New to Therapy? Here is what you can expect
It Starts With You
We can start with a free 15-minute phone call. This is an opportunity for you to get a sense of who I am, briefly discuss what is bringing you to therapy, and bring forward any questions or concerns you might have. This is also an opportunity for me to explain what therapy might look like and elaborate on my general approach. After our 15-minute phone call, you can decide whether or not to move forward.
It’s Up To You
The process of therapy is up to you. While I can help you navigate and uncover the obstacles you are facing in your life, what we talk about and the goals we set is ultimately your decision.
Judgment Free
I provide a warm, compassionate, and accepting environment where we can explore and address any issue without judgment.
Services
My therapeutic approach is centred on the client’s needs. Everyone comes from different and unique circumstances in life, and I believe that the therapy process should be unique to each client. For this reason, my approach is warm, judgment free, and draws on a variety of evidence-based therapeutic methods. Depending on the client, I draw on Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Family Systems, Relational Therapy, and Psychodynamic approaches.
Therapy can provide positive outcomes for a wide variety of reasons. My belief is that therapy itself can be a healing process. The act of sharing your thoughts, feelings, and worries is an essential step to a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Whether it is navigating a specific challenge or looking for a deeper understanding of yourself, my approach is focused on your goals.
While I am competent and comfortable working with all people, my focus is working with people who identify as men and adolescent boys as well as couples.
I can help with a variety of challenges
relationship issues
life transitions
trauma
parenting
gender and sexuality
spouse abuse
anger management
loneliness
friendship conflicts
trust
hopelessness

Couples Sessions (platonic or romantic)
Whether it is romantic, platonic, or somewhere in-between, couples therapy can be a useful process to better understand your relationship and find healthier ways to navigate your dynamic. Couples therapy is not only helpful when there is a problem, it can also be useful to navigate transitions, changes in the relationship, or build a stronger connection.
While sometimes both people are ready to start couples therapy, other times one or both of you might be hesitant. It is my belief that both people’s perspectives are crucial to understand how to move forward through any obstacle you may be facing together. Through couples therapy, we can work on communication, emotional connection, intimacy, understanding, and any other facet of your relationship that could be strengthened.
