I focus heavily on your individual values and helping you discover a meaning-centered life. I believe that therapies and the therapeutic relationship are as unique as the individual, while one style may suit you, it may not suit others. I am mindful of each individual who walks through the door.

I counsel because I have experienced the joy and freedom of life-changing healing myself, and I love the opportunity to walk with other people down their own path of healing. Life throws us many twists and turns that are unpredictable so it helps to have someone to help guide us through these times. I enjoy listening to people share their stories and being invited to take part in the story. I love to work with couples, families and individuals to help them achieve their goals.

In today's fast-paced world, it's common to feel stressed or anxious. Lingering bad experiences and fear of uncertain future outcomes can contribute to this distressing mindset. Seeking help from a professional is important for addressing these issues when what you tried before didn't help. En este mundo tan acelerado es común sentirse estresado or ansioso. Cargar con memorias o experiencias del pasado que no hemos podido superar suele ser muy desgastante para nuestra mente. Por ello, buscar ayuda profesional para trabajar en cualquiera de estos u otros asuntos se vuelve una opción, cuando lo antes intentado no ha mejorado nada.

I believe that all people harbour significant potential for intimacy and compassion towards themselves and others. Grief, betrayal, trauma, stress, and abuse are becoming part of everyday reality. Without support, they may lead to helplessness, depression, anxiety, addictions, or unhelpful coping strategies that inhibit their true potential. Over the past two decades of my professional career and my training in psychotherapy, I learned that the best path forward comes from within. Healing becomes within reach with the help of a trained professional and confidant who can listen, relate, and gently guide you as you navigate forward.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck, whether in dissatisfying relationships, weighed down by past trauma, making significant life transitions, or experiencing persistent anxiety or depressed mood? Does it feel like no matter what you do, or how you try to change, it’s the same old story? Many people can’t help but feel frustrated, lost, and hopeless when faced with these kinds of struggles, and don’t know where to turn.

I believe that clients deserve to be heard and understood as individuals, and that treatment should be flexibly tailored to meet their needs and goals. Rather than adopting a “one size fits all” approach to therapy, clients who choose to work with me will find that I create a highly collaborative therapeutic environment where they can learn customized strategies for addressing life's challenges, promoting personal growth, and enhancing well-being. I enjoy working with adults, couples and adolescents looking for guidance and support with their goals.

I specialize in helping people who are struggling with addiction issues and/or anxiety and mood disorders. I really enjoy working with ‘stuck’ clients. Those people who know they want or need change but aren’t sure how to get there. You are not broken, and you do not need to be fixed. You might be feeling a little lost though. Let me serve as a guide to walk with you and show you some possible ways out. You don't need to commit to any long term therapy or all the 'what ifs' at this point. All you need to do is reach out and make that first connection. Let's have a conversation about what's going on.

Life can sometimes be tricky to navigate. One day you're feeling great, and the next everything comes crashing down. Seeing a therapist during stressful times can provide a fresh perspective, and someone to listen when you need to talk things out. Also, you don't have to wait until things are bad to see someone! Getting to know yourself better and growing your confidence when things are going okay in your life can really help to keep you feeling strong when life throws you a curveball. I offer therapy for a number of different situations, from personal growth, anxiety, depression or grief, to queer specific challenges.

Male Counsellors

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
