Life can be brutal: the past haunts, interferes with the present and imperils the future. Counseling is a place to pause, reflect, and begin again. I believe there are no “bad” parts to people. Even the painful or overwhelming parts are trying, in their own way, to protect you. In counseling, we make space for all these parts to be seen and understood, while reconnecting with your deeper Self, that steady presence at the centre of it all. Therapy is not about reducing you to your struggles but about discovering new and practical ways to live more fully.
I know what it’s like to struggle with the gap between good intentions and lasting change. I meet you where you are with curiosity, empathy, and deep listening. People tell me I make the overwhelming feel manageable, that I share insights without forcing them, and that I bring a touch of humour where it helps. Above all, I want you to feel safe.
Interests: Addiction (substances and behaviours, particularly sex and porn); stress and anxiety management, both cognitive and as body-oriented modalities such as Tension/ Trauma Release Exercise; men’s issues: identity, isolation, and relational challenges; existential concerns: meaning, values, and mortality, the deep melancholy in necessary suffering

Addiction: Establishing motivation for change then creating a life worth staying clean for with a multidimensional and personally relevant recovery plan. Existential: an excavation of meaning making and broadening the narrative. Men's stuff: The adventure of emotional awareness, identity, relationships and self-worth. Trauma/ Tension Release Exercise is an added bonus for anxiety management.

Evidence-based theory underscores treatment success, yet so does deep connection. Your experience might be to explore life events that have brought you here, to understand a kernel of pain, or you might be seeking coaching towards way forward. I foster appreciation of where you are at without judgment and in so doing free your energy up for positive living in line with your values.
