As your therapist, I am committed to helping kids and adults build resiliency against trauma and severe stress. When you are looking for resolution from arguments that just keep happening, we will build on moments of healthy communication. If you are feeling overwhelmed and it's affecting your sleep, eating, life enjoyment, mood, and energy, we will find realistic changes to reduce stress and promote peace. Just when you are struggling with emotions that may be too big or have stopped feeling at all, we will ground you firmly in the present while we work through the causes at your own pace.

Tired of your cycle? Are you wrestling in your relationships or tired of fighting the same fights? Are you weighed down by shame or carry the weight of your past? Do you subtly ask your partner "are you there for me?" and are afraid they wouldn't say yes? Do you carry your past around like luggage, feeling the weight of unhealed trauma, religious shame, relationship struggles, difficulties in sex or not being able to trust loved ones anymore? My best work is with those struggling with always being too much or never being enough and as a result not feeling respected or cherished the way they long for.

Cold Lake, AB T9M
I am a therapist and previous medical doctor who is passionate about the messy and beautiful parts of being human. I believe that we live in a world that constantly (and effectively) tries to tell us who and what we should be, which often leads us to try to fit in. This can create a considerable amount of conflict, and possibly trauma, within us that can lead to mental health challenges and takes us further from what we desperately crave – belonging, connection, and authenticity. As your therapist, I hope to provide a safe non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feel your way through your journey to wellness.

Male Counsellors
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.
