Life Coaching Therapists in Oakville, ON
I will do my best to answer your questions and facilitate your understanding to assist with well-being in your life.
Are you feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed? Do you think that life has not been fair and you suffer from emotional pain/guilt? Are you looking for answers/solutions for your mental or physical illness? For 20 years I have been working with clients helping them with their unique life story. My therapy opens up the understanding of physical/mental disorder and integrates what has been rejected in your life. One client understood the circumstances that manifested a tumor and decided to continue her life without it. She actually started to appreciate her life and stopped blaming her parents for her upbringing.

So, if you want more intimacy, more energy, more pleasure and more passion in bed and in life send me an email to set up a free 30-minute discovery and see if I would be a good fit to support you!.
Is there something missing from your sex life? Is it all you thought it would be? Do you want more intimacy? More pleasure? Passion? Desire? We are not born knowing how to have great sex or develop healthy relationships. Nothing could be further from the truth! Sex and romantic relationships are both an art and a skillset developed through experience, and also through support and guidance. In my practice, I aim to help you to learn and understand how to create a sex life filled with pleasure and intimacy rather than shame, fear, or performance anxiety.

I know you want answers to questions about your struggles, when things are not lining up in your life as you hoped they would.
I love people. I rejoice with them when they do well and "hold their hand" in support when they struggle through various and varying challenges of life. Life happens, and it happens to everyone, including me. However, we each have different baselines at which we manage stressful situations. It is during these tough times you need a listening ear and someone trained and experienced to guide you through this turbulence. This is who I am; this is what I do. I believe in treating the holistic person, mentally, emotionally, physiologically and spiritually.

I’m here to support you in taking the next steps towards the life you deserve.
Are you tired of suffering in silence? As a man, you may feel uncomfortable thinking or talking about your feelings. From challenges in your relationships and your career to feelings of self-doubt, you may find yourself feeling disconnected from how you want to show up in your life. Life’s stressors can have you acting in ways that you don’t feel good about at the end of the day. By talking it out, you can find calm in the chaos, and develop new ways of coping. As a male therapist who understands how men have been conditioned to suppress their feelings, I invite you to explore those emotions in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

Let's work together to develop the tools you need to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling to navigate life's challenges? Too often we believe that our downfalls define us, rather than guide us and illuminate a path of learning and becoming. We feel alone as we mask our imperfections to morph into a world we believe rewards otherwise. Yet, in our loneliness lives an unspoken unity because we each carry the weight of our mask. I understand the complexity of emotions that arise in difficult times. If you're seeking to understand and manage your emotions, you've got to the right place. I'm here to help.

Therapy is like being tossed a life preserver, dragged to shore and being taught how to swim so that next time you find yourself in the deep end you will have the tools to get you to shore.
No WAIT List! Do you feel like you are struggling, been treading water, floundering for the last few months, maybe even years? Have big life transitions- illness, career, marriage, divorce, care-giving, or just moving from one stage of life to another keep you up at night thinking about the worst case scenario? Do you drag yourself out of bed each day feeling like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, and trying to figure out how you are going to do it all, and do it right? Do you ‘should’ yourself until your brain buzzes with an unending list of things that you aren’t doing and think you 'should' be.
