Are you a man who looks put-together on paper but feels restless, hollow, or like you're quietly failing the people who matter most? Or a couple worn down by the same argument cycling back; the same resentment, shutdown, and emotional distance? Many men I work with carry the crushing weight of performing at work, financially, as a partner or as a father, all while feeling like they're never truly enough. For couples, it's often one core wound surfacing in different arguments, sometimes rooted in patterns of relating to eachother that go back further than either partner realizes. I help men and adult couples break these cycles.
My work draws on attachment-based, relational, narrative, and cognitive-behavioural approaches; blending self-reflection with practical tools. Knowing why you're stuck matters as much as learning where to go from here. With couples, that means seeing the cycle beneath the conflict and building new patterns that foster emotional safety and connection.
As a husband, father, and former lawyer, I understand these challenges both personally and professionally. My style is warm but direct; curious about your story, and focused on actual change. If you’re ready to move from 'just coping' towards actual self-understanding and transformation, I encourage you to reach out; our first 30-minute conversation is free.

In initial sessions I explore the concerns you bring to therapy and the positive change you envision for yourself or your relationships. Exploring the "whole" you - your past, your life story and the 'you' that shows up in other contexts - often helps us develop a new perspective on your presenting concerns. From there, we collaborate on a treatment plan that takes the "whole you" into account.

I firmly believe that evidence-based practice must be artfully adapted to the unique circumstances, concerns and goals of each client. Rather than being guided by a single approach, our therapeutic work will be a transparent, dynamic and flexible process where I share how I am incorporating concepts and techniques from various evidence-based approaches to best help you achieve your goals.
