I'm glad you're here. Finding the right therapist is an important decision. If anything below resonates, book a free consult to see if we're a fit. Anxiety can feel like bracing for what might go wrong before it even happens. Depression can feel like moving through your days from a distance, doing what needs to be done but nothing quite reaches you the way it used to. Big life transitions can leave you stuck between two versions of your life — the old one gone, the new one not yet formed. Whatever's brought you here, chances are the people around you genuinely care, but still, some part of this feels like yours to carry alone.
I work with individuals across all stages of life — including adults, teens, and parents. A significant part of my practice is young men in their 20s and 30s. Roughly 82% of counsellors in Canada are women. I am grateful to be in this minority providing support for those looking for a male counsellor.
Most of us can understand how our childhood impacted the way we live as adults, but this doesn’t change anything. Insights are not what therapy is about. Together we create an environment where you can be deeply understood and accepted unlike in daily life. When this genuinely happens, real change happens. Book a free consult to see if we're a fit.

Person-centred therapy is my primary modality. In our day to day life we are seldom met with deep understanding and acceptance... with kind curiosity. Empathy means that as a counsellor I can hold a grounding reflective space that allows you to experience yourself more fully. It is my experience that when connection and this kind of environment is truly fostered, immense personal change happens.
