I work primarily with men and couples who feel stuck in cycles of disconnection or internal pressure. Many of my clients come to me because they feel like they are constantly walking on eggshells in their relationships or find themselves trapped in the same repetitive patterns without a clear path forward. Men come to me for a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, work related stress, and patterns that have been affecting their relationships with others. My goal is to support clients in breaking these patterns so they can feel more grounded and show up better in their lives and in the relationships that matter most.

My therapeutic style is warm and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation rooted in trust and have genuine connection. I use an integrative approach that blends evidence-based methods like CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and Solution- Focused Therapy to provide practical, daily tools, alongside Attachment-Focused therapy to heal deeper emotional wounds. I also use the Gottman Method specifically for couples, guiding them through structure and intentional process for relational change.

My goal is to foster a therapeutic space that is accessible and comfortable for men. I prioritize a non-judgmental space where we work on identifying the root of the pressure they carry. Together, I help identify their strengths and develop actionable strategies to help them feel more in control of their emotions and better equipped to navigate life’s demands. I also specialize in helping men and couples navigate the complexities of modern relationships. My practice is dedicated to addressing the intersections of identity, emotional regulation, and communication as a foundation for lasting healing and connection.

I know that for many men, reaching out for support can feel like a setback rather than a step forward. I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to break that silence, and I make sure our work moves at a pace that feels steady, collaborative, and respectful to you.
