I am happy to work with an extensive range of clients and organize my practice around providing Client-Centred Therapy grounded in empirically-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I have lived experience as a first responder and am passionate about addressing the unique challenges associated with fulfilling such roles. In my experience working with people over the last 10 years, I've found that often their challenges are best addressed first and foremost by being heard; this act of listening is a gift that unlocks the resources hidden within.

If you are in the process of seeking counseling, I suspect it can be for any number of reasons or combination of reasons (stress, mood issues, current or historic family issues, past or current trauma, job related issues, personality conflicts, self esteem issues, simply wanting perspective in life, all sorts of other issues that would generally contribute to one simply feeling discontent or unhappy in life). During times like these, it is often helpful to have a person that is dedicated to helping you explore these issues in a caring and collaborative manner and in a manner based on experience and evidence based practice.

As a man, emotions and sharing them often create barriers for relationships with others and with ourselves. Support around emotional awareness for men is important to help build a better connection with all aspects of our lives. Being able to share and communicate who we "really" are is vital to a fulfilling life. I help men deal with emotional awareness.

Are you caught in a repetitive cycle? Do you think about change often, but can't seem to make the changes you desperately want to? If you struggle to understand why you do the things you do, you might be feeling frustrated and confused and searching for answers that will finally make a difference. Addictions, eating disorders and other harmful behaviors serve as invitations to delve deeper into the layers of ourselves that are asking for healing and attention. Maybe these are unprocessed experiences from early-on, or current stresses and challenges. I believe that recovery is possible and available to all.

Is reality therapy evidence-based?
Reality therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioural or acceptance and commitment therapies. However, some research does indicate that reality therapy might be helpful for people with addiction, and may be effective in treating social anxiety in young people.
How long does reality therapy last?
Reality therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Reality therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of reality therapy long after treatment has ended.
Does reality therapy work?
Reality therapy can help a person manage concerns such as eating disorders, addiction, substance use, anxiety, phobias, and relationship difficulties. This type of therapy encourages a person to be accountable for their behaviours. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure. Reality therapy can be useful in one-on-one therapy or in group sessions. This method may be used with children, families, and adults.
What are the limitations of reality therapy?
This therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the therapist focuses on choices made by the individual in the present day. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over others. This format may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every client.
