Infidelity Therapists in K6V

Are you feeling disconnected to yourself, loved ones, or society? Do you question whether you are a good father, son, or partner? Do you feel angry, stuck, overwhelmed, powerless, guilty, or "not normal". Many men struggle with their mental health without seeking help or reaching out for support. Often, this struggle may lead to addiction, anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, suicidal ideation, poor relationships, grief, low self-esteem, or low self-worth. You are not alone! First Step Men's Therapy offers a safe, warm, and inviting space for men to heal, learn, and grow. Book a free consultation today at firststepmenstherapy.com!

The best therapy combines knowledge and care. We can help. You may have been through very hard times or are facing life's unpredictable changes. You may be feeling, anger, sadness, loss of motivation. Perhaps you have anxiety, feel burdened or even scared and lonely. You are not alone. We have been there ourselves. We are therapists but we are people too. We have been to therapy too, and have seen the benefits. We are evidence based and experienced in our practice.

Welcome! I am glad you are here. Reaching out for support is courageous. Whether you are dealing with stress, trauma, or other mental health concerns, I would be happy to work with you to identify the goals and concerns you would like to address. I offer a warm and supportive environment as l walk alongside your journey. I will bring forth my clinical training and experience, collaboratively work with you, and embrace your unique individuality to tailor a treatment plan based on your needs.

I provide support to individuals hoping to improve their mental health, family conflicts and trauma responses. I am passionate about providing support to women navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, life transitions and faith/spirituality. ​I also bring valuable experience in working with grief and loss.

Choosing yourself can be a struggle. Especially if you’ve been conditioned to choose others since your younger years. It’s never too late to start now and begin to prioritize your own needs. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself or others you are not alone. Therapy is a safe space to restore your mental, emotional, and relational health. I have a deep passion for helping people grieve their losses, process their traumas, celebrate their wins, take their power back, and learn to love and trust themselves after trauma.

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.

I work with individuals and couples who are seeking improved communication, increased connection, reduced conflict, intimacy, facing a mental health diagnosis in partner, Operational Stress Injuries including PTSD, veterans issues, police and other first responders, medical professionals, and major life transitions. Seeking therapy takes courage and vulnerability, so we will work together to make you feel at ease and able to progress based on your unique needs and strengths.

Sometimes people get stuck. Individuals and couples come to me for counselling to talk about a variety of problems - things like conflict in relationships, anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, abuse, grief, vocational crisis, or anger. A counselling relationship helps people to move from understanding issues to co-creating solutions - solutions that shrink and manage problems. I use an integrative approach, drawing on different counselling methods depending on what works best for the client, including practices from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and solution-based therapy. I can help you to move through difficult times with courage, accountability, and positive resolve.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

I work from a place that values and acknowledges the need for connection and right relationship in all domains of life, including the therapeutic relationship. The desire to feel heard, understood, known and safe is an inherent need we all desire and I aspire to create this dynamic in all my therapeutic working relationships. I am strength-based clinician, drawing on each individual unique gifts, talents and experiences. I understand and feel privileged to witness the triumph over one's challenges through this therapeutic process. I am a RP, with 30 years in Mental Health, working with children, youth, adults, couples and families.

Are you looking to address your longstanding difficulties that you suspect might stem from past traumas or stressful life events? Are you hoping to resolve these past emotional traumas that continue to impact your wellbeing? I can team up with you to navigate the triggers to your current day difficulties and address the emotional root of these triggers so that you can live a more fulfilling and unburdened life.

My work at its core is all about building a relational connection and co-creating a safe therapeutic holding space which is informed by the relational psychotherapy and narrative therapy, and my own lived experiences as a racialized gay/queer person and also adoptive parent. Whether your struggles are small or big, what matters in this space is our joint commitment, an emotionally engaged and interactive process, and a shared journey. Our therapeutic relationship is going to be the principal vehicle to bring the changes that you are longing for in your personal and family life, as well as within your larger community.

Offering in person and online. Evening and weekend appts only. Welcome! I am a registered social worker with over 25 years of experience in the field. I am passionate about supporting individuals going through stressful times. Stressful situations can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed and alone. As your therapist it would be an honor to walk alongside you in your journey to unpack what is holding you back from healing and reaching your goals. I am a trauma informed and client centred therapist who feels comfortable working with a wide range of individuals.

As a registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist and Clinical Director, I strive to deliver compassionate and empathetic support in working with the client in finding their inner strength and abilities and expanding on those for success. I believe every individual is capable to succeed and breakthrough their past current and future challenges/struggles, whatever they might be. With the focus of the client as the expert and the clinician as supportive expert, you will have the opportunity to be guided through your own strengths and abilities in moving forward and finding happiness/success through the life course.

Accepting some new clients! You are in the right spot if you are feeling stressed out, anxious, and overwhelmed in general or by life transitions. It is also the right spot for you (individually or as a couple) if you’re feeling lost in navigating your relationships; if you feel as though your needs aren’t being met; if you’re having difficulties engaging with sex and intimacy; or if you don’t know how to get “unstuck” from unhelpful patterns. Moving through life and relationships are basic parts of the human experience and yet, they can feel SO hard. Know that this is natural and it is where our work begins.
