I strive to provide a safe and creative space for people to gain a deeper self-understanding and develop tools for navigating life's challenges. My speciality lies in integrating the creative processes (music, visual art, creative writing, etc.) in therapy as tools for self-expression, exploration, empowerment, and growth. I see each person as an innately and uniquely creative person capable of using this creativity as a resource in their therapy. Sessions with me may integrate elements of talk therapy, music therapy, EMDR and somatic (sensorimotor) psychotherapy.

I accept most private health insurance plans, including direct billing through Medavie Blue Cross.
I'm here to help. Life has many challenges with all the emotion, even fears and worries that come with them. Navigating through stress, anxiety or low mood is something we all do at one time or another, but sometimes it helps to have some assistance in that process. Our goal in therapy is to improve your coping skills and overall well-being. With that, I am a firm believer in the need for an individualized journey in therapy as opposed to a one-size fits all cookbook approach. This is about you and your life. It's deeper than some technique or strategy. Therapy is founded on the relationship we build and the dynamics of it.

I work with men who are done pretending everything's fine, parents stretched to their limit, and kids who need someone in their corner. Many men today feel isolated, overwhelmed by work-life pressures, or struggle with anger, low self-esteem, and finding balance. I help fathers and men build emotional resilience, manage anxiety and worry, improve relationships, and step into their roles with greater confidence and calm. Whether you're navigating fatherhood challenges, social stresses, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a non-judgemental space to develop real tools for lasting change.

Are you noticing the same patterns showing up in your relationships, across your life, or in parenting, and wondering why they keep happening? Maybe you find yourself stuck in the same arguments, questioning your decisions, feeling overwhelmed, or reacting in ways that don't fully make sense to you. I work with individuals, couples, and parents navigating relationship challenges, communication difficulties, life transitions, decisions, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. I take an active and collaborative approach. Rather than simply listening, I'll help you understand the patterns that keep showing up, explore what's driving them.

You may look capable to everyone else while feeling quietly worn down on the inside. You learned early how to manage tension, read the room, and keep things from escalating, often because the adults around you couldn’t. Now you’re responsible, thoughtful, and dependable, but also exhausted, resentful, emotionally disconnected, or stuck carrying more than your share in relationships, at work, or both. I work with adults navigating overfunctioning, relational stress, trauma, anxiety, burnout, emotional shutdown, and patterns of people-pleasing or self-abandonment that often develop in emotionally demanding environments.
