Accepting NEW patients. I am allied with 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and I welcome adults of all backgrounds, cultures & relationship structures. You might look like you are managing fine from the outside, but inside, your challenges aren't going away. Maybe you are experiencing a constant state of worry that never
switches off. Maybe your emotions hit harder/faster than you can hold or
maybe you just feel numb, in a way that worries you. You are not sure how you got
here, but you know something needs to shift. When you work with me, you will find a compassionate, experienced counsellor who isn't afraid to colour outside the lines.

Does your child need support navigating challenges like ADHD, behavioural concerns, hyperactivity, motivation, decision-making, focus, aggression, shyness, or other social-emotional issues? At Positive Kids, we understand how difficult it can be to see your child struggle. That’s why we’ve created a nurturing space to help children and teens develop critical life skills, in the following areas: self-control, self-awareness, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. These children ultimately become independent, confident, inquisitive, enthusiastic, responsible and compassionate adults in later years.

Life can feel heavy when you're caught in self-doubt, navigating big transitions, or carrying the weight of trauma. Maybe you find yourself stuck in negative self-talk or wondering what your purpose is. Even when things on the outside seem “fine,” it can still feel like something’s missing inside. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from your sense of self, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Therapy for High-Performing Women Navigating Pressure and Overwhelm.
You’re someone who is capable, driven, and used to holding a lot. From the outside, your life works, but internally, it can feel heavy, overwhelming, or disconnected.
I work with high-performing women navigating pressure, perfectionism, and the constant push to do more, be more, and hold everything together. Therapy becomes a space to recalibrate, helping you think clearly, regulate your nervous system, and move forward with intention, not just momentum.

I’m a fortunate man, really enjoying my life and my work. I am well, and I remember not being well; anxious, depressed, traumatized and clinically diagnosed with various psychiatric ailments. Life threw me some awful curves and I’ve experienced the therapy world as a client for many hundreds of hours in several of its forms. I have acted badly and I apologize to those I’ve hurt. I won’t indulge my humility here but I’ll be open if you ask. My practice is built in part on my personal experiences of suffering, change, and growth. I am a Registered Psychotherapist in the Province of Ontario.

The weight carried by those in high-stress professions— First responders, executives and professional athletes— can be overwhelming. Day after day, they face immense pressure, unexpected trauma, and the strain these challenges place on their closest relationships, especially with their partners. I work alongside these individuals and their families, helping them rebuild emotional balance and strengthen their connections at home.
Together, we focus on managing stress, nurturing relationships with partners, and building resilience, so professional demands don’t overshadow personal well-being.
