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.

My work focuses on male survivors of sexual assault and trauma, and new parents. Through a non-judgmental and gently challenging approach, I help you examine areas of your life where you might be feeling stuck and support you in developing practical skills to take charge of your life.
Therapy can be a safe and confidential space where you can let your guard down and just be. Nothing is “too much” for you to share and we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I use evidence-based modalities, such as EMDR, CBT, and EFT to help you form more meaningful relationships with yourself and others and feel more confident and secure. I’ve been told I am easy to talk to, so I welcome you to reach out.

In my experience, and according to research, the biggest factor in how well therapy works is the client-therapist relationship. That’s one reason you can expect me to be genuine, empathetic, positive, and affirming. Also, I don’t have a “one size fits all” approach to therapy. Instead, I will work with you to custom-fit a therapy experience based on your unique needs and expressed concerns.

My approach to treatment and counseling is a holistic one which includes using evidence-based models of psychotherapy, as well as more alternative based therapeutic methods. I utilize different modalities and focus on the entire person where we assess and look at their mind, body, and spirit. I see every individual as a complex and unique being who is a product of their environment and genetics (nature and nurture). In turn, we come up with a treatment plan that is supportive, multi-faceted, and specific to your needs. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and grief.

Hi! I’m Michael, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) specializing in talk and somatic therapy. I have education in health systems and relational therapy.
Interpersonal relationships play a central role in our mental health over our lifespan, and taking time to reflect on our closest relationships, or ourselves can be grounding and stress relieving. In a session with me, you can expect to tap into your feelings and dilemmas, get creative with problem-solving and sit with the unknown, all while being in a safe, receptive, and inclusive space.
My specific areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, self-harm, existentialism, interpersonal conflicts, spirituality, and burnout. I offer a trauma-informed and inclusive space.

Perhaps you have experienced trauma, feel lost trying to understand your mind, and want to reduce the impact of painful thoughts and feelings. I can help you to find calm and peace in your life, and create a rich, full and meaningful life. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and a Brainspotting Therapist who specialized in treating people with Anxiety, Depression and Trauma.

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 enjoy working with men who are interested in their own personal growth and wellbeing.
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where men can explore and gain further insight into their thoughts, feelings, sensations, and behaviours. My clients may be struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, anger and irritability, low self esteem, or are having difficulties with assertiveness. They may also be struggling with a lack of clarity or sense of meaning and purpose in their lives, or are adjusting due to major life changes.
I try to help men break free from unhelpful patterns and sterotypes by discussing coping strategies and connecting them with their values, creativity, sense of humour, and what is most meaningful to them.

I believe in tailoring our therapeutic process to your unique needs and goals. My approach focuses on helping you become comfortable and confident in your own abilities, while introducing new strategies from evidence-based modalities to help you create a healthier and happier life. I use a variety of humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, dialectical, psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches. I work on an underlying foundation of trust, honesty and compassion, and provide a supportive environment that facilitates growth and healing. I practice through a lens of lived experience with trauma and mental illness. I understand how dark and frightening the difficult times can be, but I also know that it is possible to emerge a stronger, more resilient person.
