Disconnected. Isolated. Broken. Hopeless. Powerless. Stuck. Many men we work with tell us this is how they feel. You may be struggling with anxiety, anger, depression, shame, guilt, grief, sadness, trauma, or depression - and struggle with an addiction (sex/porn/alcohol/marijuana/video games/gambling/fantasy) or underlying thoughts, beliefs, and feelings you have held since childhood. Relationships with those you care about, including the one with yourself, may have been impacted by your behaviours. Ready to take the first step? Prêt à faire le premier pas? Suivis/ services thérapeutiques offerts en français.
Through my work, men develop the tools to become un-stuck in life, develop awareness, gain new tools, and are able to move on with a healthier outlook on their story. They also re-design relationships with themselves and those closest to them. I work with clients to not only address the symptoms, but also the root causes that have led them to this point.
My specialities include: sexual addiction, men's issues, career guidance, grief, video game addiction, gambling, alcohol use, ADHD, addiction, infidelity, anger management, anxiety, depression, and internet addiction. We also offer couples counselling and therapy for partners looking for support. Click on the "website" button to book a free consultation.
