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.

Do you feel like you’re never good enough, or that you have to please others? Do you wish you could put yourself first more often, and make your wants and needs a priority? Do you struggle with confidence or self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and low-mood? Have you experienced trauma that follows you around? Would you like a better understanding of your behaviours in general, or in friendships and relationships? Together we can look at exploring the strengths, relationships, and experiences that have got you to this point, and move forward in a way that reconnects you with yourself and your goals. My areas of interest are mood (anxiety, stress, depression), self-esteem, Trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, and life transitions.

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.

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.
