Frustrated with hitting the same walls again and again? Can't find the right kind of help? Men are less likely to seek mental health support because they believe it will be ineffective, invasive or belittling. At Cogent, we provide evidence-based psychological assessment and treatment, delivered by a qualified professional in a secure format to get you back on track.

I’ve been practicing for nearly a year and am open to working with a large set of various presenting issues. I work with men who lack a sense of direction or purpose in life and want to find it. In addition, if you want to overcome what’s holding you back and learn to manage stress more productively, I encourage you to reach out.
Male-oriented psychotherapy access is certainly limited and I aim to provide an outlet for men to air their concerns in a way they can relate to so that they can create a life that they are truly capable of manifesting.

Reaching out for help takes courage and finding the right therapist can be daunting. As a highly empathetic and collaborative therapist, I understand the importance of a good fit and treat each client as a unique individual and expert on their own life. I trust that, with support, you can feel empowered enough to tackle your challenge, whether that be managing an overwhelming situation or symptoms of anxiety or depression, clearing unwanted patterns, resolving past issues, or perhaps finding a deeper sense of life purpose. As a highly sensitive person, I can also help fellow HSPs better understand and work with their unusual traits.

My approach is client-centered, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed, which means I adjust my methods to suit the client I am working with.

"A difficult life is not less worth living than a gentle one. Joy is simply easier to carry than sorrow." This quote from poet Andrea Gibson perfectly captures my approach to working with other humans. I am a firm believer that therapists are not experts, but people trained and devoted to safely sharing the burden of bearing sorrow, grief, and emotional wounds. It may seem impossible to find meaning in the context of the experiences you have lived, but together we can breathe through it all and find a way to continue moving through life.

Have you tried talk therapy but still feel "stuck"? Are you looking for therapy that integrates body, spirit, mind, and helps you feel your wholeness? Somatic therapy is a body-based, trauma-centered approach that goes beyond talking. Through experiential practices and bodywork, we gently reshape nervous system survival patterning (trauma) that loops in our bodies. This process can help us build a sense of home in our bodies and our world so we can feel and experience our aliveness. This work is gentle and attachment-focused, drawing from arts, play, spirituality, compassionate, nature-based, queer, and decolonial approaches.

When living with complex illness it is important to understand the dynamic relationship between physical and mental health. Counselling can support people managing a new diagnosis, navigating life transitions, or struggling in relationships. It provides time and space to prioritize personal wellbeing with compassionate guidance. I am trained in EMDR- a trauma therapy- and specialize in supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, neurodiversity, and complex health concerns. I use skills from DBT and nervous system regulation to help you cope with stress and self-advocate effectively.
