Years in practice: 4

I hold deep respect for men who courageously take the pivotal step toward their emotional growth. Therapy is a proactive choice that represents your commitment to your own wellness. My primary goal here is to help you navigate the complexity of your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, patterns and equip you with tools to thrive in your relationship, workplace, and all your varied roles.

Our sessions will be tailored to meet your unique needs and goals as I draw strategies from a range of therapeutic frameworks like CBT, DBT, EFT, and IFS. In the past, I have worked with individuals dealing with concerns like depression, anxiety, ADHD, self-criticism, perfectionism, burnout, family discord, relationship intricacies, and end of relationships.
