I focus on anxiety, issues impacting men, depression, addiction, life changes, relationship issues and grief and bereavement counselling. I am also part of a consultation group on gender, identity and sexuality. I believe we all have many stories to tell. Each story being unique, meaningful and worth telling. Through this process of telling these story-telling, we begin to heal wounds and find ourselves again. The many stories of my life led me through loss, grief, stress and pain but also joy, connection, meaning and love. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for people to discuss their emotions, thoughts and behaviours, and engage in a plan to create a rich and meaningful life.

My clients receive a genuine, dedicated, and committed therapist. I always make sure I am checking in and seeking feedback to ensure our time together is meaningful and beneficial. I have been told many times that I am approachable, funny, and easy to talk to. If I can make someone laugh when they are dealing with a difficult situation, then why not? I am straight-forward and supportive. I have a decade of experience as a social worker and have the clinical skills to know how to approach different personalities in order to build rapport in a short time frame.

Hello there… As crazy as it might sound, patterns of anxiety, depression, controllingness, addiction, self automation (and others that one may fall into) are all learning environments – challenging us to search for ways to heal self and others. Our world gets better each time one of us takes such steps. After almost fifty years doing this work with others as well as with my self, I can assure you it is worth it. I’ll characterize my approach as practical/spiritual/integrative – and informal : > )

My approach to therapy is grounded in social justice and anti-oppression, and guided by narrative frameworks. I believe our lives are shaped by the stories we and others tell us about who we are. When we decide to come to therapy, it’s often because stories about problems (and about how WE are a problem) are dominating our lives. My role is to help you examine these stories and your relationship to them, and to explore, create, and sometimes change the stories in your life.

Acknowledging that things are not ok is a brave first-step. First and foremost, I want you to know that you are not alone. Now let’s see if together we are a good fit to navigate these difficult thoughts, feelings, and events you’re experiencing. Many of my clients are men seeking support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and trauma. In addition, with lived experience in the 2SLGBTQ+ community, I take pride in offering support for any related concerns.

I feel strongly that treatment is not a ‘one size fits all’ which is why I take an integrated framework, drawing upon various modalities of practice to individualize our work together to meet your needs.
