I work with men experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and feeling stuck or disconnected in life.
Many men struggle to identify, process, and express deep emotions in safe, constructive ways. We delay seeking help, hide pain in unhelpful habits, and isolate when relationships break down. This pressure affects us and the people we care about. It can become a self-defeating cycle, but it’s one you can break. These emotions can feel massive or wrong, but they’re normal. You’re not broken. You're not alone.

Maybe you’re tired of repeating the same arguments, feeling anxious, or letting old wounds control your present.
My approach is warm, honest, and practical. Together we’ll slow things down, explore the emotions and patterns that keep you stuck, and create new ways to cope and connect. Clients often say they feel both supported and gently challenged, which allows them to grow in meaningful ways.

Emotional pain often brings a deep sense of vulnerability, accompanied by a desire for relief and understanding. During these moments, life can feel completely overwhelming, and the loneliness that is so often experienced only intensifies the pain. Seeking support is not a sign of weakness but a powerful acknowledgment that we are not meant to face life’s difficulties on our own. Accepting help from others, both giving and receiving, is a law of nature.

I have a particular interest in working with people navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, identity, and life transitions — including veterans, wprkcover, CTP, LGBTQ+ clients, and people who've just found themselves at an unexpected crossroads.
I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. But more importantly, I tailor our work to you, because everyone brings their own history, personality, and pace. I also lean into the real-life, human parts of therapy, the stuff you won't always find in textbooks, to make sure our sessions feel meaningful and practical.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
