I work with a variety of clients including neurodivergent children, adolescents, adults, and the families who care for them, as well as people navigating life transitions, new parenthood, and perinatal mental health. Many come feeling unseen, or exhausted from trying to explain themselves in spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I bring my own neurodivergent lived experience alongside my clinical training, and I approach every person with genuine curiosity, warmth, and care.

Men and boys need to look after their mental health as much as women and girls, yet we are far less likely to seek help. We often push on in silence. You might feel a pit of sadness that never goes away, or you might have worries that eat away at you. Perhaps your anger gets out of control and leads to regrettable decisions, or maybe you have forced yourself to wear a mask and to look okay while there is turmoil beneath the surface.
After many years of working with males in mental health I know how to help guys move beyond that uncomfortable first step comfortably and on to the road towards improvement.

If you're struggling with shame, anxiety, or existential concerns related to your religious background (whether you have left your religious community or are still happily a part of it), I'm here to help you move forward.

My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive space to explore, deconstruct, and create new understandings that feel true to who you are.

You may be seeking support through individual therapy or by joining a small supportive group where you can feel safe, understood, and accepted.

You may also be neurodivergent—living with ADHD, autism, OCD, or dyslexia—or navigating anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder and feeling misunderstood or exhausted from trying to meet expectations that do not align with who you truly are and needing a safe and confidential place.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
