I’m a trauma informed psychodynamic Registered Psychotherapist. For many of us, emotions can be frightening and overwhelming, hard to connect to and identify. I work with clients to explore the emotions that were created in traumatizing situations. Each traumatized part has an emotional life of its own.

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.

My career as a therapist started as a career in theatre and film due to my love of narrative and storytelling. Over time, I became more interested in how the stories we believe about ourselves shape how we live our lives. I use scientifically supported treatments like CBT to explore these stories and see how helpful or not they are. Of course, we often already know that something isn't working, but it can be hard to believe anything different. To that end, our sessions usually include seeking out new experiences to develop new perspectives. My clients tell me they're surprised by how much more they can do than they first thought.

Change is difficult and it is hard to take the first step in seeking out therapy support. I know it takes courage to start the process. Most people I see want to feel better about themselves, less anxious, happier, more content. They often want some help for their kids or teens or for the family as a whole. When you start therapy with me, we focus on what you would like to be different in your life, what a small step towards your hopes would look like. We connect to that hope, because hope is what keeps us going. We also work to connect to your inner resiliency, your ability to bounce back.

Carrying around the weight and impacts of trauma, negative self-talk, and heavy suppressed emotions can be physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausting. Having someone actively listen without placing blame, shame, guilt, or judgment can be the support needed when you're struggling to cope. Taking the first step towards healing and returning to yourself is acknowledging that you don't have to carry the weight alone. It would be an honour to join you on your journey towards self-discovery, healing and wellness by shining light on the power of your vulnerability, resiliency, and strengths.

Yes, you can learn helpful ways to cope with life’s stressful experiences. Yes, it’s also possible to overcome your trauma. Personally, I know what it's like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, burnt out, wanting the support to change but not knowing where to start or who to turn to. Anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, PTSD, and even ADHD can all result from trauma, and they're clear signs that it’s time for you to do something to change but it’s hard to do it on your own. If you’re tired of trying to figure it out yourself then let me help you. Let's work together to develop healthier coping, process your trauma and finally feel better.

As humans we have a deep need to find connection. One of the most challenging things we can face is difficulty being seen and building relationship . Our routes to connection are forged in the relationships we first learn from, early in our lives. Finding our way through what that means for our current reality can be hard to do alone. Together we will explore what came before and what may be next, without losing sight of life now. Sometimes this means sitting in the muck with you; with the trauma, or the depression or the anxiety, and finding a way through; building new pathways of relationship and of being in the world.
