Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
The reason clients return time after time, and year after year, is due to the fact that I've made it a priority to build a strong connection with them. I listen, I guide them when they ask, and I'm very honest with my feedback. Simply, they trust me. Nothing could be more important to me or to them.
It's not easy to reach out and ask for help. But what I want you to know is that everyone needs somebody to talk to at some point in their lives. It doesn't mean you're weak or sick or less than anyone else. It just helps to have a neutral third party you can say anything to. No matter what's coming up for you now, you can talk to me.
Offering you a healing space with intelligence and heart. I bring over 30 years of experience working with individuals and groups to you as a counsellor, coach, and family constellations facilitator. My style is warm and empathic, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ friendly, poly-amory friendly, and spiritually aware. I bring a range of modalities to be able to tailor the approach that is right for you.
Counselling is akin to a mental gym, where we exercise and strengthen your mind. Often, people are unaware of the patterns and thought processes that perpetuate negative emotions and experiences. My mission is to collaborate with you, empowering you not only to conquer your challenges but also to liberate yourself from self-defeating beliefs. Together, we'll embark on a transformative journey, unlocking your full potential and creating a life of fulfillment and positivity.
I believe that therapy needs to feel welcoming, warm, and impactful to your life. I enjoy working with a holistic model of therapy that incorporates a mind and body connection. As we work through your current challenge, peeling back layers of self discovery, I believe it’s also important to work on goals and habit of change to propel you into the life you want to experience.
My goal as a Transpersonal Therapist, is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns, or negative perceptions, that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Many days you're overwhelmed and filled with self-doubt. You feel like a failure and second-guess everything. Sometimes you’re the man you want to be. And other times, you feel like things are falling apart. Stress, anxiety, anger, and even depression negatively impact your career, your relationships, and your confidence. You know you're capable of more and just want to be happy, but don't know what to do. I can help you get there. I know how to help men thrive!

Somatic therapy and inner child work reside at the core of my work. In session, we use the intelligence of the body in the present moment to allow a deeper exploration that goes beyond the everyday mind. Through this inner witness, we explore past and current relationships to dive deeper into our early wounding. By acknowledging and meeting our younger parts, we allow the pain to transform into self love and acceptance. This approach allows an organic process for our pain and suffering to be witnessed, transformed and integrated. The path of true change! When we are truly heard, seen and received by another human being, we come home to the feelings of belonging and acceptance – what we long for all our lives. I guide a self exploration that encourages deep curiosity to look at all parts of ourselves – the good, the dark, the painful and the joy-filled in a safe, non-judgemental space.
I have Master's Degrees in Clinical Psychology and Counselling. In addition to professional training and experiences in psychotherapy and treatment, behavioral intervention, and neuropsychological assessments, I use my previous PhD and current doctoral studies to supplement my clinical practice using both clinical-scientist and scientist-practitioner models.
