Hello! I'm Josh! I'm here to offer support for various issues such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Anxiety, LGBTQ issues, Phobias, Health Anxiety, Grief, and issues related to Gender and Sexuality among others. My approach is one based on authenticity, as I believe honesty is the best policy. That means sometimes I may challenge you to consider alternative perspectives, to step outside your comfort zone, or call out behaviours or patterns that don't appear to be serving you anymore.

If you’re here, that means you’ve already taken the first step toward a better tomorrow! You may be dealing with some of the issues I mentioned, or maybe you’re looking for support through major life changes. I am here to help you identify and achieve your goals, so you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As a member of the LGBTQ community, I place great value on ensuring that our time together is judgment-free, supportive, and safe for you to be yourself. Our relationship will be collaborative, meaning the therapies we use will be ones we agree on together. I also come with a great, albeit cheesy sense of humour. Laughter and jokes are encouraged here!
