While "trauma" may just sound like an empty buzzword, the truth is that once we have experienced it, it can consume almost every component of our lives. Our once enjoyable and fulfilling experiences appear to be a distant memory completely out of reach. Everyday life is now a struggle, our day-to-day goal is merely to survive. If this sounds in line with your past or current feelings then I am eager to work with you towards improving your quality of life. I am a compassionate and goal-driven psychotherapist dedicated to achieving gradual and yet profound improvement in your thoughts, feelings and beliefs.

In my practice, I have focused on treating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, and difficulty with executive function. These issues have a lot of overlap between them, and a lot more people suffer with these challenges than many realize, including those that suffer from it. We tend to feel pretty alone when struggling with mental health issues, and this makes them feel unbeatable. You're not alone, and these issues are not unbeatable. Together we will work to identify what elements are impacting your functioning, understand them, and work piece by piece to either change them, mitigate them, or learn to cope with them.

Currently offering pro-bono counselling. Everyone has challenges in their life and we don't hesitate to accept assistance in almost every area except for mental health. We are quick to accept a marketing lead from a business associate, money management advice from a financial advisor or parenting advice from a friend. But when we are experiencing anxiety, depression or self esteem questions we view the need for help as a weakness. Perhaps the reason is that we fear being labeled.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
