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

My basic belief is hopeful and positive: that ultimately people are “good” and are striving for wellness with the internal and external resources they have. I am committed to helping you unpack and leave behind stories and ways of coping that no longer serve your needs, while building resilience and moving towards new ways of relating to self and others, stepping authentically into life and relationships.
As a queer-identified woman, I am particularly interested but not exclusively focused on supporting clients within the LGBTQ2S+ community. I intentionally support overall mental wellness for all men, women and adolescents as we work to resolve, understand and reflect on barriers that exist in attaining psychological well-being.

Hello! My name is Matthew, and I help men who feel weighed down by stress, self-doubt, or the pressure to have it all together.

A combination of the following approaches is used: Existential-humanistic therapy, Schema therapy, Transactional analysis, Attachment therapy, Relational therapy, Core-life value therapy, Cognitive-emotional therapy, Solution-focused therapy.

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.
