Hi I'm Patrick, a therapist who helps men break free from the grip of porn addiction and rebuild a healthy, confident relationship with themselves and others. Porn can start as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, or pain -but over time, it can lead to shame, secrecy, and disconnection. I provide a non-judgmental, honest space where we can explore what’s really driving the habit and work toward lasting change. Together, we’ll focus on understanding your triggers, healing the deeper emotional wounds beneath them, and restoring your capacity for real intimacy, purpose, and self-control.
As a therapist, I specialize in addiction, self-esteem, relationship issues and anxiety. Real change happens when we understand the emotional patterns that keep you stuck and learn new ways to respond to stress and desire. In our work together, you’ll develop practical tools to manage urges, rebuild self-trust, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, I get it. I’m here to make it feel a little easier. If you’re curious about working together, I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can chat, get a feel for fit, and talk through what support might look like for you. Just send me an email or give me a call. Let’s figure it out together.

Our sessions will be collaborative and tailored to your pace. I'll help you explore patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build tools that feel practical and real. We might dive into the past, but we'll always stay connected to what's happening now and where you want to go next. Expect honest reflection, humour where it fits, and a space where you don't have to have it all figured out.
