Take a deep breath, pour a cup of tea, keep it real. I am here to help you slow down, connect with yourself, and trust your intuitive wisdom. I work from a holistic perspective and I believe that relationality is essential to our well-being. That's why I show up to our time together just as you show up — fully human. I invite genuine connection, creativity, and the full range of emotion within our therapeutic relationship. This means your humour, tears, and dance moves are always welcome. My focus in session is to be present, curious, and courageous with you as we build relationship, embody emotions, and work with your stories.

Coming to therapy can be uncomfortable, especially for men. We're rarely taught how to talk about our feelings, or that it's even acceptable to share them. Whether as individuals, or as part of a couple, I provide an environment where you can talk openly, without shame or embarrassment. When working with couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners improve their connection. I ensure that both partners feel safe, acknowledging that it's often male partners who feel the most vulnerable in therapy.

I believe that psychology is a tool for solving problems and working through change. In my career, I have helped many people 'get unstuck', overcoming emotional difficulties and working through trauma, grief, and loss. I also regularly work with couples and families, helping with challenges including marital conflict and parenting difficulties. My approach is integrative, and tailored to each person that I meet. I draw upon a number of evidenced-based approaches, including emotion-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, experiential therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.
