My best work happens in these three areas of speciality: (1) Men's Counselling, (2) Couples Counselling, and (3) Separation & Divorce Counselling.

Men and women's mental health challenges-including relationship conflicts, self-worth, sense of self, depression and anxiety, —are qually important. These challenges can leave us feeling stuck, fearful, hopeless, and in pain. Confronting the behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that hold us back takes courage. Sometimes, we need help in addressing the obstacles that prevent us from living our desired life. Whether you’re facing these issues on your own or within a relationship, neither situation feels good. My intent is to help you navigate these obstacles and make sense of your story so you can move forward toward a better tomorrow.

You're not broken. But something is wrong — and you've known it for a while. The shame you carry alone. The relationship that keeps breaking the same way. The version of yourself that shows up when things get hard — the one you don't fully understand. The men I work with are done managing. They're ready to go underneath — into the history, the patterns, the wounds quietly running their lives. Through that work, they begin to understand themselves, relate differently, and build a life that actually feels like theirs.

I also work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, infidelity, men's issues and are in blended families.
Life can brings unexpected changes or just seems joyless and full of stress. Relationships are strained. 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 also have a deep passion to journey with people who struggle with chronic anxiety, are experiencing domestic violence, faith issues or are battling a porn addiction. I have experience working with first responders and those who have been exposed to traumatic events in their lives

Are you feeling stuck in repeating patterns, disconnection, or emotional overwhelm? Have you noticed that what you’ve been trying is no longer working, and you’re ready for deeper, lasting change? As a marriage and family therapist using a systemic approach, I draw on evidence-based modalities like Somatic Experiencing and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT/EFFT) to help clients understand and regulate emotions, shift relational patterns, and rebuild connection. I offer services in English and Spanish, with a culturally sensitive approach that honors each client’s background.

Clients present with a variety of concerns, needs, and goals. Most will be struggling with concerns around anxiety and/or depression. I meet with the client for a thorough history, identify priorities io work on, and then collaboratively develop a treatment approach. I use CBT to conceptualize our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and use grounding exercises with a focus on our somatic senses to help calm the client to understand struggles. Clients are invited to their thoughts, beliefs and their values, including dreams. Together, we work with to understand how these "fit" into their life and how well they are working.

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.

Are you DONE just talking about and understanding your challenges? Not to say that insight isn't important but healing often requires more than insight alone. Using BRAIN-BODY based approaches such as Somatic Experiencing & Brainspotting, we work directly with the nervous system to access patterns held beneath conscious awareness. By engaging the deeper brain (subcortical & brainstem) and your body's natural capacity to heal, these approaches can help shift stuck survival responses, build regulation, and create meaningful change from the inside out.

As a man, therapy might not be your preferred use of time, yet a growing part of you is curious about what could be. Throughout your life, you’ve felt minimized and closed off from your potential. Maybe you’ve grown curious about that. You know you have lots to offer, but you are uncertain of what that could look like. You want to gain confidence and independence to realize your dreams or control your addictions, but you haven’t found someone who cares or understands enough to provide you with the support you need. You are noticing a new excitement and motivation to connect with yourself and others in a healthier way.

Men's Issues Counsellors
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.
