Now accepting clients.
As a firefighter nearing the end of my career, I am committed to continuing my passion for helping others through psychotherapy. I understand the unique challenges faced by first responders and support individuals dealing with emotional and psychological difficulties, including depression, stress, anxiety, and trauma. I welcome anyone seeking assistance with mental health concerns. If you feel like something is out of place but you cannot quite put your finger on it, we should talk.
While I favour an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on various techniques to best meet each client’s needs, I employ Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) when specificity is required.
Clients come to me for a safe and confidential space, where I strive to create an environment of trust and respect. Together, we work to enhance resilience, foster a deeper understanding of personal experiences, and improve overall mental health. There is no shame in asking for help.
