People encounter problems in their lives and come into relationship with them. Sometimes problems stay around longer than people would like - sometimes even long enough that they start to see themselves as the problem. My approach follows the narrative therapy practice of externalizing and examining problems so that we can reveal their histories, their impacts, and also the ways you have resisted their unwanted influence on your life. This approach focuses on the active role you play in pursuing the life that you want, as well as the people and things that support you in that pursuit.

Are you navigating the age old question of “who am I?” Perhaps you walk around with the idea that there is something wrong with you or you're fundamentally flawed. Maybe you’re trying to make sense of your messed up past or childhood. You may beat yourself up for being: not enough, wrong or bad. You may deal with outbursts of anger or be a chronic people pleaser. Perhaps you feel you’re being “too much," your emotions are "too big for the situation," or you may just not even understand them. You’re looking for someone to do the deeper work with – you don’t want fluff, you want to figure yourself out. Let’s do just that.

Socrates famously said, “the unexamined life is not worth living.” The examined life provides meaning to life, understanding oneself to understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to examine client’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and how they influence their anxiety, depression, relationships, core values, and underlying assumptions. I offer diverse life experiences that provide unique insights into client’s issues. Together we can work towards your ideal life.

My specialties involve helping men and women who have experienced childhood trauma, and/or who have diagnosed or suspected BPD, to begin to regulate their nervous systems, tune into their physical body, and to take back control of their lives.
You are constantly walking on eggshells. Always on high alert, your highly sensitive brain is always scanning other people's expressions to make sure everything is okay. You over-apologize, over-explain, over-share or disconnect and push your emotions deep down. You feel different - too emotional, too “much”. A sense of loneliness and longing for something you can’t describe looms in the background of everything you do. No matter what you try the feeling that there’s “something wrong with you” just won’t let up. You try to feel better - you have journaled, meditated, tried therapy, medication, breathwork…but nothing helps for long

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.
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 therapists of a specific gender. 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. 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.
