My work serves a wide range of adult individuals seeking therapy for anxiety, trauma, self-worth, self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and existential issues. You may realize an especially good fit with me if you’re a man and/or are a member of the BIPOC or gay communities navigating identity, trauma, and relationship difficulties, a young adult seeking meaning and fulfillment, or a professional struggling with stress & burnout.

I practice using an integrative, trauma-informed, and insight-oriented approach that draws on emotion focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, attachment and family of origin work, and EMDR.

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.

Welcome – I’m glad you’re here. I specialize in supporting men navigating disconnection and loneliness, first responders, and post-secondary students facing academic and personal challenges. My practice is rooted in empathy, resilience, and transformation. Together, we’ll explore what’s possible and help you move forward with more clarity.

Blending psychoanalytic depth and mind-body awareness, I offer space for insight, healing, and meaningful growth – where lasting change begins from within.

If you’ve found yourself here, it may be because something in your life feels tender, heavy, or uncertain – and that matters deeply. If this speaks to you, I invite you to reach out when you’re ready. You don’t have to hold it all

I hold deep respect for men who courageously take the pivotal step toward their emotional growth. Therapy is a proactive choice that represents your commitment to your own wellness. My primary goal here is to help you navigate the complexity of your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, patterns and equip you with tools to thrive in your relationship, workplace, and all your varied roles.

Our sessions will be tailored to meet your unique needs and goals as I draw strategies from a range of therapeutic frameworks like CBT, DBT, EFT, and IFS. In the past, I have worked with individuals dealing with concerns like depression, anxiety, ADHD, self-criticism, perfectionism, burnout, family discord, relationship intricacies, and end of relationships.
