***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** It’s a privilege and honour to be doing this work, and to walk alongside clients on their respective healing journeys. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives and life experiences. By working collaboratively and through meaning-making, I aim to support clients in connecting with their needs, dreams, hopes, as well as to the answers I believe each person has inside them. My approach is trauma-informed, non-directive, strength-based, and client-centered. Healing, the discovery of possibilities, one’s resilience, and one's gifts can all be part of the therapy process.

I believe each of us is doing the best we can in life, given the tools we have. However, when life gets overwhelming, we may feel stuck and wish things were different—it might be easy to focus on what needs to change, yet we may feel unable to make changes. As a therapist, I help clients add to their toolkit, equipping them to manage challenges while also empowering them to recognize and access the strengths already within them. I believe each person is resilient and can grow and thrive, even if they need help along the way. Reaching out is the first (and often hardest) step, and I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

Our ideal clients are individuals and couples seeking growth and transformation. They aim to balance polarity in their relationships. They seek deeper connections, healthier communication, and stronger intimacy. Some choose unconventional paths in family autonomy and medical decisions, challenging societal norms while respecting diverse views. They yearn for guidance to evolve together and show up differently in their lives and relationships.

In order to work effectively on something, we must know its root and nature. I believe that half the battle is truly understanding why our struggles are occurring in the first place. Once we know the root of the concern and the thoughts, feelings, experiences, and ideas that reinforce its existence, we can then begin to dismantle its power—brick by brick. I believe in holding space for people to tell their stories and explore parts of themselves they may have never before felt safe to share with others. It is through this brave process of standing face-to-face with every part of who we are that we can decide who we would like to be.

Reaching out for therapy is a bold and transformative decision, and I’m here to make sure you feel supported every step of the way. My journey as a therapist is rooted in my own experiences of burnout and loss—hitting a point where I felt unheard and unseen in the corporate world, and realizing I needed to find my voice again. It’s this personal journey that drives my passion to help others navigate their own challenges and discover new possibilities.

I believe that challenges can be beautiful, albeit deeply painful, opportunities to create a life you feel inspired to live There is hope in every situation, and often life’s greatest lessons are learned during its biggest obstacles. Life's not always easy. Hardships and transitions can blindside you and leave you feeling like you’re just trying to survive, and on autopilot. And then the questions come: Who am I? How did I get here? The life you have doesn’t reflect the one you imagined. While we can not change the past, we can choose to create meaning in our experiences, and determine how its legacy comes forward with us.

I believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. I have helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As a relational therapist, I appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. I do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, I see my clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. I see strengths and I see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

I often tell my clients that what they hear from me will be counter cultural. It is counter cultural in the sense that I talk about self-acceptance and worth regardless of size. I believe hope exists even when you can't see it, that mental health issues are not a sign of weakness and that I practice in a way that believes in change.

Stuck? Lost? Broken? Disconnected? Powerless? Hopeless? Many men wait too long to seek help for the challenges they face. You may not feel safe talking with others, particularly if you have experienced trauma, abuse, anxiety, addition, grief, or shame. Often, even those they are closest to you may understand or know the depth of your pain. You may feel that you are burdening others with your problems, and may have tried to solve your issues on your own, often leading deeper struggles and, at times, greater loss and pain. Tired of suffering? Book a free 20-minute consultation. No waitlist. Get started with a free consultation today.

Life Changes Therapy: Are you or someone you are caring for facing a situation that is causing you stress, worry or sadness? Facing a health challenge or making a significant life transition can feel overwhelming leading you to worry how you are going to face the future. If you are a caregiver/partner, you may lack energy or time for yourself making you feel irritable, frustrated, angry or guilty. You may think, "I can't do this, I'm not handling this well" causing you to overthink and ruminate which might affect your sleep at night. You may struggle finding meaning and purpose and don't know who to talk to.

Within each of us lies the vision and hope for the life we want to live. Yet, we can feel overwhelmed by inner or outer challenges, fears, negative beliefs, low self-esteem, anxiety or depression. In many years of practice, I have seen the resilience of the human spirit. As a Spiritual Psychotherapist, I work with traditional approaches, as well as those rooted in Transpersonal Psychology, Archetypal Psychology and Shamanism which recognize the power and strength inherent within to facilitate change. My aim is to act as guide as clients address past pain and present circumstances that limit the ability to live a life in full bloom.
