I work with gay and bi men and queer individuals navigating anxiety, overthinking, emotional suppression, and the pressure to appear put together while feeling disconnected underneath. Some struggle with self-esteem, loneliness despite social connections, or patterns around closeness, sex, and vulnerability. Others are processing identity, minority stress, family acceptance, body image, or the lingering impact of earlier experiences that shaped how safe it feels to be open or emotionally known. Therapy offers a space to understand these experiences without having to explain the context around sexuality, relationships, or belonging.
My approach is affirming, trauma-informed and non-pathologizing. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, emotionally focused, IFS and cognitive-behavioural models within a collaborative, person-centered framework. Our work moves at a pace that feels steady and thoughtful, focused on insight, emotional growth, resilience, self-worth and practical change.
I am a Family Medicine Physician in Ontario with a Psychotherapy designation (GP Psychotherapist), providing OHIP-covered virtual psychotherapy throughout Ontario with no out-of-pocket cost to Ontario residents. If you’re considering taking this next step, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
