Therapy for Men
You're a man who keep things in. You've realized you can't go on like this though. You need to move forward even though you feel like you're in quick-sand. Talking is a start.

Know that most of us grow up not knowing how to deal with emotions. This may have looked like not talking about them at all or given the message to suck it up. That doesn't make feelings go away though. When we don't deal with things, it shows up in other ways. It shows up as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, anger, or physical health symptoms.

If you're at a place where you know something needs to shift, reach out. We can get some tools to improve your mood and better manage emotions and relationships.

Common themes in my practice for individual therapy:

Isolating/ Keeping people at a distance
Difficulty sharing with others/ Expressing emotions
Men's mental health
Confidence/ Being too critical of yourself
Anger management challenges
Wanting a better relationship with your spouse or children
Stress management
Low mood/ Depression

Couples Therapy
First and foremost, all long-term relationships and marriages struggle at some point. We are individuals who have our own separate lives and experiences. As individuals we come together to make our relationship. Our relationship is unique to the two of us. But because we evolve and change as individuals, so too does our relationship. Unfortunately, during the transition from who I am to who I am becoming, our relationship can get stuck on some bumps. Life transitions that cause those relationship bumps can be about becoming parents, loss of a loved one, career change, new goals, or mental health struggles for example.

Common themes in my practice for individual therapy:

Communication challenges
New parents
Walking on eggshells
Resentment
Relationship neglect
Infidelity
Feeling misunderstood
Separation transition
Difficulty with sharing/vulnerability
Emotional intimacy

In-person option for Thunder Bay. Online therapy also available for anyone in Ontario.
