My areas of specialty include PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, self-worth, men's issues, and spirituality.
Accepting new clients! - No waitlist - Trauma, depression, and other mental health issues can often cause individuals to become "stuck" leading to feelings of resignation or hopelessness. It can often feel like the individual is at the bottom of a well which keeps getting deeper, with the light out feeling further and further out of reach. It can lead individuals to believe that there is no path forwards, or that any path forward is one devoid of meaning or fulfillment.

I have over 50 years experience working with people. I especially enjoy working with men who are wanting to get to know themselves better, men for whom feelings and an internal life are somewhat a mystery. These unknowns often contribute to male depression, anger, anxiety or affairs. They also contribute to marital conflicts and problems in communication. It is difficult to communicate what you don't know but what you don't know does influence many aspects of a relationship. I often work with women who are struggling with these men and find ways to help them engage him in therapy with them. I also see individual women.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

Attention "Nice Guys": Are you bending over backwards to please everybody around you, while burying your own needs? Do you walk on eggshells, afraid that somebody's going to get angry or defensive if you make a simple request? Youre smart, driven, and a hard worker, and you often wonder if YOU'RE the problem. But you're really tired of living this way, of never feeling good enough, accomplished enough, and like you have finally earned some rest. You want to be loved, adored, cherished for all that you do and give (which is a lot) - and you technically know that you are, but you often just don't feel it long enough for it to stick

Men's Issues Counsellors
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
