Are you working through challenges, or seeking growth? Have your tried methods not been especially true? You may not have a coherent formulation of what you seek (especially for those new to therapy); part of my job is to help you reach those insights and feel hope or excitement for the change to come. If you're reticent, I welcome you to a commitment-free chat to get a better sense of the process. If you're ready and want to make a change, now is the time. My door is always open.

Oh hi. You know, I can imagine that he steps leading you here today involved some tough times. I know how difficult it is finding help, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotional, scared. Maybe things are going pretty well and you’re looking to grow. Either way, I think we all deserve every chance to improve ourselves, find ourselves in the one life we've been given here. That’s what I’m trying to do too. The only way I know how. Through listening, awareness, connection, and growth. I do this with folks who might need someone to help them navigate anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and trauma.

I offer individual and couples counselling for a variety of issues using a collaborative approach, within a judgement free environment. The majority of my experience revolves around using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness based approaches, and Existential Therapy. I am also most familiar with mental health issues regarding anxiety, depression, stress, postpartum issues, obsessive compulsive tendencies, and self-esteem.

It takes courage to ask for help! So you have been grappling with depression, anxiety, loneliness, or emptiness. Our modern world does not help us understand what it means to be human. We become overwhelmed by relationship challenges and moral dilemmas, feeling lost and lacking meaning. Most of my clients (including couples) are interested in exploring the more profound questions in life. I can offer you a neutral, receptive space to explore your consciousness and the felt-sense experience in your body using a trauma-informed and whole-person approach. The implications of trauma are immense: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

I have more than 17 thousand hours of direct client contact and decades of experience in the field. I am creative, compassionate, and resourceful and have created a "toolbox" of evidence-based methods to achieve positive and long-lasting change.

I provide a warm, non-judgmental, 2SLGBTQ+, and BIPOC safe space where people can be comfortable being their authentic selves as they share their stories.

I work with you to try to integrate the mind, body and soul. I believe these three elements of our being together heal and allow us all to work through our past or current trauma and they allow us to build our new future self. In my practice, the client drives the model that works for them, and my role as your therapist is to understand your objectives and support you in the direction to get there. A holistic sense of self is awareness on multiple levels, so a mind, body and soul exploration and transformation is crucial to understand and shift ourselves.

You have experienced life in a unique way that no one could understand better than you. I enjoy the challenge of understanding reality through the eyes of another.

As we grapple with your challenges truthfully, we may find new insights and ways to navigate life. Beyond labels, let us be curious about your relationships with yourself and the people around you. My approach is supportive and challenging, emphatic and direct. Let's work together to gain some insights that can help you to live and relate better with yourself and with the world.

In my practice, I help clients who feel disempowered by life’s challenges. Many are struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, assertiveness, relationship conflict, trauma, physical illness and spiritual crisis.

I will help connect the body and mind to deepen emotional exploration and to release any tension from the body. I will incorporate my client’s spiritual life in the therapeutic process to facilitate emotional healing and spiritual development.

Do you worry about the future? Are you experiencing relational difficulties & frustrations, and do you feel triggered by important others in your life? Do you cope by shutting down or avoidance, and end up feeling drained? Do you sometimes 'people please' or to achieve to feel a sense of self-worth and safety, and to avoid your feelings?

If you are interested in self-exploration, coping better, managing anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, ADHD or depression, we can help.

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

Sometimes we need assistance to improve our lives, change our behaviours, or adapt to life challenges. Let me help you to: reduce depression and anxiety; develop and improve relationships; resolve childhood trauma issues; build self-confidence; improve productivity at work; have the healthy and happy lifestyle you have always wanted; control your thoughts and emotions; make good decisions; find the energy and motivation to make changes in your life; grow and develop yourself into a more positive person; experience joy, inspiration, and peace of mind; create and follow through with your goals?

I believe everyone already holds the keys to their own healing; my role is to help you find and use those keys. Using a trauma-informed approach, I aim to empower and guide you toward becoming your own source of support and insight. Starting therapy takes courage, and I understand the hesitation some might feel about opening up, especially to a male therapist – it's a step that requires a lot of trust. However, I want to assure you that my practice is a place of warmth and non-judgment. Having faced my own mental health struggles, I connect deeply with those on a similar journey and I provide a calm, grounded presence in session.
