Men's Issues Therapists in Kelowna, BC
While I look forward to working with you regardless of the challenges on your journey, I have a lot of experience work with folks about suicidal thoughts and crisis, 2SLGTBQ plus experiences, men's issues, anxiety (social and general), and traumatic experiences.
Whether you need support through a significant life event, you want to challenge unkind thoughts about yourself or others, or you're just generally feeling unwell and unbalanced – you're not alone on this journey. You may have days where you feel low, nervous, unmotivated, or lost. Those can get in the way of your enjoyment, your relationships, or you just being at your best. I work with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, placing an intentional focus on folks who identify within the IBPOC, queer, gay/lesbian, trans, and other underserved communities.

I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, infidelity, men's issues and are in blended families.
Life can brings unexpected changes: Relationships come to an end; There may be Infidelity, failure, and disappointments. For those who value spirituality and faith there is a loss of hope. Alcohol and/or drug issues take control. If any of this resonates with you it may be a good time to consider counselling. I have a passion for people who struggle with chronic anxiety, aging gracefully, faith issues, addictions, depression, and relationship strife. I also have good understanding of the complicated world of blended families, those who struggle with work/family balance, and men who struggle with gaming/porn addictions.

Ever feel like saying FML? Between working nonstop to get ahead, demanding relationships, marriage and kids, it can feel impossible to make time for yourself. It’s no wonder your mental health eventually takes a toll. Showing up as stress, anxiety, depression or some other overwhelming situation that pulls you down. So how do you keep up when most men choose to isolate and go it alone?

Anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationship issues, men's issues, struggles with children, and family dynamics are my specialty areas.
My belief is that counselling starts off with a conversation about what issues are surfacing at this time. From there, we can decide which issue is front and centre at this time and give it the time and attention it deserves. I offer a wide range of modalities depending on what the client is looking for I will always suggest what I feel what may be effective

You may be hearing it from your partner, or from your kid's teachers and even from yourself that something has to change. I think of the 90's song, "I'm not sick, but I'm not well." You don't need to be in crisis or at your limit to seek help from a professional. Often seeking help is the first sign that you are serious about the solution and the growth that is inevitable. Change can be difficult, but you don't need to do it alone. I offer a practical and experienced approach to change, improved communication, self-regulation and acceptance of the challenges that are a call to growth. I work with children, parents and individuals.

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
