Existential Therapists in Oakville, ON

It takes courage to reach out for support when not knowing what to do. That can be quite a lonely and painful experience, together with feeling disconnected, stuck and overwhelmed.

I’m accepting new clients. If you want to ask some big questions, I can help. My areas of focus are addiction, trauma, burnout, and major life changes.
