Finding the right counsellor can be difficult. I know because I have been through that search myself. It can be hard to know which therapist is really the best fit based on a profile alone. My style is direct, practical, and compassionate. I often work with men, young adults, and people in transition who feel stuck, dissatisfied, anxious, disconnected, or caught in patterns they no longer want to repeat. Together, we slow things down, look at what is happening in your brain, body and behaviour, understand the pattern without shame, and identify practical changes that can have the biggest impact on the goals that matter to you.
As the son of an electrician, I learned there is always a right tool for the job. I bring that mindset to counselling: using CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS/parts work, somatic experiencing, career counselling, and psychodynamic reflection to understand what is happening now, how the past may be shaping it, and what tools can help you move forward.
Anxiety, addiction, pornography use, career uncertainty, family conflict, relationship struggles, and feeling stuck can be hard to talk about and harder to face alone. My aim is to meet you with honesty, care, and respect as we make sense of what is happening and what might help. If this sounds like the right support, you’re welcome to reach out.

The way we work on your problems will come from a process of exploration and experimentation. We can take our time to identify your primary challenges, make space for reflecting on influencing factors, and gain insight on the significance of the impacts on your life. From there, we decide together on what moving forward looks like. What that looks like will be up to us as a collaborating team.

In my training and experience as a counsellor, I have developed an integrative approach of supporting clients. I do not use CBT on its own. I do not use DBT on its own. I believe each modality has its place and offers unique opportunities for exploration and growth, not in isolation from one another, but in concert with one another. We have a chest of tools to draw from. Let's use them all.
