Sometimes you might feel it is so difficult to share your struggles with anyone, even with loved ones; Or perhaps the worries and concerns about things happening in your mind are beyond your ability to cope with them. You might have experienced lack of motivation to even greet the day when the alarm clock goes off in the morning.

Utilizing evidence-based practices we will work to manage emotions and communication patterns that could be negatively impacting ourselves and our relationships.
We can sometimes feel alone in our struggles. We may be asking if we are the problem in these situations as our needs are consistently not being met in our life circumstances. In session with me, I take on a holistic approach to your life. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to openly discuss what you are going through and the goals/dreams that you wish to move closer to attaining. I often consider myself like a coach on a team. I will always be in your corner cheering you on, but that doesn't mean that I am not going to help push you towards the goals that you set for yourself.

I'd love to be able to support and work with you to help you create the changes you wish to in your life. Outside of private practice, I work at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

I offer assessment, therapy, and consultation services to adults and couples contending with a range of challenges related to adjustment to significant life events and transitions, anxiety, depression, end-of-life considerations, grief and loss, interpersonal difficulties, post-traumatic stress, and treatment adherence. While I emphasize an experiential (i.e., emotion-focused, mindfulness-based) approach to therapy, integrated within interpersonal and systems frameworks, I am also able to draw on cognitive-behavioural techniques.

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.
