Now more than ever, men are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to navigate financial strain, relationship tension, and shifting expectations of masculinity.
At Riverstone Counselling, I offer a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. You can talk openly, set the pace, be heard, and begin to reconnect with your values, your strength, and your sense of self.
Working with men is my passion – so much so that I did my PhD focusing on men’s well-being, masculinity, and healthy relationships. I’d love to share what I’ve learned and walk with you. Let’s get started, shoot me an email or book a free, 15-minute consultation on my website.

I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with over 8 years of experience working in child welfare and healthcare settings. My passion lies in working with children and families, immigrants, and individuals facing mental and physical health challenges. I draw from various therapeutic models, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. By utilizing these approaches, I aim to provide client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed care, tailored to your unique needs.

Struggling with your sleep? You lay awake, for what feels like hours, only to fall asleep in short fits, punctuated by waking up in the middle of the night, just to try it all over again. Maybe you’ve tried pharmaceutical or over-the-counter strategies with mixed results. Thankfully, there is a substance-free way to treat sleep disorders and issues.
Our psychotherapeutic work will focus on applying the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi) to your particular situation. It’s not easy, but it gets results; with remission rates surpassing those seen in other disorders. Piqued your interest? Maybe your minds telling you it won’t work for you? Let’s chat about it over a consultation to figure out a path forward.

Accepting NEW Clients – Are you looking for support in navigating anxious thoughts or feelings, or what feels like a dark cloud following you around? Are you tired of feeling like you’re not enough? Is a new life change causing stress or needing exploring? Do you feel burdened by obsessive thinking, or difficulties with food and body image? Are there relationships in your life that you’d like to explore, or better understand how you feel when around others? Are you simply hoping to build self-awareness or coping strategies?
It’s normal if reaching out feels scary. I’ve worked with individuals in public, athletics, and private health settings, and i’m looking forward to connecting with you.

Accepting NEW Clients (Individuals and Couples) – Are you feeling “stuck” in life and you’re looking for a way to better understand the steps forward? Have you heard of EMDR and you want to learn more about working through trauma and its impacts on your life? Is anxiety, stress, or low mood something you want to explore and learn strategies to cope differently? Are you a couple looking to work through infidelity, sexuality, or just simply want the skills to better communicate and understand each other?
I work with individuals and couples, where I also consider the impact of trauma and culture in the issues you’re looking to be supported with.

I work with men who are tired of holding it all in—overthinking everything, feeling pressure to always perform, or just feeling emotionally shut down. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you show up.
Therapy with me gives you space to slow down, actually hear yourself think, and get to the bottom of what’s going on.
I draw from approaches like CBT, ACT, EFT, and IFS—but I keep it practical and focused.
Together, we make sense of what’s driving your stress, patterns, and reactions—and build real strategies to help you take action. The goal is for you to feel more in control, make clearer decisions, and move through life with more confidence and direction.

Through my work, I realized how much pressure people experienced in their day-to-day lives and the effects this had on their relationship with themselves and others. Through my therapeutic work, I observed the consequences of society placing such a strong emphasis on perfectionism, a hyper-vigilance on “fixing” oneself, and external merit. Seeing adults, teens, and children struggling to understand their identity, self-worth, and values motivated me to gain expertise in various therapeutic modalities. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, and trauma, self-worth, identity, and relationships, and narrative as well as mindfulness approaches.
