Through a combination of education and both lived and professional experience, I specialize in individual and family support for addictions, concurrent disorders and substance use issues. Client goals could range from wanting to cut out substance use all together, harm reduction, or exploring reasons behind substance use or process addictions. Clients could also include family members or others with close relationships to afflicted individuals who may need their own support.

You might be struggling with the emotional aftermath of trauma, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or experiencing a deep sense of disconnection in your relationships. These issues can create patterns of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and difficulty expressing your needs. Whether past trauma continues to affect your present, anxiety is holding you back, or your relationships feel unfulfilling, you may find yourself wanting more—more clarity, connection, and peace of mind. As a therapist specializing in EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer approaches designed to heal emotional wounds and foster self-compassion.

As a therapist specializing in EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer approaches designed to heal emotional wounds and foster self-compassion.

In therapy, I work with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, life transitions, racial and cultural issues, family and interpersonal relationships.
Life often sends things our way we feel unprepared for, which can make us feel stuck, scared, or lost. Psychotherapy can help to develop the skills to navigate through what we cannot expect. Recognizing the cultural differences in acknowledging mental health, it is important for me to provide a space for all individuals to explore their challenges and overcome their obstacles. To me, therapy is about self-awareness and healing. It takes a lot of courage to seek help, and I admire your first step into this unknown. By seeking support, you have already taken the first vital step towards self-growth.

Parenting is hard work and having to maintain multiple different relationships within the family is stressful.
I support parents in various relationships who are struggling when it comes to shared parenting. Helping others to facilitate positive co-parenting is a skill that CAN be acquired. I believe in the power of therapy and in empowering people to be the best versions of themselves within a relationship. Parents look for creative ways to solve problems while at the same time supporting a safe place to have hard conversations. Using the conflict resolution approach helps to minimize conflict and achieve greater balance and functioning within the family. Parents need processes that are realistic, obtainable and can be maintained.

I know that we are all vastly complicated social, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical beings.

I am a cis-gendered, heterosexual male with mixed ethnicity (Black and White) as well as a mixed cultural identity (Bermudian, Canadian, raised in China). My strengths include my ability to create a safe-feeling space, empathetic listening, compassionate speaking, strong intuitive understanding, and acuity at picking up non-verbal clues and connecting dots.

I also grew up in a traumatized and addicted family system.
Life transitions are not always smooth and easy, they can often be accompanied by feelings of isolation and anxiety. We are often left to navigate transitions without support and this can diminish our sense of belonging in the world. Reaching out for support and breaking our isolation is a crucial first step in the healing process. Our culture can lead us to believe that self sufficiency and independence are prized qualities, however the deeper truth is we are interdependent beings. Lasting change only happens in relation to the other. Therapy provides the support and ground to explore what is possible even in the midst of your pain

I am an individual, couples and family therapist with over 25 years of experience.
I see people who want better relationships with themselves, those close to them, friends and families. Sometimes people are not quite certain what is getting in the way of having those better relationships and sometimes people know. Often there is some emotional issue, either from the past or one arising in the present that is getting in the way. Many people want to feel more connected, have fewer conflicts in their relationships. In families, sometimes there are emotional patterns or behavioural patterns that are getting in the way of being more connected with each other.

I am skilled in working with clients across a broad range of concerns, including overall mental health, life transition, grief/loss, complex and family trauma, gender and sexuality, and attachment related struggles.
Welcome! I am a queer and gender expansive therapist, offering individual online therapy across most Canadian jurisdictions. I offer a contextualizing, self-compassionate, and strengths based approach. While life's hardships will never disappear, I can help you come to more peace and aliveness within yourself. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and grow within. Therapy is kind of like detangling a big ball of yarn; it can be both hard yet relieving (you're not broken, just tangled!), and ultimately allows room for more consciousness/choice to flow in: now that your threads are free, what would you like to weave?
