Loss, Grief, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Life transitions, Parenting Challenges and Relationship Conflicts impact self-esteem, identity and overall well- being. I support clients to make sense of their journey and to understand how their past experiences can influence their present challenges. I apply a person-centered approach in supporting both individuals and couples. My goal is to support you to learn new ways of coping, gain perspective on your life and develop insights that empower you to take the next steps on your path towards healing.

Many people spend vast amounts of time and money getting an education, obtaining a driver’s license, planning a wedding, or achieving their dream job, but few people are willing to spend the same amount of time and money investing in understanding themselves, knowing their values, and determining how to choose a partner who is a good match for them. By educating ourselves about who we are and what we really want in our lives, we increase the possibility of living happier lives.

It takes courage to be vulnerable and it can be uncomfortable to discuss your difficulties with a therapist. Whether you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, a new experience, or seeking meaningful change, I would be happy to help. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a warm and supportive atmosphere so that we can explore new insights in an open and non-judgmental space. Regardless of your reasons for coming to therapy, it is important for me that we work together to determine your goals and priorities. I offer evidence-based therapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

There are times in our lives when we are in need of change, and the way we think, feel, or behave no longer serves us. I work with people who are aware of their issues and have a strong drive in addressing them. No matter what your reasons are for seeking therapy, I provide a client-centered, empathetic, authentic, and accepting place where you can feel safe to be yourself as you share your thoughts and feelings. Collaboratively, we will work together, at your pace, as we figure out how we could navigate and move past your reasons for seeking therapy.

Your well-being and personal growth are my focus. I create a safe space for open expression and healing, and I'm here to help you navigate your personal journey. I firmly believe that every individual is unique, with their own stories, strengths, and challenges. My approach is centered around your needs and aspirations. Through empathetic listening and a non-judgmental attitude, I aim to truly understand your perspective. Together, we will explore the dynamics that shape your life, identifying patterns that either strengthen or hinder your personal growth.

Are you feeling disconnected to yourself, loved ones, or society? Do you question whether you are a good father, son, or partner? Do you feel angry, stuck, overwhelmed, powerless, guilty, or "not normal". Many men struggle with their mental health without seeking help or reaching out for support. Often, this struggle may lead to addiction, anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, suicidal ideation, poor relationships, grief, low self-esteem, or low self-worth. First Step Men's Therapy offers a safe, warm, and inviting space for men to heal, learn, and grow. Book a free consultation today by clicking the "Website" button to learn more.

We all face moments when life feels overwhelming, and we feel stuck and cannot seem to find a way out or a way forward. No matter what life challenges you are facing, you don't need to suffer alone and fight in solitude anymore.

I will walk with you on your journey of growth, self-discovery, and resilience to live your most fulfilled life.

Through years of life transitions—moving countries, different jobs—I have discovered first-hand how essential selfcare is. As your therapist, I offer a space where you can explore what selfcare means for you as you move through the challenges of life transitions, relationships, work related stress, social anxiety or existential crises. I believe our brains and body store a lot of information and wisdom and we are consciously or subconsciously making decisions which help us move through the world.

Many of us have life experiences that dramatically transform how we see ourselves and shake up our worlds. They may be relationship breakdowns, major traumas, the loss of a family pet, becoming a parent, or receiving a life-changing diagnosis. Any of these challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed and oftentimes isolated - know that you are not alone. My role is to help you to feel heard, make sense of difficult experiences, as well as teach you strategies to cope with distressing thoughts and emotions that accompany trauma and anxiety. Together we can work towards reconnecting you with who you are and the life you wish to lead.
