Male Therapists in Calgary, AB
I’m deeply invested in men’s mental health, addressing stigma and the unique challenges many men face.
Sometimes it can be difficult asking for help. Fears and anxieties can take over and allow us to feel like our voices do not deserve to be heard. I’m here to let you know that this is not true! You deserve to feel seen and listened to in a safe, non-judgemental environment. I believe in the power of empathy and active listening to foster meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental environment where individuals from all backgrounds may feel heard, supported, and empowered to navigate all of life’s challenges and intricacies. I want to hear your story and discover what makes you, YOU.

I'm here to help you uncover what's holding you back from experiencing true happiness and fulfillment.

However, therapy is catered to the individual and we can find a strategy that works best for you.

You may come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by undefined challenges, unsure where to start or how to even name what you’re going through. Maybe you feel lost in the array of therapeutic terms, wondering if labels like “childhood trauma” or “codependency” really apply to you. You’re likely seeking clarity on what you’re facing, practical steps to move forward, and a therapist who understands your unique path.

I have years of experience working with autistic communities and recognize that ND presentations can vary widely beyond male stereotypes (70%+ of the people I assess identify as women).
Looking for an adult autism assessment with a neurodivergent psychologist? Feeling dismissed by people who don’t understand medical trauma or how hard it is to stop masking? You have the right to feel accepted, heard, and believed—even during an assessment! I was “late-diagnosed” and understand how relieving a diagnosis can be after decades of feeling misunderstood and exhausted. My assessments are thorough and the options were entirely designed by autistic people, who I routinely work with to refine things. You can do the entire assessment from home and take the time you need. Do a FREE self-screen on my site here: www.ndpsych.com

Hair pulling and skin picking can be very challenging to manage independently - they are highly complex behaviours. Often these Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs) result in shame and guilt. They can be isolating and worrisome. You may feel alone, but you are not. I specialize in treating BFRBs. I also regularly work with clients who have anxiety, obsessions and compulsions (OCD), impulsivity, and individuals who lack confidence (work, studies, relationships). As a Clinical Psychologist (22 years), my approach will help you to experience positive change in the short-term, and learn how to sustain this change in the long-term.
