From the moment you start therapy with me, your old relationship is over.
Stop yearning for a deeper emotional connection, and instead achieve open and honest communication, and a renewed sense of trust and intimacy. If you envision a relationship where you both feel seen, heard, and understood, where conflicts are resolved with compassion and respect, we can help. The decision to seek help can bring up vulnerability and uncertainty about the future of your relationship. These feelings are valid and common; don't have to navigate these struggles alone.

I believe that individual experiences are what make us unique, thus "the relationship we have with ourselves sets the tone for every other relationship we have" (Jane Travis). I appreciate having the opportunity to support and work collaboratively with my clients, many of whom may be experiencing a diverse and/or complex array of concerns for their mental health needs and well-being. I strive to offer a safe and supportive environment where my clients can feel safe and secure in exploring their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I strive to ensure that my client's needs and preferences are met and will adapt my approach when needed.

I have previously worked as a researcher exploring relationship dynamics and negotiations in the context of sexual health and taught sexual health courses to medical students at Stanford University and UCSF, California.
I provide a safe space for couples and individuals to explore situations and emotions that might be causing distress. I do this by combining my training in human sexuality and psychotherapy. I want you to not only feel heard but also feel supported, understood, and empowered to improve the quality of your life and relationship(s). My approach to therapy is client-centred, holistic, and collaborative. I strive to explore solutions that work in your environment. Let’s connect for a 15-minute consult to discuss your therapy goals and start your journey toward growth and healing.

I have over 25 years of experience providing counselling and psychotherapy with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues/ sep/divorce, trauma, stress and anger, etc.
Sometimes we need someone to talk things through with so we don’t end up feeling stuck, overwhelmed or isolated. Trying to go it alone or ‘tough it out’ can lead to increased anxiety, depression and stress or other symptoms and behaviours that can cause additional challenges in our lives and relationships. Working together, we can find new ways for you to problem-solve, identify strengths, deepen self-awareness, manage feelings and reactions and tap into your inner wisdom to promote positive change and healing.

We're therapists who work with men to help deal with things like anger, infidelity, relationship issues and any other issues that men deal with.
Most men have been taught that we have to manage things by ourselves. To hide our feelings. Or men don't have feelings. Guess what that leads to? Anger, irritability, relationship issues, work problems, and trouble connecting with our kids, friends, and partners. Maybe drinking too much and checking out, too. Or cheating on our partner, because it's easier than trying to figure out what's going on at home. Maybe you don't even realize how bad things have gotten until your partner tells you that you "can't communicate", you're messing up, and now you have no idea what to do and you're defensive and confused.
