Therapy with me is a space where you don’t need to have the right words or clear answers. We start with whatever’s bringing you in—whether it’s a specific struggle or a general feeling that something isn’t working—and we take it from there. This is a process of change, not a quick fix. Often, the issues we’re facing now are tied to experiences we’ve had before—sometimes in ways we haven’t fully recognized. Together, we’ll work to understand how your past and present connect, how certain patterns keep repeating, and where there might be room for something new.

Psychotherapy with me is a collaborative process where clients are supported in exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and nonjudgmental space. My approach is tailored to each person’s unique needs, drawing on evidence-based methods such as CBT, ACT, and person-centered therapy. Clients benefit from gaining greater self-awareness, learning practical coping strategies, and developing new perspectives that foster growth and resilience. Together, we work toward creating meaningful change, improving emotional well-being, and building a stronger sense of self.

Human behaviour is incredibly complex. Each person has their own unique life experiences, some pleasurable and some emotionally and mentally stressful. Counselling and psychotherapy can be powerful tools for facilitating healing, fostering a deeper understanding of one's life experiences, and providing tools to better cope with life's challenges; especially when the treatment approach reflects the uniqueness of a person's life. I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adult men. Together, we develop the ideal treatment approach that best helps them achieve their therapeutic goals, equip them to better handle life’s setbacks and help them to live with a renewed sense of hope and optimism.

Psychotherapy provides us with an opportunity to use an integrative approach to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interactions. I work collaboratively with my clients to reach their therapeutic goals within an empathetic and supportive dynamic. Whether your goals are for you as an individual or as part of a couple, psychotherapy provides the opportunity for personal growth and empowerment to experience the life you desire.

Psychotherapy has been with humankind since our origins. However, about a century ago, psychologists tried to systematize and formalize psychotherapeutic interventions and, depending on their worldview and perspectives on human nature, they created various approaches that currently exceed 400, which can be confusing and misleading. A successful psychotherapy, regardless of the lenses and title, should acknowledge that every person has a unique mind and, as a result, a unique mental world. The therapist’s job is to help the client explore this world in a supportive environment. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Therapy can provide a safe emotional space in which your experiences can be explored with the support of a therapist.

I work with individuals, couples and families. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

For over 10 years I have worked with individuals, couples, parents and families. My expertise is in fostering relationships within ourselves as well as with one another. I love conversations that draw on the importance of the client-therapist relationship, and have found this to be such a depth of potential healing for clients. I also supervise other therapists, for nearly 10 years now, and have found this work to be so rewarding. My biggest passion in my work is including nature in the healing journey. I have witnessed my clients outside with mother earth in countless moments of deep profound healing that I can only name as magical.

When it comes to mental health, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. The same is true for psychotherapy. Considering your unique needs and concerns, I draw on multiple therapeutic models to create a custom approach just for you. I also believe that therapy doesn't have to be stuffy. We'll share laughter and authentic human connection even as you're gaining insights into your issues and learning skills for addressing them.

I have received instruction in a variety of different types of therapy, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Positive Psychology, Psychoanalysis, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I draw from all of these when I work with my clients, finding what will work best for the individual to address the concerns that brought them to therapy.

The door of self understanding leads to a type of freedom that is personal , powerful and dynamic. Each individual's needs and inclinations are taken into account when determining the best therapeutic approach for each client. The therapeutic journey is different for each person as we are all unique. What we have in common is our need for love and self acceptance.
