What is my approach to helping? Just as the body requires nurturing and attention to keep it healthy, the mind also requires maintenance and consideration around how it can be used to create the life circumstances that you desire. I work with individuals and couples that have interest in gaining increased awareness about their ways of being in their lives in order to bring about alternative outcomes. I am a platform for clients to discuss concerns, clarify what would be helpful and strengthen resolve and understanding of personal resources to make a desired change in their lives.

Pornography doesn’t have to destroy the relationships that matter most to you. For many men, turning to Pornhub, OnlyFans, cam sites, or even Instagram creates a growing emotional gap, eroding trust, intimacy and connection. It can leave your partner feeling unwanted and you feeling trapped in a cycle of guilt and shame. Over time, this struggle can lead to heartbreak, divorce, and a future far from the one you envisioned. You do not have to let this define you. It is time to take back control

As human beings, it is natural for us to feel a little stuck sometimes. We might feel anxious, uncertain, overwhelmed, or even slightly lost, vulnerable, and insecure. With empathy, warmth, and compassion, I use an integrative and collaborative approach with clients to help address challenging life circumstances, identify negative thinking, and understand methods of coping or defense.

I accompany clients from a place of compassion, creativity, warmth, and humour as they move from the wounds of interpersonal, systemic, and intergenerational trauma (e.g., neglect, identity-based violence, childhood or intimate partner violence, premature death) towards fulfilling lives rooted in posttraumatic growth. In addition to working with clients who have experienced trauma and its related effects, I also work with clients who identify as experiencing stress (including anxiety disorders), sadness or depression, persistent guilt and shame, life transitions, grief, and existential questions related to life purpose and identity.
