About Me

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a member of the Canadian Association of Psychodynamic Therapists (CAPT). I’ve been practicing trauma-informed, relational psychodynamic psychotherapy since 2014. Prior to opening my private practice, I spent 15 years working in the community health and harm reduction sector.

My Approach

I work from an integrative psychodynamic framework, with a strong emphasis on:

• Early life trauma and attachment

• Internal working models and emotional states

• Nervous system regulation

This is deep, longer-term work, not short-term or solution-focused therapy. My approach is relational, trauma-aware, and grounded in the belief that healing comes through insight, emotional processing, and developing a more integrated sense of self.

Areas of Focus

Some of the issues I specialize in include:

• Men’s mental health

• Early developmental trauma

• Rage, shame, and emotional dysregulation

• Sexuality and sexual health

• Childhood sexual abuse

• Narcissistic traits and relational challenges

• Dissociation and delusional thinking

• Low self-esteem and self-worth

• Accountability, conflict, and interpersonal struggles

I work with a wide range of people across diverse identities, social locations, and lived experiences. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, and I approach all clients with awareness of structural violence, systemic oppression, and how these realities intersect with personal trauma and mental health.

Why Clients Seek Me Out

Clients often come to me when they’re experiencing:

• A desire for greater self-awareness

• Emotional dysregulation or uncontrolled anger

• Breakups or relationship difficulties

• Feeling chronically misunderstood or slighted

• Paranoid thoughts or persistent interpersonal conflict

• A sense of emptiness, failure, or unresolved trauma

• Being described as narcissistic or abusive

• Intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or fixations

• Post-incarceration trauma

• Jealousy, shame, or irritability

• Major life transitions

Who I Work With

While I welcome clients of all genders, my practice primarily focuses on working with men—including cis and trans men—across a spectrum of sexual orientations. I strive to create a space where men can safely explore emotional complexity, vulnerability, and growth.
