If you’re an 80s, 90s, or early 00s kid who followed societal and cultural rules, yet still didn’t find the happiness or stability you were promised, I may be the right therapist for you. You may be navigating identity, culture, belonging, neurodivergence, or major life transitions while feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure you’re “enough.” I bring my lived, professional, and educational experience to help you make sense of what’s happening, align your values with your actions, and build a life that feels meaningful. As a self-proclaimed nerd, I’m always happy to weave in your favourite shows, games, or anime.

On paper, you are reliable and ambitious. But internally, you feel like you're running on a treadmill that never stops. You don’t just need to "vent"; you need a strategy. For couples, the spark has been replaced by repetitive conflict or silent drift. Hi, I’m Martín. I specialize in strengthening the two most critical connections: with your partner, and with yourself. I help individuals build self-worth based on who they are, not just what they do, and provide couples a practical roadmap to navigate communication breakdowns and find their way back to one another.

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.
