Therapists in K9H

Music and creativity can be the path to healing, but can sometimes also be the cause of suffering. Particularly during the pandemic, musicians can experience isolation and disconnection from themselves and others. My goal is to help you find a space to not only heal but also learn how to thrive again. My clients are professional and aspiring musicians, and people for whom music used to be a large part of their life. People who live unconventional lives, who feel deeply, and are highly sensitive. Having taken my own journey through music and healing, I now support others looking to reclaim music in their lives.

Do you feel disconnected with yourself or in your relationships? Maybe past experiences have contributed to this. Or you recognize the challenge in our tech-savvy world, to unplug and tune in to yourself and to each other. Our early and ongoing experiences with family, friends, significant other(s), etc impact how we connect and attach; they impact mental health and well-being. We are more likely to thrive when we feel safely and securely connected to another person(s). When our relationships are instead overwhelmed with tension, pain, lack of understanding, etc we often struggle to feel and manage well.

Life can be complicated to navigate, and reaching out for help can be equally distressing. You may be asking yourself, "Why is this happening to me?", "What can I do to feel better again?" or "Is this all there is to life?" You may feel that your life is out of control, or chaotic. You may believe that you've lost the person you once were.

Stuck? Lost? Broken? Disconnected? Powerless? Hopeless? Many men wait too long to seek help for the challenges they face. You may not feel safe talking with others, particularly if you have experienced trauma, abuse, anxiety, addition, grief, or shame. Often, even those they are closest to you may understand or know the depth of your pain. You may feel that you are burdening others with your problems, and may have tried to solve your issues on your own, often leading deeper struggles and, at times, greater loss and pain.

I provide trauma and attachment focused psychotherapy, consultation, and training for individuals and professionals. In my clinical practice, I work with individuals (18+) who are experiencing difficulties related to their past and/or recent traumatic experiences. These experiences can include: attachment trauma (childhood abuse, relationship trauma), PTSD, C-PTSD, medical trauma, and individuals living with Borderline Personality Disorder. I work extensively with First Responders who often seek my services to engage in early mental health interventions, manage Operational Stress Injury/PTSD, and/or moral injury/sanctuary trauma.

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!

We are all on our own healing journey and, at different points in this journey, we need support and guidance. Our stories of struggle, pain and resilience need to be held, spoken, and honoured. This honouring comes in the way of sharing our stories in a safe space, which, in turn, allows connection to the corresponding emotions. As we allow our emotions to speak to us, we discover where we are holding them in our body and, thereby, start to bring awareness to the needs of the "whole self" (mind, body, spirit, emotion). Imbalance in one sphere necessarily effects and creates imbalance in all spheres.

It is often hardest to reach out when we need support most. I welcome each client with empathy and offer a safe, compassionate space to speak as your authentic self. I can support you in identifying your needs and goals; moving beyond the “shoulds” you tell yourself and towards self-acceptance. I incorporate compassion, humour, and realistic life changes to meet the individual needs of each person I meet. Getting to know you and creating a unique plan of support is my priority.

You struggle and may have a trauma history with anxiety and other issues. You feel stuck and don't know what to do. Are you willing to engage in self-exploration and have a genuine desire to heal yourself at a deeper level? My clients have a strong need to heal these burdens and are willing to invest time, effort, and energy into their therapeutic journey. They are open to exploring the different parts of themselves, including the ones that may be difficult, uncomfortable, or holding the burdens of the trauma. If you've had enough of letting whatever happened to you RULE your life, then maybe we can talk.

Affordable therapy opportunity > > > I am a person that is at ease with ‘the gray’; deeply understanding that there is no one way to live life. Instead, I want to validate your personal expression of who you are and am here to walk alongside you as you explore who you want to be and what you want your life to look like. ​ I hope, first and foremost, during our time together, you feel safe and heard. At every point in your journey, whether you are trying to heal or grow, I hope you feel that who you are in this moment, is valuable.

Together, with the intention of helping you broaden your understanding of yourself, we will explore the thoughts and feelings which inspired you to reach out. As we journey through the challenges that arise, I will be open to your feelings, offering empathy, insight, and validation, all the while staying aware of the connection and space that exists between the two of us. I approach my practice and life from an anti-oppressive, LGBTQ positive, feminist, framework.

I have a passion for working with individuals with anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I am very open about my own experience with anxiety because I strongly feel like it should be normalized, as the majority of individuals experience a mental health need at some point in their lives; there is absolutely no shame in that. I help my clients reach their goals of mental calm by providing them with a safe environment to explore and unpack their fears. Together, we begin to understand the psychology of where that fear has stemmed from and begin to take steps forward in facing our anxiety and in thriving vs. surviving.

From me, you can expect to be treated with respect and compassion. I have extensive experience within the field of mental/medical health, palliative care, and grief. I am also an advocate with knowledge of our health and school systems. Supporting your wellness will always be my priority. If you are experiencing mental health problems, seeking personal growth, living with an illness, healing, or grieving, I can be both a support and a resource. If you are a person or a parent supporting a child with a learning disability and/or ADHD, I can help you navigate the system, strengthen your IEP, develop skills, strategies, and insights.

Currently Accepting New Clients (in-person or video) - Are you in a place where something’s not feeling right and it’s time for a change? Perhaps you want to reduce anxiety and stress. Or maybe you’re tired of being held back by feeling “not good enough.” Or you want to improve relationships with friends, loved ones, and co-workers. You might not even be able to put a finger on what’s wrong, but you’ve reached the point where you feel it’s time to reach out for help. You are not alone.

Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts? Do you have the urge to repeat certain behaviours until “it feels right”? Are you preoccupied and bothered by aspects of your appearance? Are there parts of your home that are too cluttered to use, yet you find it hard to get rid of anything? Do you struggle with body-focused repetitive behaviours like hair-pulling or skin-picking? If you are saying “yes” to any of these questions, you may be dealing with Obsessive-Compulsive and/or a Related Disorder (OCDRs), which includes Hoarding, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs).

Change can often be unwelcome, scary and uncomfortable, especially in these isolating times. In therapy, I offer a soft landing for these experiences, providing you with a non-judgmental space to be heard and the encouragement to face the things in your life that are no longer serving you.
