Men's Issues Therapists in Bradford, ON

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who has worked with individuals in different capacities since 2011. Using my calm and gentle nature, I have built a practice based on professionalism, trust, openness and authenticity, where clients can feel safe and accepted without judgement. My approach to psychotherapy is tailored to the needs of my clients. I am dedicated to helping those in need of mental health care, and I always enjoy meeting new people. I have earned an honours Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Laurentian University, as well as a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology with Yorkville University.

I imagine that you have discovered me because you are recognizing that certain ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving are causing you to struggle and suffer in your daily life. These problems may arise from excessive anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, trauma, or substance abuse. It can be difficult sharing emotional pain with others. I am a trained and experienced psychotherapist, and I will offer you a safe and confidential space to talk openly about what is happening in your life. I am confident that we can build a therapeutic relationship that allows you to feel like the changes you want to make are possible.

Everyone needs a support system to get through challenging times in their lives and to continue to build up tools that can be used daily. Walk through a session with myself in order to focus on what this change can look like for you.

As a psychotherapist, my perspective on healing is that we all have within us what we are searching, but we need help in uncovering and recovering that innate knowledge. Let me help you learn to find that knowledge. I see adults individually or within a couple both in person and for online sessions. I provide an empathetic and safe space combined with real practical and tangible support and advice.

"Courage doesn't happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life." I know it is a hard to make the first phone call, but when you do be proud of yourself, you have started on your healing journey. You are the "expert" of your story! I am qualified to work with depression, anxiety, PTSD and Certified Family and Marriage Therapist and provide Psychotherapy services. I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker and have qualifications to also serve Indigenous People. Therapy and people and building healthy relationships is my passion!

I believe that the client is an expert in their own lives. Each client possesses unique innate wisdom and strength. Within the safety of the session, the client's story can unfold, at their own pace and comfort. I believe that each person's choices and actions come from a place of positive intent. Understanding what the positive intent is, can open the door to problem solving and learning new and better suited strategies for use in the future.

My specialty is working with youth, adults and families faced with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, loss, self- esteem, relationship, and parenting. I am a strong ally of the LGBTQ2S+ community. I have completed the foundation training for Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), an effective psychotherapy method which helps clients recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders.

At times, we can find ourselves dealing with thoughts, feelings and life events that leave us experiencing profound emotions like loss, confusion or sadness. Whether the cause is based on childhood events, relationships, work or some unexpected occurrence, the effects are often fairly similar. It may be useful to consider that the goal of therapy is to bring about some kind of change - for example, going from where you are now (distress) to where you want to be (calm and centred). It's a life-changing journey I have had the privilege to accompany many clients on.

Starting therapy can be challenging and experiencing anxiety at the onset is normal. Therapy is a process and it takes a bit of time to be able to get to the place where you can feel comfortable opening up and sharing your story. We understand what it means to start this journey. Every effort on our part will be made to make you feel accepted, validated, and supported with the issues you bring. We will help you to recover from such issues as anxiety, depression, trauma, post-traumatic stress, addictions, attachment issues, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship issues, work related stress, and family problems.

I offer both a holistic and personalized approach meeting different individual needs. I understand and respect different aspects that may contribute to one’s mental health and life challenges.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental, client centered therapeutic space for individuals and couples. I believe that a journey towards healing requires empathy, encouragement and supportive facilitation as we often haven't had the opportunity to learn ways to cope with traumatic experiences and life related stressors. This can result in dysregulation and feelings of anxiety, depression and overwhelm in our day to day lives and relationships. Let's work together to explore and address your concerns in an open minded, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, sex/body positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive space.

Clients I work really well with are interested in collaborating and brainstorming about the challenging situations and difficulties in their lives. Overtime, we work together to develop understanding and solutions. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who suffer from ADHD or are impacted by someone who has ADHD. Of course clients with ADHD also often have co-morbid conditions like anxiety, depression and PTSD; I am very happy to help them with the issues related to these problems as well. Also, I enjoy completing complex psychological assessments; I find them challenging in a very good way.
