In Person Therapists in Central Toronto, Toronto, ON

Are you struggling with low mood, anxiety, or relationship issues? Do you feel stuck, or trapped in patterns that leave you unhappy? I can help you find a way forward and gradually let go of limiting thought and behaviour patterns. As a gay man, I understand how identity and discrimination can also impact mental health. I'm a registered social worker and psychotherapist who has supported clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, sexuality and gender concerns, and other life issues. Trained in CBT, DBT, EFT, and mindfulness, I use an integrative approach with clients based on what you bring to session.

How you connect with your therapist will be the most important factor in determining how you make progress in therapy. This bond and comfort to share personal information should start to build from the first meeting. With that in mind, I will provide a supportive, non-judgemental environment from which you can explore what is important to you. I have extensive training and experience (12 years counsellor; 9 years social worker, in hospitals, community settings and private practice) providing effective treatment for adult individuals, couples, groups, and supervising other therapists.

It feels as if your negative experience is stuck to your brain like a barnacle on a ship. You try not to think about it but every day there’s something that reminds you of what happened. You find yourself ruminating in the shower and becoming irritated or overwhelmed by minor inconveniences. You feel anxious, sad, angry, and distressed. Maybe you’re even experiencing physical symptoms. You wish you could simply “let it go” but you just… can’t. The ghosts of your past have robbed you of your present and you’re terrified that they’ll steal your future as well.

I am dedicated to providing a safe and non-judgmental space. I utilize a warm and compassionate approach to counseling in an effort to foster healing and resilience. I am here to collaborate with you and build a strong alliance. My areas of focus are mental well-being, coping with medical/health conditions, grief, pet bereavement, and hoarding. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families to address well-being. I particularly enjoy couple work, so please do reach out if you and your partner are interested.

Through a strong empathic connection, we will work to help you reach your goals. My hope is that our therapeutic process will give you tangible skills and result in concrete improvements in your life. I believe you know what is most important and through working together, you will build a path that is right for you. “Fit” is also critical for our work together, so I offer a free phone consultation to help you determine if I would be the right fit for you. Initial consultations can be booked by email or directly through my website link.

I provide therapy sessions online and in person in my office in Midtown Toronto, and usually support immigrants and newcomers to Canada who are dealing with depression and anxiety, traumatic experiences, high stress level, life-transitioning situations such as dealing with break ups, career changes, moving to a new country, and adjusting to a new environment.

Are you struggling to cope with experiences of trauma or abuse? I provide a safe and warm environment to support you to uncover and address the symptoms of your trauma, such as emotional distress, intrusive memories or flashbacks, harmful behaviours and unhealthy relationship patterns. I will help you to establish safety and stabilization in your body, environment and emotions and, in time, come to terms with your experience. I also offer psycho-educational therapeutic support to individuals who have used abuse towards their intimate partners around the development of insight, accountability and behavioural change.
