Men - it doesn't have to be this way! Are you feeling disconnected to yourself, loved ones, or society? Do you question whether you are a good father, son, or partner? Do you feel angry, stuck, overwhelmed, powerless, guilty, or "not normal". Many men struggle with their mental health without seeking help or reaching out for support. Often, this struggle may lead to addiction, anxiety, depression, shame, suicidal ideation, poor relationships, grief, low self-esteem, or low self-worth. First Step Men's Therapy offers a safe, warm, and inviting space for men to heal, learn, and grow. Book a free 20-minute consultation with us today!

Are you looking for therapy for yourself, your family, your child or teen? Would it be helpful to have someone to touch base with in a private, safe space? Is your child or teen struggling to manage overwhelming emotions, or are you dealing with outbursts of aggression or anger at home? My experience includes supporting individuals who have experienced trauma(s), attachment difficulties, ODD, ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, ABI/TBI, self-harm and difficulties with emotional regulation.

For many, therapy is sought out because of a crisis situation. It is difficult to live with feelings of anxiety, anger and despair. These feelings can affect your marriage, family, children and work life by creating conflict. It is my hope to restore a sense of calm during this time of self discovery and support you through life's challenges. I will offer you realistic, easy to use tools and strategies that can work to repair and enhance your relationships. Learn to set boundaries, repair and recover from infidelity, manage anger and build trust in a safe and compassionate environment.

What if your or your partner’s anger is actually a desire for a deeper connection? It’s a paradox that angry reactions push our partners/family/friends away when what we need is closeness. Hurt or fear could be behind anger. Or perhaps underlying depression, anxiety or trauma. Anger could be expressed harshly, silently or many ways in between; either way it builds walls. Whatever stands in the way of better connections can be uprooted and healed. Negative emotions and walls of anger don’t have to remain. You can overcome them and build the relationships you have longed for.

Everyone deserves support as they navigate personal challenges. It's common for people travelling on life's journey to get stuck, experience immense inner pain, face crises, or experience intense anger. Our passion is to extend hope, support, and a path toward healing for anyone caught in life's struggles.

Clients come to me saying "I am stuck", "I am unable to do anything" or "Life is so hard, I can't cope" and as I am a goal-oriented person I will help you to create clear goals. Then whatever your goal is, I can help you determine what life script are you living and with that knowledge, you will be able to decide whether to continue your pursuit or change your goals and ways to work with your life script. I also use solution-focused therapy to co-operate with you to create a suitable plan.

Beyond my credentials, I've learned keenly from each of my clients over the years, and my practice is informed by rich life experience. I work collaboratively, guiding you in revealing underlying causes and patterns that may be posing challenges in your life, in identifying and clarifying your own goals, and supporting you in carrying out strategies best suited for you to reach them. Each counselling need is unique. Always listening and with empathy, I can challenge you without threatening, and meet you where you're really at - which may not necessarily be where you assume you are.

Are you quick to anger and can’t understand why? Tired of constantly hurting your loved ones? For men, anger is the most socially accepted emotion to express, but when you feel out of control and it’s too big or out of place, it comes with consequences, both external and internal. However, this anger is trying to tell you something, to alert you to important needs being ignored, shamed or suppressed. Many of us have learned to approach relationships in a way that leads to resentment, jealousy, hatred, fear or shame. Through greater access you can shift old patterns and evolve into a more genuine fulfilled version of yourself.

My areas of expertise are Addictions, Childhood Trauma and Anger Management. I treat individuals, couples and groups.

Ideal age of clients is mid 20's to mid 60's.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. I work with clients to improve their resiliency and help to uncover their strengths. I use different modalities to meet the individual's needs. I use a client-centred approach that gives the client the ability to drive the sessions' goals. I help clients connect the dots between patterns that were established in their childhood and its manifestations in adult life. This aids in understanding the connection between the two and enables an exploration of ways to alter them.
