I’m a fortunate man, really enjoying my life and my work. I am well, and I remember not being well; anxious, depressed, traumatized and clinically diagnosed with various psychiatric ailments. Life threw me some awful curves and I’ve experienced the therapy world as a client for many hundreds of hours in several of its forms. I have acted badly and I apologize to those I’ve hurt. I won’t indulge my humility here but I’ll be open if you ask. My practice is built in part on my personal experiences of suffering, change, and growth. I am a Registered Psychotherapist in the Province of Ontario.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed and exhausted from trying to have it all figured out? You find yourself stuck over-comparing, over-thinking and over-doing. People-pleasing feels like second nature. Imposter syndrome is plaguing your system and you find yourself riddled with self-doubt. “Am I doing enough?” “Will I ever succeed?” “I feel like a fraud!” The next step always feels daunting because your mind is on overdrive with to-do lists and self-limiting beliefs. Maybe you find yourself over-analyzing situations, outcomes, or things that haven’t even happened. It’s difficult to set boundaries, and you are feeling disconnected.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a focus on supporting individuals living with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and substance use concerns. After becoming a mother myself, my passion shifted towards perinatal (mental health from pregnancy to postpartum) concerns. I am currently registered as a Perinatal Mental Health therapist with Postpartum Support International. I work with mothers/parents to understand the changes that becoming a parent brings, challenge societal beliefs and expectations, and explore their new identity as a parent.
