I offer PACT (L2), and a full range of approaches and models that best address and support mood disorders, addictions and substance use health.

Anxious brain, scattered mind? Constantly feeling on edge? I’m here for you. Anxiety probably makes you feel like you’re missing out on the joys of being alive. It’s like living in a parallel world filled with worst-case scenarios and what-ifs. Exhausting, isn’t it? Over time, the accumulation of stressors and unresolved trauma changes the way the brain works, making it harder to face daily challenges. Whether you're seeking support for past trauma or struggling with anxiety symptoms, my goal is to provide you with the tools and guidance to navigate your healing journey. Reach out now to book your free 15-minute consultation.

Currently fully booked and not taking new clients at this time. My clients often describe feeling disconnected, dropping hobbies, having a hard time imagining the future, and isolating from others. They focus on what is going wrong in life, struggle to see the point in life, and notice being pretty tough on themselves. I largely focus on working with men who are struggling with depression and men who have never tried therapy before, however, I am open to working with all genders if my profile resonates with you.
