It's okay not to feel okay. If you grew up in a damaging environment, you had to develop ingenious ways of surviving. Enduring your childhood is proof of your strength and resilience. However, you're no longer that child and feel just surviving isn't enough, but the past won't let you move on—your suffering is not your fault. What helped you in the past may now be hindering your growth. It's time to rewrite your narrative. Join me, and together, we will give voice to the parts of you that have been shamed, hidden, and denied. We can't undo the past's grave injustices, but we can take away their power.

Life is too short to be lived on autopilot. Intentional living for what matters can take your life from "same old, same old," to one in alignment with your values and aspirations.

One who’s got a treasure trove of life hacks, insights, and strategies to share. My approach is to empower, not to tell you what to do. My role is to equip you with tools and ideas that will give you more options, and more opportunities to shape the life you want. Together we’ll cultivate a mindset that’s all about growth.

Life can challenge us in ways that leave us feeling overwhelmed and in emotional pain. Sometimes we need help to get back on track. Counselling is an opportunity to feel safe, respected, heard and appreciated for who you really are. It is a place to get perspective on your life, learn coping skills and to explore solutions that work for you.

Just like I once did, many people struggle with booking a therapy session.
Still today, there can be a great deal of negative stigma associated with mental health struggles and that can make it difficult for people to seek therapy or know where to start. I was inspired by a close friend years ago to seek therapy even though I was so reluctant. I chose counselling as a profession because I want to provide the same safe, non-judgmental relationship for my clients that helped me to break down that stigma in my own therapy experience. The clients I work with are ready to do explore and do the work to gain a better understanding of their struggles and move forward with better tools for managing them.

I use a range of techniques to support our work together: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thought patterns, mindfulness practices to keep you grounded, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to manage intense emotions.
Do you feel like your emotions shift suddenly without warning? Do you find yourself at odds with your own thoughts and feelings, often engaging in self-sabotage, ending relationships impulsively, or struggling with a constant push and pull in your relationships with yourself and others? It can feel like an emotional rollercoaster—one you wish you could step off, only to find yourself back on the ride before you realize it. Together, we can get to the core of these experiences and uncover the underlying causes. Through our work, we’ll develop tools and skills to help you reshape your relationship with yourself and others.

I use techniques from many different modalities, including narrative therapy, emotion focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, existential therapy, and mindfulness, as I also have my own mindfulness practice.
Are you experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, or feelings of low self-esteem? Are you having trouble navigating your way through the loss of a loved one, a challenging relationship, or simply struggling to find meaning in your life? Many of us are knocked backwards by negative events that seem to unearth past hurts and make navigating our present and future more difficult. There are times when we need support and encouragement from outside of ourselves to help us navigate this inner world and push ourselves forward in our lives.

You want to work through stress, anxiety, and trauma. You feel stuck and out of options. You know life shouldn't feel this hard, but you can't figure out why you're triggered by the smallest things. You find yourself doing and saying things you're ashamed of, but don't know why you do them or how to stop. Your emotions feel too overwhelming or you feel completely numbed out. You’re at a breaking point and need a place to become grounded, where things can begin to make sense, and where you can heal and learn to live again.

I recognize that life is complex, and so are the issues we live with. Whether it be a significant change, like losing a loved one, or tension within a meaningful relationship, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless trying to find our way through these challenges. I believe that we have the solutions to solve our problems within us and, at times, this requires us to reach out for support to uncover the answers to overcome these problems. From there, we seek to understand how we can learn from these hard times to strengthen ourselves and our relationships and find meaning from our experiences.

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
