Therapy can help you step off the treadmill of unresolvable conflicts or challenging thoughts and feelings. If you're ready to try something new, let's talk. I'm a clinical psychologist, retired professor (of psychology and neuroscience), and author of books on addiction. In session, we can explore the difficulties you’re having in your day-to-day life and figure out what's causing them. My style of therapy goes inside gently but deeply, to help you reconfigure your feelings and behavioural habits. I sometimes combine my psychotherapeutic methods with meditation techniques that can open up and refresh our inner worlds.

We’ll work well together if you’re ready to move beyond blame and see the bigger picture of your relationships. You know the issue isn’t just you or them, it’s the dance itself. You’re curious about recurring patterns, emotional reactions, and how to show up differently without losing yourself. You’re willing to learn from challenges rather than just trying to fix the other person. If you’re drawn to thinkers like Esther Perel or David Schnarch, or just fascinated by relationships, you already know that real growth comes through challenge.

Choosing the right therapist for yourself can feel daunting. A trusting therapeutic relationship is the single most important factor in successful outcomes. Meeting face-to-face is the best way to tell whether a therapist is the right fit for you. I provide an initial 30-minute consult free-of-charge to help you make an informed choice. My psychodynamic approach is client-centred and strengths-based. This is complemented with a variety of evidence-based techniques to help build positive change in the present, while engaging in your quest for healthier relationships with loved ones, and most importantly, yourself.

We all need someone to talk to, to help us through difficult times. Whether we have overwhelming issues in the present, or traumas from our past, we need someone to help us make sense of them - and to stick with us through the hard emotions that come with them. As a relational psychotherapist I believe that to get through life, and live life to its fullest, we need to deeply talk with someone. We do not need judgement. We need understanding, compassion, and we need to know we matter.

I delight in the uniqueness and complexity of each individual. Holding space for personal work, reflection and deepening of awareness is a gift and honor that I hold dear. I feel it's important to make room for the unfolding intentionality of each person through body mind heart and soul. I tend to support experiences around development, grief, queerness, sexuality and spirituality with great tenderness. I look forward to learning from the people who I meet in my practice as I adapt to how they experience being supported.

Growing up in a society and culture that can make it hard to open up about problems, we can miss how professional help can empower us to tackle our addictions, heal anxiety and anger, and create fulfilling relationships by overcoming our insecurities and learning how to argue better. I have always been interested in deeply exploring how to be a more confident person who I can respect with healthier habits, being strong in my mind and heart, and being more capable of handling conflict within my relationships and family so that I can have a fulfilling life.

I am not accepting new clients for long term therapy. If I have worked with you before you may contact me for a consultation or brief therapy. If others need short term therapy or a consultation I am available. I am also available for supervision. I work with adults who believe that they are stuck in old patterns. These unhealthy or unsafe patterns from the past often lead to depression and anxiety in the present. In a safe and caring environment, we will work to help you change those aspects of yourself that are getting in the way of your having a more fulfilling life.

I have worked in the mental health field for almost 10 years prior to starting my journey as a psychotherapist. Through this, I learned the importance of building a collaborative therapeutic relationship. It is my belief that each of us possesses the innate qualities for healing, and working together we can find the ones that work best for you. Working from a strengths-based lens, I seek to center each individual’s unique qualities and capacity for change to support them in finding individualized solutions to their problems.

What makes therapy work? Collaboration, trust and partnership - whether you are new to therapy or have done it before. We will work together to pick a path so you can achieve what you want out of this. There are different methods to get there, and because of that I practice in an integrative way. I will base my approach on your own experience and what I think might fit best. I've learned that when therapy works, people start to understand where their thoughts and emotions come from. This leads to behaviour change, which sometimes happens naturally or can be helped with learning some skills.

In our lives, we often find ourselves stuck. We find it difficult to stop thinking, feeling, or behaving in ways that are no longer useful. Our interpretations of past experiences, beliefs about ourselves, others and the world, can sometimes hold us back from enjoying the present and imagining a better future. We want things to change but are uncertain how to change them. We need time, space, and guidance to transform ourselves and forge a new path. As a psychotherapist, I help facilitate your journey and guide you towards your personal goals by empowering you to remove emotional and psychological roadblocks.

The unknown can feel overwhelming. You may be facing a major life transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, managing ADHD, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Identity questions, trauma, relationship challenges, or the stress of daily life can leave you wondering, “Why do I feel this way?” or “Where do I go from here?” This uncertainty can cloud self-worth, impact relationships, and strain your ability to function. My clients often seek clarity, healing, and tools to feel more grounded, connected, and authentically themselves.

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.

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 therapists of a specific gender. 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. 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.
