You may want support dealing with a recent or ongoing traumatic experience, a safe place to discuss your childhood, or help in understanding and changing harmful behaviours. Perhaps, you’re a man and want to discuss male specific issues. I support clients working through difficult emotions, gaining insight into past experiences, implementing coping mechanisms, and rebuilding a sense of safety and self-identity. I’m a Clinical MSW student practicing under professional supervision, and I work with children, teens, and adults.
I primarily focus on trauma, men’s mental health, and gender based violence. However, I also support those navigating a range of challenges including coping with life transitions, burnout, substance use, relationship difficulties, job stress, mental health struggles, intimacy issues, and managing anger.
I view each client as a unique individual, and I tailor therapy to meet your specific needs. My approach is warm, welcoming, and relaxed. I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for you. Please reach out and schedule your first appointment today.
