My ideal client is an older man, particularly from Generation X, who has carried the burden of trauma and pain in silence due to societal expectations of being the "alpha male" and adhering to the belief that "boys don't cry." He seeks healing from the long-term impact of suppressed emotions and unresolved childhood sexual abuse. Additionally, I focus on LGBTQI+ individuals, especially those who, from a young age, struggled with marginalization and rejection because their identities did not align with traditional societal norms. They need support to process and embrace their authentic selves.

For me, therapy is not only one thing but many different things. I believe that therapy is a sacred space. A space that holds both pain and growth. A learning space, a teaching space. A space where we get to better understand ourselves and a space of freedom. Freedom to experience, express and explore the most vulnerable parts of ourselves free of judgement and instruction. A space that, at times can be challenging but brings with it an opportunity for change. In a world filled with expectations and demands, this is a space of acceptance, where being yourself, just as you are, is good enough.

Many people I meet are seeking meaningful connection; they yearn to be listened to, fully seen and understood for who they truly are. They need to belong. I believe that if we all stood in a circle and held hands, each of us could take a little love from the person on their right, absorb what they need and pass the remainder on, to the person on their left. Is this not our role on the planet - to nourish and uplift one another as best we can?

I have 27 years experience in child and family care. It is really important for me to help families who experience issues and are desperate and often can't find solutions to their problems. When a problem can be identified, a solution can be identified to work toward. When the problem can be addressed effectively within the family, it can improve the overall communication and conflict within the family.

My journey as a Psychologist has evolved and grown throughout the years and has been in parallel with my own personal journey. While I have helped countless individuals and families, I have taken away many lessons and experiences from them as well. The most important component that has remained in this process has been the importance for me to continue to provide a safe space where individuals feel heard and listened to. Where for just one hour per week anyone can unpack and wade through muddy waters of emotions, pain and challenges to eventually be able to take the tools acquired in therapy and apply them in the future.
