As men, we’re often told to tough it out, bury our struggles, or handle everything ourselves. But real strength isn’t about silence—it’s about knowing when to lean in and do the work.
My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you can show up as you are—no judgment, no pressure, just honest conversations that help you move forward. Whether you're dealing with stress, relationship struggles, anxiety, or a sense of being stuck, I’m here to listen, challenge, and support you in ways that make sense for your life.
You don’t have to carry it all on your own. Let’s take the next step together.
I take a trauma-informed, person-centered approach, blending elements of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-based therapy. I specialize in working with men’s issues, depression, anxiety, family dynamics, and attachment concerns, always with a focus on creating hope, fostering change, and supporting your well-being.
Our specializations include: addiction, grief, self-esteem, trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, chronic illness, depression, divorce, stress, men's issues, anger management, and first responders. We offer in-person sessions in Ottawa, Toronto, and Durham Region (Oshawa). Additionally, direct billing is available for certain therapists/plans. Reach out today!
