As a former first responder, I understand the cumulative impacts of trauma and how it can affect our way of being, among other things. My career in Policing taught me many valuable lessons and has helped pave the way for me to continue to serve others in a counselling capacity. I recognize the necessity of pre-emptively equipping first responders with psycho-education, tools and techniques to help preserve their wellness and overall being. A holistic approach in preserving physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health is necessary to enable our first responders to safely carry out the duty’s incumbent upon them.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with a passion for working with neurodivergent folks. As someone who only came to understand my own neurodivergency in my late 20s, I am all too familiar with the often-unique trials and tribulations that can arise throughout the lives of neurodivergent people (in addition to the often exceptional capabilities that can be a huge advantage in many facets of life!). I typically work with those struggling with general and social anxiety, depression, screen addiction, task avoidance, acquired brain injury, and/or self-advocacy.

Change starts with the relationship that we form in the therapy and then continues by building useful skills in and outside of our sessions. In practice this means that I fit best with clients who are interested in (1) understanding more about their thoughts and emotions while also (2) taking clear steps to improve their mental and physical well-being. My job as the therapist is to provide a warm and caring environment to support the client in this process.

I believe we all create narratives to explain and understand the reality we are in. Most of our narratives are unconscious and affect our judgement, behavior and actions. Are these narratives healthy, robust, creative, compassionate and loving? Some narratives we create to protect our younger selves from a perceived hostile environment may not be useful later on in life. My goal is to provide a safe listening space to help you figure out your narrative, why your story is what it is and what needs healing.

My main area of focus is helping eliminate abuse in interpersonal relationships, from as seemingly "light" as bickering to more escalated confrontations. I've worked with perpetrators (males and females) of domestic violence for nine years, helping people to re-establish healthier relationships with partners and family members again. Much of this is developing communication and empathy skills, all in the context of understanding yourself better and, often, the early life experiences you've had that have brought you to this point.

I have a deep interest in helping people open to explore their core selves, and increase their self-awareness, focus, attention, and concentration. Although I have a special interest in working with elite athletes, and physicians, I believe that a strengths-based approach rooted in the priniciples of high-performance are applicable to all of us. Whether one is working in a demanding profession, pursuing academics or specialized training, there is limitless potential in all to self-examine, focus on what is truly important, and live meaningful lives guided by our personal ethics.

Life is so complicated! Do we need anxiety and depression to add to our list of issues? Stress from our jobs, partners, spouses and family dysfunction just add to the list of everyday pressures. Add childhood and early life traumas and the plate is already overwhelming. Our goal is to thrive in today’s crazy world and overcome the stubborn obstacles that hold us back from emotional happiness.

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.
