There are no clinical issues that I am not comfortable with. I will hold space for whatever you bring and especially enjoy peeling back the layers of those with childhood trauma who find it impacts their ability to experience safe relationships as adults. I can help with issues related to attachment trauma and and the fall out effect on families and relationships. I am here for those dealing with personal impact of narcissism, BPD and emotional regulation disorders in a parent, children or spouse. I also welcome those Quiet BPD. I can also help anyone caught in the turmoil of infidelity. You will find clarity with me.

Relationships issues, life transitions, and grief, are topics especially close to my heart. Together, we can clarify your values and what you're looking for in a partner, address communication barriers and re-establish connection in your relationships, use insight and compassion to disrupt patterns that may no longer be serving you, or help you come to terms with a devastating heartbreak. We can access your strengths to help you embark on exciting new life chapters that might feel overwhelming at first, such as starting college/university, a new career, getting married, entering parenthood, adjusting to retirement or an empty nest.

I specialize in disordered eating, and the complex relationships we often have with our bodies, food, and exercise. If you are experiencing (peri)menopause, postpartum, or other life changes alongside new or recurring symptoms of an eating disorder, we may be an especially good fit. This might be a new job, the end or start of relationship, or something else. These things can all trigger discomfort in the body, and my goal is to help you create trust and safety as through this growth.

Relational Trauma Therapist. You may understand yourself and your patterns, but still feel stuck in painful relationship dynamics. You might notice that you overthink interactions, doubt yourself, or struggle to trust your feelings, even when part of you knows something doesn’t feel right. You may be confused about why you feel guilty when someone is hurting you. You may feel you had to disconnect from your needs and feelings to stay safe in a relationship. It’s common to hold conflicting feelings about someone you love and feel hurt by, or to feel pulled between protecting the relationship and protecting yourself.

Overwhelmed by life's challenges? Whether it's anxiety, complex relationships, impulsive habits, or feeling lost and disconnected, you're not alone. With a background in addictions counselling, I’ve walked alongside clients to figure out what practical insights, tools, and resources to draw on to move forward. Originally from Winnipeg, my approach is based in CBT and Taoist and Buddhist philosophy. Successes in areas of personal well-being, relationships, family, behavioral health, coping, and adapting to changes inform our work together.

Many of my clients come in struggling to genuinely like themselves. They're caught in a cycle of self-criticism and self-doubt, feeling like nothing they ever do is enough. They're terrified that if they start to speak up or set a boundary, the people they love will walk away, so they don't. Their fears settle into the body, showing up as a mental spiral, a tight chest, a racing heart, until eventually they just shut down. Sometimes they can even see their patterns, but they still feel really stuck. That's where this work comes in.

You’re a deep-feeling, thoughtful person trying to make sense of yourself, your relationships, and the world, but it’s felt overwhelming lately. Maybe you’ve just been diagnosed, are exploring a new relationship style, or are navigating a mismatch in how your brain works compared to someone you love. You’re looking for a space to be understood without needing to explain every part of yourself, and support that feels grounding, curious, and authentic.

Conflicts. Heartache. Angst. Chronic worry. Fear. Prolonged Sadness. Anger. You probably tried to deal with your struggles on your own, but you are not meant to suffer alone. Most of us reach out for help to family and friends. But sometimes you need more. You need someone who knows how to help you through your difficulties. You need someone who will hear, understand and help you find your way out of darkness. You need someone who can help you develop the courage to say no to toxic choices and yes to life-affirming decisions.

I support adults who are seeking to understand historical and relational trauma and those working to live with more authenticity, clarity, and intention. Many of the people I work with have spent years in survival mode—navigating life the best they could—but are now ready to shift into a more connected and empowered way of being. I’m here to walk alongside you, to help you uncover and explore what lies within.

Hi, I’m Justin. It might look like you're keeping it together, but inside, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that are hard to explain. Maybe your relationships feel distant. Maybe sex feels like a source of stress instead of connection. Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to do it alone. I help individuals and couples work through intimacy struggles, relationship stress, anxiety, and identity concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling like something is missing in their personal experiences or with others. My practice is sex-positive, kink-aware, BDSM-informed, and affirming.

I prioritize a non-judgmental and deeply empathetic approach to anxiety and other concerns that's individualized to your needs. I want to help you understand your challenges and feel confident in your ability to grow through them. One of my favourite aspects of helping others is that moment when it clicks for a client that the change they want is possible. I'd be thrilled at the chance to support you toward that moment and beyond. Clients have brought a wide variety of concerns to my office, and I've helped them grow their strength around difficult feelings, set clear paths forward, and unburden themselves of immobilizing shame.
