Do you ever feel like your stress, low self-esteem, low confidence, and possibly even anxiety, are getting in the way of you living your best life? Do you ever get told to “suck it up and be a man?” Are you trying to quit smoking/drinking/drugs and looking for support, or for someone who just gets it? I can help explore these concerns and areas with you while offering different ways to cope and manage these overwhelming and “out of control” feelings.

I welcome the most vulnerable, beat down version of you to sit and have a cup of tea with me, as we travel together on this journey of healing. No matter how many things have not worked, how many times you have 'failed', I welcome you to try again, and again. Ours is not a caravan of despair.
I am a believer in having strong people in your corner, who can hold up a mirror for you gently so you can work towards your goals. My wish is to help you connect to your dreams and my approach is a partnership. I've been told I have a warm demeanour and people feel at ease with me.
If you feel at the end of your rope, please reach out.

Men, let's be real—society tells you to tough it out, but where has that gotten you? Stressed, burnt out, and disconnected from those you care about. It's time to shatter the stigma that says asking for help makes you weak. As a therapist who understands the unique pressures men face, I'm here to tell you that vulnerability isn't your enemy—it's your strength. This isn't about fixing you; it's about empowering you to reclaim your life. Ready to stop surviving and start thriving?

I believe that my warm and flexible approach towards therapy can assist individuals who are struggling with issues related to anxiety and depression, such as a lack of motivation, self-esteem, or identity.

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.

Do you find yourself holding it all together on the outside, but inside feeling anxious, disconnected, or weighed down by past experiences? Many of my clients come to me struggling with trauma, overwhelming emotions, or a sense of being stuck in patterns they can’t seem to change. What they want most is to feel more grounded, present, and empowered, with healthier relationships and a greater sense of inner peace.

You don’t have to struggle with your mental health alone. I help individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or trauma—especially those who’ve learned to “keep it together” on the outside while silently struggling inside. Many of my clients are exhausted from pushing through and feel stuck in cycles of self-criticism and disconnection. They want real change, even if they’re unsure where to start. If you’re ready to go from overwhelmed to empowered, I offer compassionate, effective therapy that supports your growth—so you can stop surviving and start living.

I believe genuine human connection is the basis for meaningful therapeutic work. I take a relational approach when it comes to psychotherapy while utilizing solution-focused and cognitive-behavioural interventions. I seek to support my clients during their life challenges, transitions, and stressors using neuroplasticity to change self-talk and self-perception. I have experience working with clients who have experienced trauma, abuse, grief, difficult life transitions, as well as clients looking to address feelings of low self-esteem and anxiety.

My purpose as a therapist is to support you in moving through the places where you feel stuck, whether that means releasing old traumas, fears, anxiety, or working through emotional triggers and patterns like people-pleasing. Or maybe you've tried therapy before but it didn't help as much as you wanted. Together, we’ll work toward your goals so you can feel more grounded, empowered, and fulfilled. In our sessions, you’ll have a safe, non-judgmental space to express yourself freely, knowing you’ll be heard, understood, and respected.

I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario.

I work from the perspective that we’re all managing something, no matter what age. Whether it’s worries, relationship challenges, or problems with learning. Sometimes we need help understanding what it is that’s happening for us, while other times we understand the challenge, but not how to make changes. I meet you wherever it is you’re at, whether you’re seeking help for yourself or for your child.

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.
