Men are often taught from a young age that it’s not “manly” to admit that they’re struggling. This can lead to men feeling ashamed and embarrassed about their mental health problems, which prevents them from seeking treatment.

However, it’s important for men to realize that there is no shame in seeking help. In fact, therapy is a very effective way to treat mental health issues, and there are many qualified therapists who specialize in helping men. I treat you as the valuable individual you are, and I give you my full attention. I believe in collaboration, so we work together as a team. Let’s work together to make changes for the better.

I draw from CBT to assess and explore how your thinking, assumptions, and beliefs inform your mood and behaviours. I draw from Psychodynamic Therapy to explore your past, relationships, and defense mechanisms that you have adopted over the years. Lastly, and most importantly, I draw from various schools and techniques to match your unique situation.

I am a therapist providing individual care for youth (12+) and adults out of Ottawa, Ontario, the traditional, unceded territories of the Algonquin nation. In my work, I provide a trauma-informed space for people to unpack their stories, so that together we can create individualized, holistic plans of care.

I practice from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive framework and specialize in locating individual struggle within the larger picture of peoples’ lives and society. My aim is to not only support individuals during the time we work together, but to co-create tools of mental wellness that they can engage with for the rest of their lives.

My approach is client-centered, meaning that I am well-versed in a variety of approaches including CBT, EFT, Existential, Narrative, Art and mindfulness-based, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed and existentially-based methodologies, and utilize them to best fit my clients’ specific needs. I use these perspectives to guide men through various issues, such as depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I also have a Masters and undergrad in Religious Studies, which has allowed me to travel and study with a number of spiritual leaders within Christian, Indigenous, Buddhist and Muslim communities and can incorporate this experience and wisdom into a session if the client so desires.

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.

Years in practice: 10

I favour a holistic, integrative approach, tailored to meet your individual needs. Drawing on various modalities including mindfulness, CBT and ACT, we build on your strengths and resilience rather than focusing on pathology or diagnoses. Together, we identify thought and behaviour patterns no longer serving you, helping you to change and heal. I am sensitive to the fact that problems clients bring might have a spiritual dimension and remain open to working with your personal meanings. I enjoy working with clients and consider it a privilege to be able to accompany them on their journeys of self-discovery and healing.

Now welcoming new clients in Ontario! I provide virtual therapy for people who feel like they’re constantly holding it together on the outside, but inside it’s a different story. Whether it’s anger catching you off guard, tension in your relationships, sadness that lingers, or stress that’s hard to shake, you don’t have to figure it out alone. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens when we feel seen, heard, and accepted.

If you’re curious about working together, I offer a free 30-minute consultation so we can connect and see if it feels like a good fit. You can book an appointment directly through my website.

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.

I hear you. I believe in you. I care. I believe therapy is beneficial because it allows people to share their stories in an environment that is safe and considers their unique needs. I strive to validate people’s emotions (because they are understandable), to highlight their strengths (because sometimes people can’t see them) and to build hope (because it can be restored). My approach draws from the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centred techniques amongst others. I aim to help people better understand emotions, process difficult experiences, address unhelpful behaviours and work towards the life they want.
