Are thoughts and feelings holding you back? What if you could bring out more fully and consistently who you are at your best?
The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach involves identifying personal values, identifying unworkable actions (including ineffective attempts at control and avoidance), growth in mindful practice, self-compassion, and acceptance, and the implementation of behavioural tools to help you make moves in everyday life toward a life filled with meaning. This is an evidence-based third-wave CBT approach that better respects the complexities of the holistic human experience.

Overwhelmed? Not where you want to be? Feeling misunderstood or alone in your struggles? Does something in your past have you stuck or is limiting your future? Whatever it may be, I’d love to hear more about your situation and explore where you'd like things to be. I provide a comfortable environment and work hard to restore connections to what’s most important in your life. I'm highly motivated to uproot experiences of fear and "not being good enough" so you can become more free and connected. Beyond the use of evidence-based treatments, what I prize most is to value you as a person and partner with you to overcome any obstacle.

In almost all of lifes circumstances we're either mourning something that did happen to us or feeling incomplete because of something that didn't. Oftentimes,
the result of of this suffering makes us feel as though we have no choices in life, which makes it grueling to navigate through day-to-day life. If you feel as though emotions control your life, that you are stuck on survival mode, that you are lost, or that you have disconnected from your needs, I can help. My role as your therapist begins by establishing a mutual committment to transparency, honesty, & responsibility. Confronting reality is the only path towards change...

You're not reading this because things are "fine." You're here because something's wrong - anxiety that won't stop, relationships that feel harder than they should, or a version of yourself you can't quite reach. My clients are people who want more than a sounding board - they want a therapist who helps them work through the mess, turn confusion into clarity and struggle into growth. Therapy isn’t just about talking — it’s about making change.

Are you thinking that something needs to change? Do you feel a little tired, scared, hurt or fed up? Are there meaningful things in your life that aren't working out right now? Is it time you stood up, and took on, what has been heavy on your mind or heart? I have worked with hundreds of individuals, couples and families who have faced challenges and transitions that many of us experience at some time in our lives.

It's heartbreaking to watch your child or teen struggle. As a parent or guardian, you know your child best, and can clearly see when they are hurting. Luckily, they have shared a little about their experience, but you still feel uncertain about their needs- powerless to do anything to help them. It just feels like things will never change. They have so much potential, and you would hate to see them miss it.

“People start to heal, the moment they are heard.” Belonging, Affirmation/Validation and Trust are the pillars of the space I hold for clients. I believe that when our lives are disrupted and we feel overwhelmed by the circumstances we face, it's helpful to have a place to share our feelings, concerns and experiences safely. From that place of safety, we can create a plan together and move towards becoming more cohesive and balanced.

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.
