I have been in practice for 20 years, working with adults with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.
You came here because you are hurting and overwhelmed. And you want things to improve, so that you can quiet the turmoil, and feel much better again. You have made the right choice.
Yet choosing the right psychologist is tricky. You want the best help available, someone who is caring, and truly helpful. That is why I use Feedback Improved Therapy. It consists of measuring in each session whether you are improving as a result of therapy, and your sense of teamwork with me. 3 research studies show that this doubles the effectiveness of psychotherapy.

I have worked many years with people from all walks of life and have experienced first hand relationship trauma, challenging family dynamics and the effects of addiction.
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.

I provide structured, in-person and online, 90-minute sessions to couples who have the time for, and commitment to, the journey of reclaiming their relationship.
A person’s intimate partner can be one of their greatest sources for pleasure, security, and meaning in life. In such relationships it is NOT normal (or acceptable) to feel isolated, controlled, or demeaned. If this is your experience, I can help. My approach strikes a balance between processing betrayals and regrettable incidents from the past, and ritualising effective practices for building trust, friendship, understanding, and intimacy in the present. I start with a 90-minute assessment, give practical and straight-forward direction, and allow space for each person’s story to unfold.

My areas of expertise include life changes and/or transitions, cultural challenges and impact, relationship issues, caregiver support, anger, ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds who are wanting to enhance their wellbeing by reflecting on and processing their past and present struggles. I implement a person-centered approach, holding each client as the expert of their own lives and experiences, ultimately supporting them while they discover, establish, and maintain resources for healing. We explore how your life experiences have shaped, and continue to influence, who you are today. I hope to help clients evolve, heal, and build meaningful lives.

Are you looking for support with anxiety, emotional regulation, relationship issues, trauma, or just becoming a better version of yourself? Know that you are not alone. I believe that life has a way of making us feel lost, we lose touch with our inner compass, making it difficult to navigate relationships or to tap into joy. You shouldn't have to take this on alone though, which is why it is my goal to come alongside you so we can wade the complexity of life together. I know with the right support life doesn't have to feel so "blah". If you are ready to dig deep, you are in the right place!

Male mental health challenges such as depression, relationship conflict and anxiety are not that much different than women's. These challenges can hold us in place, in fear, in hopelessness, in pain. Confronting behaviours, thinking and feelings that may be the root of a life not lived well takes courage. Sometimes we need help doing that to move us forward and improve the quality of our life. You may be struggling on your own or in a relationship. It doesn't matter neither place feels good. My intent is to help you navigate the obstacles and make sense of your story so you can get to where you want to be sooner.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
