The support of an empathetic, non-judgmental counsellor can help us to create a plan to move forward when we feel ‘stuck’. If you are experiencing sadness, stress, or worry, I can provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to identify the goals that are most important to you, and support you in reaching those goals.

I work with young people & men who may be experiencing a variety of issues such as anxiety,
self esteem
issues, work issues or relationship struggles.
Opening up is difficult. Often we're told to deal with it, or that things will get better. Maybe you’re going through a transition, feeling overwhelmed, tired, or stuck. Maybe you’ve been feeling an emotion you’ve been told you’re not supposed to feel. Navigating these conflicting thoughts and feelings can be a lot to manage, but you do not have to manage them alone. Maybe you feel like your problems are too big or too small. Maybe you feel like something is just a passing thought and is not worth bringing up. When working with me, nothing is off the table – if it’s important to you, then it is important to me.

Men that come to see me usually stuck, feeling paralyzed, stressed, anxious, depressed or directionless. You may question whether you are a good son, father, or partner. Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, or just feeling disconnected from yourself and with others. Reaching out to a qualified therapist means taking the "first step". Many men try to solve their challenges on their own, with limited or short-term success. It doesn't have to be this way, and my role is to help you see things in different ways and from a different perspective. You are not alone - call, email, or visit our site.

First off, I'm so glad you are here. You are doing the right thing.. putting you first, maybe for the first time ever? I like to think of therapy as a walk through the dark. Sure, it can be scary. However, with you leading the way, I will be right next to you holding the flashlight. When things get tough, we often forget how powerful and capable we are. I can help you rediscover your strength.. I say rediscover because it absolutely is there. I want to remind you, you are not broken. There is nothing wrong with you. You are having normal reactions to abnormal circumstances and sometimes that can make us feel weak. You are not weak.

Self Esteem Counsellors
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
