I believe in clients’ innate strength to guide them towards resilience and healing. I provide a therapeutic space for support, healing, and coping strategies, particularly for those grappling with anxiety or depression.

Most of us men have been taught that we have to manage things by ourselves. To hide our feelings. Or we don't have feelings. Guess what that leads to? Anger, irritability, relationship issues, work problems, and trouble connecting with our kids, friends, and partners. Maybe drinking too much and checking out, too. Or cheating on our partner, because it's easier than trying to figure out what's going on at home. Maybe you don't even realize how bad things have gotten until your partner tells you that you "can't communicate", you're messing up, and now you have no idea what to do and you're defensive and confused.

You are feeling overwhelmed in life - your emotions, thoughts, and circumstances are becoming overbearing. Pulling away from others to try to deal with these issues is no longer working. You find yourself having more “bad” days than good. It’s getting harder to depend on yourself to cope and make it through one more day. Whether you are dealing with work or school stress, relationship stress, loss, or new developments in life, I can help you in finding your way again.

Your life reality does not match the vision you had and now you are feeling down, somewhat anxious, and maybe unsettled. You may be feeling like you want to make a move towards accomplishing your goals but you reel stuck. Your might be in conflict with family, friends, and co-workers but you are certainly in conflict with yourself. Your inner critic (the voice we all have in our heads) has an overpowering voice which is resulting in you not making a move and simply put - not feeling happy. You want more but you're not sure how to get it and you want to feel that core happiness you've heard others talk about.

Even though your life looks good from the outside, something just doesn’t feel right. No matter how much you accomplish, you continue to feel guilty, small and like you’re not enough. When you think about it, you probably don't even know who "you" are or what you enjoy anymore. Maybe you never really did know. It may feel as though stress has taken over your life. Work is no longer fulfilling, your home life & relationships are suffering and you feel defeated at the end of the day. All of this leaves you feeling overwhelmed, down and confused, and you're not sure how to move forward.

I am able to meet with individuals who might be experiencing grief, stress, anxiety, sadness, feelings of being overwhelmed, etc. I also meet with couples who might be struggling with their relationship including communication, sex and intimacy, infidelity, life transitions. Your experiences, feelings and thoughts could need some attention to provide you insight into your life and help you to move forward with strategies and tools to get you through - I'm here to help you with that. I have been a social worker for over ten years both in a hospital setting and community and am passionate about working with individuals and couples.

The LCTT is an award-winning psychotherapy clinic. We understand your pain- depression, anxiety, stress, overwhelm. We know you're tired of living the same old story, that you want to move on from the past but don't know how. When your parenting, relationships and happiness are all suffering, you need change and you need help. It is so frustrating when you wonder, "what is wrong with me?!" or- you know what's wrong, but have no idea how to change. Maybe the ways you have tried before have failed you, or only lasted a little while. Take a breath- you're in the right spot and we are going to help you transform.

Are you struggling with anxiety and burnout? Are you having challenges managing work life balance or personal relationships?

Life is nothing short of amazing. It's amazing how much we can go through and live to tell about it. It's amazing how fast kids grow up and time flies, how angry a co-worker can make you, how much compassion we can seem to have for others when we struggle to offer any to ourselves. It's amazing how much we put on our plates when all we need is to rest. It's amazing how much we can long for understanding and connection and how much opportunity can be missed right in front of our eyes. It's amazing how short life is. It's also amazing how much we can learn in the time we have, and how little steps can amount to such massive change.

Life’s journey can be filled with daunting challenges and uncertainties. Whether you’re grappling with grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, or navigating a life transition, know that you’re not alone. I offer a safe space for exploration, understanding, and growth. Together, we can navigate through life’s storms with empathy, resilience, and hope. You deserve support on your journey to healing, and I’m here to walk alongside you.
