Young adulthood is a complicated stage of life. The independence is exciting, but there is so much pressure to have your future ‘figured out’. Although there is a lot of advice out there, you need to make your own, authentic path. Therapy should be about discovering what is important to you and then working towards those values. Even when the world around us can feel hopeless at times, I can help you figure out where your path may lead.

I am accepting treatment clients to work with a masters-level provider, under my direct supervision only. Sometimes, life just deals you a really hard hand. Many people often find themselves feeling hurt, confused, scared, ashamed, depressed, anxious, hopeless as a response to life’s challenges. Sometimes, we become overwhelmed by our thoughts and feelings and are unsure how to move forward to find comfort or answers. Psychotherapy offers you a safe relationship to better understand yourself and what you are going through. I create a warm and nonjudgmental environment for you to explore your hopes, dreams, fears, and challenges.

**Accepting New Clients** I believe that the pain each man goes through is unique to his issues but is not dissimilar from the pain other men experience. Most men are taught about what feelings are acceptable to feel and in what situations it is acceptable to feel them. This can lead to men hearing phrases such as “toughen up”, “be strong” or “don’t cry”. Some men will say “I’m alright” when answering questions about their well being when they really aren’t “alright”. I believe such phrases and answers must be challenged. Every man deserves to be heard and have his feelings acknowledged. Together, we will work towards that goal.

My philosophy of treatment is to listen deeply to what has happened. I ask pertinent questions, not to judge what you have experienced, but to assist me in understanding what has happened and how it is affecting you now. We will embark on a journey together to unravel the reasons and answers that have eluded you so far. I use a client-centred approach, which means that you are the expert and I am the assistant. I will not try to fix you, but together, we will deconstruct what has happened and work towards creating the outcomes that you want.

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 feels like things will never change. They have so much potential, and you would hate to see them miss it.

Adults, children, and their families are continuing to cope with tremendous stress since the pandemic, and this sometimes shows up in mood and anxiety issues that may not resolve on their own. You may have noticed an increase in concern for the mental well-being of yourself and those most important to you. Moreover, if you have experienced trauma, grief, family discord or other big life challenges, knowing what to do and how to heal gets overwhelming, no matter how recent these events occurred. Clients are typically looking to relieve emotional distress, resolve difficult circumstances, and find hope even when it seems far away.

I now have availability for in-person sessions in a well-ventilated space.
Many issues which bring people to psychotherapy stem from painful past learning, whether serious trauma or abuse or "normal" childhood events such as being bullied. Therefore, I have sought training in techniques designed to be efficient and to minimize the time and discomfort involved in the change process. I have completed training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, EMDR, the Flash technique, Mindfulness and clinical hypnosis, among other techniques. I have also recently taken online courses from Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and Dr. Eric Gentry to deepen my understanding of trauma treatment.
