Online/ In-Person (York Region)

I work with men who feel stuck or behind in life, even if it looks like everything is fine on the outside. You might feel constantly on edge, unsure of your direction, or frustrated that things aren’t moving the way you expected. Some men feel anxious, socially uncomfortable, or disconnected. Others feel numb or burnt out from pushing through on their own.

I often support men who feel misunderstood or overlooked, especially gamers and former gifted children who have relied on the internet to cope. For many, online spaces are the only places that feel engaging or make sense. Therapy can be a place to pause, understand these patterns, and start reclaiming a sense of control, focus, and purpose in your offline life.

My approach is practical, collaborative, and client-centered. I draw from CBT, humanistic, and strengths-based approaches to help you notice patterns, explore possibilities, and find directions that feel right for you. We brainstorm practical strategies together, drawing from research, resources, and what I have learned from supporting other clients, so you can take confident steps forward while staying in the driver’s seat of your own life.

I have a strong interest in working with men who struggle with excessive gaming or internet use, social anxiety, emotional regulation, or feeling stuck in life or relationships. I also work with second-generation immigrants who are balancing family expectations, cultural values, and personal goals. Many clients come in believing their struggles are personal flaws. Part of our work is learning how those same traits can be transformed into strengths that support growth and stability.
