Are you suffering from narcissistic abuse and looking to heal your heart from it? Are you sick of always needing to meet others’ needs at the expense of your soul because of the way they always shame you if you don’t meet their de mands? If you already fully acknowledge that you currently are or have suffered from narcissistic abuse in your life, that is already a huge step towards your healed heart. A lot of the time, people who have experienced life-long narcissistic abuse have a very difficult time awakening to the reality of the fact that they are suffering from it. They are so used to the abuse that it becomes a norm to them.

In-person at Danforth and Broadview, or online. "My life is fine, why do I feel like this?" "Why does this keep happening?" "What is wrong with me?" Depression, addiction, anxiety, feeling stuck, loneliness, challenges around transitions and problems in relationships often point to complex or developmental trauma with no quick fix. I work with people who are ready for things to get better, but don't know where to start, or can't manage to make the desired changes. If you're reading this you can tell that something is wrong, but might not know where to start. The power to change is inside you waiting to be found.

But it is not the silver bullet for all hu man problems, and we will always use the treatment that works best for you.
If you're looking through these profiles, that means you're probably having a tough time right now. I hope you find the person that suits you best, and get the help you need. Therapy helped me out of a tough time, and I hope it can do the same for you. Life can be confusing, difficult, and traumatic. Even as we try our best, we find ourselves getting stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. My approach to helping is methodical and logical, but with empathy always at the core. Together, we'll be collaborating to understand those unhelpful patterns, to find your strengths, and to break them down so you can build the life you want.

I offer a person-centred/hu manistic approach, and work with existential themes.
We're all in this together. We all need someone to talk to, to confide in. We are social beings and connection is a vital element of healthy living. We can talk. Perhaps the big questions in life ("Why am I here?", "What's the point?", "What now?") might be keeping you up at night, or perhaps stress with relationships, work, or family feels overwhelming. The world is chaotic, it can all feel overwhelming, but you are stronger than you realize. Together, we can grow, adapt and learn to navigate all of this. I offer both in-person and online-therapy and have some spots left- reach out!

In my own life experience, I have learned two fundamental rules that support my work. First, I believe in the healing power of an authentic hu man connection and I prioritize the therapeutic relationship to create a safe, non-judgmental space for our work together. Second, through my travels and move from Italy to Canada, I learned that at the core of any life transition or challenge is a quest to focus our attention on our life stories and see ourselves as the active protagonists of these stories. I believe we are not called to this journey alone and there are times in our lives when we may need to reach out for help.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
