strength, and taking care of your mental well-being is vital for leading a fulfilling life. Let’s work together to address your unique needs and help you achieve lasting mental health.

I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication, sex, and identity.

The fit between therapist and client is tremendously important and it is difficult to gauge from a few sentences on a website. If you are curious about my approach, I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation.

In my role as your therapist, I am committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can share your story. Throughout our sessions, I pay close attention to the words and language you use, and I incorporate metaphors and imagery to aid in our work together. I also integrate mindfulness and compassion techniques to help you cultivate greater self-awareness and kindness towards yourself. Together, we will explore the root causes of your anxiety, stress, anger, or depression, and I will support you in challenging and transforming any unhelpful patterns that are keeping you stuck. My goal is to empower you to understand the source of your pain and to help you move forward in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you. To achieve this, I will tailor my approach to your specific needs and preferences.
