Seeking help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. Life at times can be very demanding and can cause us to feel hopeless, stressed, depressed and defeated. This is a safe place where those individuals esp. Men can come to express, explore and process all feelings and behaviors. Taking the step to becoming a better you is never easy, as change can take some time getting used to. I like to consider getting started with this journey a major accomplishment, as you have proceeded to become whole again.

I have discovered in my 30+ years as a therapist that when we get stuck in a certain way of feeling, thinking, or behaving which interferes with our happiness, it is usually rooted in a past historyor perhaps a singular past experience, which traps us in a "programmed" way of being. I work with people to liberate them from these patterns which are often ways that the brain processes these experiences and when they can be reprocessed a person can have a much more functional and happy life. Anxiety, depression and relationship dysfunction can often be healed using these principals.

I help clients work through the challenges that come with anxiety, low mood, anger, lack of focus, feeling 'stuck', harsh repeating thoughts, relationship and career issues, and living without JOY! So much happens in our life that can distort how we see ourself, others and the events around us. Talking through our struggles helps us to see them in a new way, with added clarity and reason. From there we work together to find new interpretations, solutions and peace. My special interest is in supporting individuals who struggle with recognizing their self worth and their own unique ability to cope with life's ups and downs.

Life can present you with all kinds of challenges and you do not need to face them alone. Aside from the treatment of mental illness, people attend therapy for many different reasons: to cope with a sudden loss or traumatic event, to learn how to better communicate in their relationships, to explore feelings following a divorce or another big life change, to manage work stress and more. Everyone’s story is different, and I am here to listen to yours. As a therapist, I strive to create a caring and accepting environment. I believe that everyone has the ability to improve their life, build resilience, and find happiness.

Self-Harming Therapists
How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.
Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
