I’m a laid-back and direct therapist who gets the unique challenges men face when it comes to emotional vulnerability. I provide a supportive space where you can openly explore your feelings at your own pace. My goal is to help you navigate and come to terms with the emotional struggles you may be experiencing.

It takes courage, reflection, and a few calming breaths to reach out for support when difficult life circumstances present themselves. Taking the important first step starts the journey toward applying new ways of approaching personal and relational difficulties. We will walk together in a collaborative relationship, test new skills that we learn along the way, and explore the possibilities!

I encourage open communication so that I do not use a method or intervention that is not working for you. I specialize in chronic illness/pain, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, couples/sex therapy, lgbtqia2s+, and career counselling, however, I am trained to work with other concerns as well.

I currently work full-time in private practice with a group of experienced psychologists, providing psychotherapy and formal assessment to school aged children, adolescents, & adults, with a specialized focus in traumatic stress, & couples/family therapy (including separated/divorced families).

I work with individuals looking to overcome obstacles, navigate difficulties, and foster self-growth. I help couples discover new patterns of being together while restoring intimacy, passion, and commitment. With families, my hope is to strengthen relationship bonds and better understand differences.
I utilize a systemic, trauma-informed approach to therapy with individuals, couples, and families. I work with a variety of concerns and challenges from multiple therapeutic models, including dialogic therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and integrative therapy. Selecting the right therapist is important and I would be happy to meet with you for a free 20-minute consultation so you can see if I am a fit for you.

Ventsislav Tomov
Ventsislav Tomov
I act as an advocate of the movement for ‘the greening of psychotherapy’, aiming at reuniting people with the natural environment to heal from illness and distress, challenging the separation from nature we are experiencing, since the industrial revolution. As an umbrella term for nature-based methods of physical and psychological healing, ecotherapy represents a new form of psychotherapy that acknowledges that people are intimately connected with, embedded in, and inseparable from the rest of nature. Comprehending this fact shifts our understanding of how to heal the human psyche and the currently dysfunctional human-nature relationship. Modalities: Positive, Narrative, Systemic, Psycho-dynamic, Mindfulness-, Attachment- & Nature-based.
