Alcohol Use Therapists in St Thomas, ON

As a Christian Therapist with specialized training in psychotherapy, I have seen men and women of faith struggle with anxiety, depression, relational conflicts, PTSD, addictions, etc. I've heard them question God’s love and presence in their lives. There is no denying that life can get messy sometimes! However, one thing I have come to know as true, as a Christian and in my almost 20 years of working with people is that, "The Lord uses Everything in our lives to bring about His purposes." Let's look at Jonah for example; we read that the Lord 'caused' a large fish to swallow him after he attempted to run away from his calling.

I help people struggling with anxiety/depression develop strategies to help them feel even 1% better/less stressed day by day. Client's have told me that thinking about their wellness journey in these smaller 1% steps is less overwhelming. Those 1%'s will start to add up! I am easy to talk to and down to earth. If you aren't sure what happens in therapy, give me a call! I would be happy to explain the process to you. The consultation is a great time to do a quick "vibe check" to see if we click and if you like my approach. If I am not the right fit for you, I will help connect you to someone who can help you!

Everyone has worse days, and it is okay not to know what to do or how to make a change in your life. I am here to help you find the light when you feel stuck in darkness. Like a light post, I will help guide you with compassion, non-judgment, and care to a place where your pain is transformed into peace. I have been working with people in the most difficult times of their lives for 15 years. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, your relationship, your peers/parents, your health, your body, trauma, intimacy, substance or behavioral addictions, I am here to help you create change in the direction you want.

Most of us men have been taught that we have to manage things by ourselves. To hide our feelings. Or we don't have feelings. Guess what that leads to? Anger, irritability, relationship issues, work problems, and trouble connecting with our kids, friends, and partners. Maybe drinking too much and checking out, too. Or cheating on our partner, because it's easier than trying to figure out what's going on at home. Maybe you don't even realize how bad things have gotten until your partner tells you that you "can't communicate", you're messing up, and now you have no idea what to do and you're defensive and confused.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, grief? Did you grow up in a family that couldn't offer you emotional support due to immigration issues, substance abuse or other factors? Sometimes you feel lost, confused, that you don't belong? Perhaps your religious background was a factor in your feeling alone, lost or shameful and you feel also the weight of your BIPOC experience. You worked hard, and succeeded in many areas but still feel challenged by life and relationships. You may also be neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD). If that's you, I have the training and experience to help you.

Sometimes men are great at pretending everything's fine – even when life is falling apart. Trying to carry the weight of the world all by yourself is a sure path to depression, anger issues, self-medicating, lashing out, and increased stress and physical symptoms. Whether you're trying to figure out what your partner wants (what does she mean by "communicate better" anyway?), or you're needing to talk through personal, work, or family issues, I can help you get to a better place. If you're worried that you're the only one, don't. There is literally nothing you can tell me that I haven't heard or worked with before.

As human beings we may feel lost/stuck due to painful or challenging life experiences. This can impact our ability to live our lives fully. I am passionate about working with individuals who have concerns around stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, grief, and life transitions/work-life balance. Support may look different for each person, while some may want to focus on building coping strategies, others may seek a deeper healing process. One of our first steps will be building awareness of your needs, the change you want in your life and identifying your goals to make this change possible.

Do you ever wonder why you struggle to feel happy? Or notice feelings of resentment? Do you feel overwhelmed with roles, responsibilities, and a to-do list? And underwhelmed with life? You want to feel grateful for what you have. You want to make yourself a priority, but somehow, what you want doesn't seem to matter. You are not alone. Managing self-care, the dynamics of relationships, parenting, and a professional life can easily feel out of balance. Add medical stress, a child with special needs, co-parenting challenges, and/or workplace stress. Perhaps you notice anxiety, fear, or repetitive patterns that you long to change.

Maybe the ways you have tried before have failed you, or only lasted a little while. Take a breath- you're in the right spot and we are going to help you transform.

Everything that we do is a habit that developed based on our experiences in the past. From the moment we are born, we learn how to be in this world and how to be a person. When we are struggling or suffering, and some things are hard and challenging in our lives, whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma or addiction, or things we wish we could change, it’s because we've learned a way of being that is now a habit that can be hard to change. But we are whole, exactly as we are! The changes we make are in how we relate to the experiences and events in our lives and, most importantly, to ourselves.
