I believe that all people harbour significant potential for intimacy and compassion towards themselves and others. Grief, betrayal, trauma, stress, and abuse are becoming part of everyday reality. Without support, they may lead to helplessness, depression, anxiety, addictions, or unhelpful coping strategies that inhibit their true potential. Over the past two decades of my professional career and my training in psychotherapy, I learned that the best path forward comes from within. Healing becomes within reach with the help of a trained professional and confidant who can listen, relate, and gently guide you as you navigate forward.

Life is not always the same and there are moments when things are not going as we wish, like or expected, so that´s when asking for help is a good way to go through it and move forward with our goals. La vida nunca es igual y hay momentos en que las cosas no van como esperábamos y es justo cuando pedir ayuda es una buena manera de avanzar hacia nuestras metas.

I focus heavily on your individual values and helping you discover a meaning-centered life. I believe that therapies and the therapeutic relationship are as unique as the individual, while one style may suit you, it may not suit others. I am mindful of each individual who walks through the door.

Welcome. Good mental health is essential to a happy life. It affects the depth and quality of all our relationships. It allows us to love our lives and the people closest to us deeply. Living life with a sense of purpose and meaning is essential. Sometimes, things can get in the way, and we have trouble getting around them. There is a way to get past almost anything. With effort and determination, I have witnessed some fantastic breakthroughs and life changes. If you're willing, a better life awaits.

Over the last 45 years, I have used psychotherapy coupled with a philosophical lens to help one examine one's life in the world - be it family, work, relationship contexts and other of Life's stresses. Most of these involve 'dilemmas' of some sort which can challenge our belief and value system. Counselling is a 'therapeutic conversation' quite personal, sacred and confidential. It is about finding 'meaning' amongst uncertainty and absurdity. Therapists are 'enlightened witnesses' to help clients navigate through these dilemmas in order to achieve a goal, a hope, or an aspiration.

I specialize in helping people who are struggling with addiction issues and/or anxiety and mood disorders. I really enjoy working with ‘stuck’ clients. Those people who know they want or need change but aren’t sure how to get there. You are not broken, and you do not need to be fixed. You might be feeling a little lost though. Let me serve as a guide to walk with you and show you some possible ways out. You don't need to commit to any long term therapy or all the 'what ifs' at this point. All you need to do is reach out and make that first connection. Let's have a conversation about what's going on.

I believe that clients deserve to be heard and understood as individuals, and that treatment should be flexibly tailored to meet their needs and goals. Rather than adopting a “one size fits all” approach to therapy, clients who choose to work with me will find that I create a highly collaborative therapeutic environment where they can learn customized strategies for addressing life's challenges, promoting personal growth, and enhancing well-being. I enjoy working with adults, couples and adolescents looking for guidance and support with their goals.

Are you tired of sleeping on the couch? Fed up with all the arguing? Feeling dismissed and lack of connection? Are you questioning whether you are wanting something from your relationship that isn't realistic? What is it that you do want? To be heard, taken serious, being able to argue without the personal attacks, to resolve issues and move past them, to trust and be trusted. Is this right? You want a relationship that is give and take, that is built on respect, trust and love. You want a partner that hears you, understands you and wants to grow with you.

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.
