Are you experiencing feelings of confusion or a sense of being stuck or lost? Do you find it difficult to connect with yourself or others in healthy ways? Perhaps you have a hard time feeling and connecting to your emotions? Being human is a challenging endeavour made more difficult by past unresolved trauma, unmet developmental needs, and a world that does not foster connection or awareness.

Feeling stressed, angry, fearful, and/or sad is what most of us go through. This is not bad because it clarifies what you desire deep down. But if you continue to feel these emotions, they become real issues that make you feel defeated, beat up, and exhausted. "Be positive" doesn't always work. But there are ways to feel better. You can learn exactly how our mind and body work which can give you back control and autonomy. My counseling goal is to support you in realizing and believing you have all the power to overcome anything. My approach is heart-centered. Thank you for the opportunity to be your support.

“Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional”. This wisdom reflects my approach to therapy. You can’t prevent storms from happening, you can hardly stop others from hurting you, and you may never get rid of your inner critic’s voice entirely. There's no way to erase the memories of past traumas. Yet, there surely is a way to lessen the burden, to ease the struggle, to change your relationship with others and - most importantly - with Self. Discover your way to cease the unnecessary suffering and reclaim balance and joy. How?

Male mental health challenges such as depression, relationship conflict and anxiety are not that much different than women's. These challenges can hold us in place, in fear, in hopelessness, in pain. Confronting behaviours, thinking and feelings that may be the root of a life not lived well takes courage. Sometimes we need help doing that to move us forward and improve the quality of our life. You may be struggling on your own or in a relationship. It doesn't matter neither place feels good. My intent is to help you navigate the obstacles and make sense of your story so you can get to where you want to be sooner.

Accepting new clients! This is definitely not what you expected. You may have thought that everything would fall perfectly into place, that becoming or being a parent would be the most natural thing in the world. Now, you’re finding that the fears, the anxiety, the self-doubt, the grief over your old life, or the disconnection from your partner are ruling your mind. You might be having a tough time sleeping, noticing some scary thoughts popping up, and just getting through each day is a trial. You wonder if you’re really connecting with your partner or your child(ren). You might be wondering who you even are these days.
