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.

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.

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.

I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication, sex, and identity. I look for patterns of behaviour that shape your life, where those patterns emerge from, and where you might like to try something different. 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.

For me, therapy is primarily about health, not illness. I believe that depression is a false story about who you believe you are. I work with men to help them discover the strong and capable person beneath the problems who is able to find a solid place in life. I have been a psychotherapist for 35 years and am eclectic and flexible in my approach to others according to their needs and abilities.

I have always been interested in what makes the world tick. After graduating from university I travelled, worked in a scrapyard, did furniture moving, courier delivery and worked as a driver for the disabled. I then followed this up with social service jobs in the YMCA and the government. However, I still felt unfulfilled in my search regarding life. And gradually it came to me: people, and what drives them, have created all of history. In this way I was led to my study of psychology, and my past 30 years in private practice have been a dream job.
