Your at wit's end from being pulled thin in all directions. Perhaps no rest helps your exhaustion or grief. Big life changes are too confusing. Or you may have been recently diagnosed with ADHD — or you're starting to wonder if it's been there all along. Suddenly, years of burnout, overwhelm, and "why does this feel harder for me than everyone else?" start to make sense. You've pushed yourself to keep up. You've blamed yourself when systems didn't stick. And now you're exhausted. Even if ADHD isn't part of your story, you may feel chronically stressed, burned out, or unsettled by a life stage change that's harder than you expected.

I work with teens, parents, and families who are tired, stuck, overwhelmed, or carrying more than anyone can realistically hold for long. Many come when communication has broken down, stress has taken over, or relationships feel strained and unfamiliar. Others are navigating anxiety, identity shifts, big emotions, or life changes without clear direction. You don't need to arrive having sorted everything out first. My role is to offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can make sense of what you're carrying, reconnect with your strengths, and find steadier footing through life's changing tides.

Struggling with 'what-if' loops or upsetting intrusive thoughts that don’t feel like you? When anxiety makes you feel trapped by checking, overthinking, or rituals, it can be hard to know where to turn. I work with adults facing a wide range of OCD themes such as harm/responsibility, taboo thoughts, relationship doubts, or contamination. I also provide treatment for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs) like hair pulling and skin picking. My goal is to help clients stop the cycle of overthinking and rituals so you can spend less time in your head and more time living your life meaningfully.

I believe we all encounter challenges in life, many not of our choosing. When an individual is supported in a non-judgmental, compassionate way, they have the ability to find solutions that bring a measure of acceptance and peace of mind— healing and health. I believe each one of us holds within far more wisdom than we realize. My goal is to help you uncover the path that is best suited for you, support you to find answers, clear distractions and fear, as you go towards well-being. Many of us put ourselves last and have lost identities because of obligations and the pace of our world. Whatever your life stage, you can heal.

Feeling distant from your partner, stuck in looping arguments, or disconnected sexually? My work focuses on two areas where people often carry the deepest burdens: couples counselling and men’s issues. In my couple’s work, I go beyond surface communication techniques. I help you and your partner map the emotional patterns that keep you stuck, uncover the unmet needs beneath conflict, and practice new ways of connecting that feel safe and lasting. Couples often tell me they leave sessions not only with new insights, but also with practical strategies they can use right away.

Your relationship is great but you struggle in the bedroom. You (or your partner) have no desire anymore. When you do try it, it’s awkward and unfulfilling. Maybe you experience pain, or feel disconnected. You don’t know how to talk about it, and when you try it turns into a fight or disappointment. You are good friends (and parents) but you feel more like roommates than lovers. You can't remember the last time sex was easy and fun. Or maybe it's the other way around, sex is great, but you can't stop fighting. Or maybe it's both. I'd love to help. I love working with couples who feel they are stuck. Let's get you unstuck.

You didn’t plan for life to look like this. Divorce, separation, difficult co-parenting, work stress, conflict with a boss or coworkers, or a traumatic event may have left you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and spiritually unsettled.
