My goal is to help my clients arrive at a deeper understanding of their needs and motivations in work and in play, across the full spectrum of their relationships, and amid the confusion and turmoil of challenging situations. This is a process no one should have to go through alone. Having benefited from self-exploration with skillful and empathic mentors, I am privileged to rediscover the essence of this work in every new therapeutic engagement. The uniqueness of each individual calls for a disciplined mutual curiosity that allows for the constant emergence of fresh information and potentially transformative insight.

Are you struggling to maintain relationships? Maybe you feel disconnected, unable to get through the day without negative thought patterns. As a psychotherapist, I specialize in relational and childhood trauma. However, I work with individuals who have faced various life challenges; such as anxiety, depression, and attachment difficulties. Holding a queer identity and crisis counselling background, my therapeutic space is highlighted in inclusivity, incorporating anti-oppressive and strength-based frameworks to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to express your thoughts freely.

I have always been a big advocate of jumping into action and finding ways to address problems through concrete, focused strategies. I also honour the important need to foster compassion, validation and understanding as a foundation with my clients before this occurs. I am available to help adults presenting with a broad array of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, relationships and life purpose. I also have a specialized focus of helping clients with chronic pain, chronic illness and disability. I am honoured to take part in the change process with anyone who is open to doing deep personal work.

Perhaps you second-guess yourself, struggling with your own mental wellness, your relationships, or family stress. That’s a miserable way to live, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Even when things seem like they will never improve, know that you can create and experience a happier future for yourself. You deserve not only to feel better, but to wake up every morning ready to enjoy the day.

I work with people who, in spite of great difficulties, have not given up on finding meaning in their lives. I help them as they struggle with isolation, depression, anxiety, grief or early trauma. Some are trying their best to manage difficult relationships. Others are wondering about their orientation or identity--gendered, sexual, ethnic. Others still are planning the next meaningful transition in their lives.

Offering sessions in Russian and English, my main focus is relationships. I work by peeling apart narratives surrounding the issue, educating the couple on the specific tools I used, and how to apply them independently. For individuals, I offer a toolbox of various CBT, SFT, and Narrative Therapy methodology that we collaborate on fitting and applying. After closely exploring ones relational functioning - breakups, tough relationships and family situations, I proceed to focus on immediate needs, with the aim of boosting overall functioning. Lost after trauma, or hurting day after day - If these are your issues, I may be of service.

My practice involves co-creating a compassionate space for clients to explore why they might feel stressed, anxious, depressed or a loss of meaning in life. We all in some way, seek to bring relief and meaning to what we have gone through and the challenges we are currently facing. Often times our trauma can keep us in patterns that no longer serve us, hindering our connection to ourselves and others.

You deserve to be happy...and you don't need to struggle alone. Stress, worry, sadness, restlessness, frustration, anger, loss, or loneliness can all feel overwhelming at times...but care, connection, treatment, healing, and empowerment are all within reach. Within psychotherapy... insight, understanding, self-awareness, tools for coping, better functioning, and new ways of relating or behaving are all part of the process of change that you may be hoping for. Whether it be unresolved issues from the past or present circumstances and challenges, a safe, respectful, accepting, patient, and encouraging therapeutic space can be surprisingly rewarding, and make more of a difference than expected.

As a Black therapist with lived experience, I know first-hand the comfort derived from accessing a therapist who understands.

Welcome! My name is Andrew (he/him). I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) offering both one-on-one and group psychotherapy in Toronto/Tkaronto. I am comfortable conducting therapy both in-person and online, and have partnered with clients on the following issues: grief, low self-worth, complex PTSD, anxiety, cultural dislocation, relationship challenges, childhood sexual abuse, narcissistic parenting and/or parental neglect, substance use challenges, homophobia, transphobia and suicidal thoughts.

I work with people to identify their strengths and the actions that will move them forward, while exploring the feelings, thoughts, and ways of behaving that hurt them and hold them back. During my 40 years as a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and manager, including 25 years in addiction treatment, I’ve worked with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, drug and alcohol problems, abuse survivor issues, trauma, relationship problems, and difficulties developing a meaningful direction in their life. I’ve seen many people move from despair to excitement, and from feeling immobilized to taking control of their lives.
