If you are looking to explore issues within your current relationship, past traumas or memories that are causing distress, or just looking to explore your behavioural patterns and get to know yourself better, if compulsive sexual or relationships challenges are becoming more negatively impactful, please reach out and let's get to know one another.
Welcome! Like most of us, you are likely juggling work, family and other responsibilities. My goal as a therapist is not to keep you in therapy forever, but to help you overcome obstacles that are getting in the way of being the best version of you. The clients I work with live busy lives, both personally and professional and often either grappling with addiction, or are closely linked to someone that may be struggling. My hope is to assist you in discovering and naming these challenges, process and find closure around them, while working towards your transformation to be free of shame, distress and difficult memories.

Although my main focus is male mental health, I am adept at helping anyone or couples deal with depression, stress, anxiety, grief, conflict, and addictions.
**Accepting New Clients** I believe that the pain each man goes through is unique to his issues but is not dissimilar from the pain other men experience. Most men are taught about what feelings are acceptable to feel and in what situations it is acceptable to feel them. This can lead to men hearing phrases such as “toughen up”, “be strong” or “don’t cry”. Some men will say “I’m alright” when answering questions about their well being when they really aren’t “alright”. I believe such phrases and answers must be challenged. Every man deserves to be heard and have his feelings acknowledged. Together, we will work towards that goal.

My experience and training is primarily with adults--both individuals and couples--in the areas of Depression and Anxiety, Coping with Stress and Life Transitions, Trauma, Relationship Issues, and Grief and Loss.
Counselling is an opportunity for you to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours as you process through the difficult and sometimes painful things in life, be it coping with major life challenges or childhood trauma, dealing with mental health or addictions, working through grief and loss, or simply desiring greater personal awareness. Reaching out for support takes courage. I offer a safe, confidential and caring environment and will work collaboratively with you to fulfill your personal goals for therapy.
