I have run
men
's groups for nearly 30 years helping
men
become more effective and loving husbands partners, fathers and sons as well as better stewards in their outside world.The aim of this
Men
's Group is to create a context where each
man
is able to be honest, vulnerable and feel safe enough to speak his previously undisclosed inner truth in the presence of other supportive
men
, and to feel and show emotions other than anger. A place where
men
can feel their deepest emotions - laugh and cry and restore a true brotherhood.

As a gay
man
, my own journey has included anxiety, depression, addiction and recovery, and I know how much courage it takes to reach out for help.
How you connect with your therapist will be the most important factor in determining how you make progress in therapy. This bond and comfort to share personal information should start to build from the first meeting. With that in mind, I will provide a supportive, non-judgemental environment from which you can explore what is important to you. I have extensive training and experience (12 years counsellor; 9 years social worker, in hospitals, community settings and private practice) providing effective treatment for adult individuals, couples, groups, and supervising other therapists.

Let's make you stand tall and feel like the
man
you've always known yourself to be.
Are you trying to get back with your girlfriend? Did you do something that got you dumped, and you don't know why you did it? Did you do everything for her and got nothing back? Or are you in a relationship and can't decide whether to leave or not. What happened to my sexual desire? Is she hot enough? Am I happy where I am now? I'm young, and I want to have more sex. Do I watch too much porn? What should I do? Are you also lost in life? You want to have a meaningful career, doing the things you love, but why can't I get out off the couch?

I have considerable experience working in the corporate world and am a gay
man
.
Sorry, NO longer accepting new clients; currently inactive. We're all on a journey to become our best selves... but most of us can't accomplish that alone. Therapy helps people who are stuck in their suffering break through to more satisfying ways of being and ways of relating to others. I can help you develop greater mastery in addressing a wide variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem and shame, stress, grief/bereavement, relationship dissatisfaction, sexual identity, substance use, and lack of purpose or meaning in life.

I specialize in
men
’s issues pertaining to addiction, depression, anger, trauma, and relationships.
Growing up in a culture that makes it hard to open up about struggles at the risk of being judged, especially as a
man
, I understand that a lot of people can dismiss the ways in which therapy can empower us to take control of and find new meaning in our lives. At the same time, I have also seen many people become dependent on therapy, and reliant on “experts” to tell them how to live. My success as a healer depends on helping you achieve your goals in the fastest time possible so you don’t waste your time and money. “Fire” me ASAP.

Guys have way more going on emotionally than most of us are comfortable talking about. If you have never talked to someone about whatever it is that you probably should talk to someone about, then I may be the guy for you. Some
men
come to my office after they've recently broken up with their girlfriend (or she has broken up with him). Some are dealing with anxiety or are living under the influence of depression. Some guys are trying to figure out who they really are and what to do with their life. What they all have in common is that they have strengths to draw on and want to advance in life feeling better than they do now.

Most of my clients are
men
who are intelligent, self-reflective, and successful, but who still somehow feel that something’s missing, or that they haven’t "grown up" in some key way. They are often experiencing some combination of anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, anger, resentment, or relationship problems. I try to create a non-judgmental space for them to feel seen, heard and understood. It’s important for
men
to share their struggles, fears and shames with other caring and supportive
men
. This goes against a lot of our cultural conditioning but it helps us to feel that we’re not alone and that we’re actually okay.

The emotional tension that professional women and
men
often experience can occur in relation to family, colleagues, or career.
Executives, lawyers, doctors, and high-achievers in all professions can, paradoxically, feel at a loss when faced with emotional conflicts or personal difficulties. My professional background in law, business, and psychotherapy gives me the credentials and skills required to assist you in understanding and resolving issues that may prove problematic in your professional or personal life.
I have a Master of Therapeutic Counselling and I graduated from the one of the leading psychotherapy training institutions in North America--The Centre for Training in Psychotherapy (www.ctp.net), Toronto, Ontario.

Navigating your way through life can feel lonely, especially for
men
who are reluctant to reach out and connect with support services.
My approach is eclectic, best summed up as philosophically-grounded, psychoanalytically-oriented, mindfulness-based, trauma-informed and co-active. I work with individuals and couples who are looking to live more freely and love more fully. They may be experiencing a lack of motivation, relationship difficulties, or conflict within themselves that leads them to feel stuck. They need time and space to figure out who they really are and what they're all about, so they can move more confidently through life, with a greater sense of purpose and commitment. Ultimately, they want to realize their full potential.

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. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
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 a male therapist. 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, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. 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.
