Introduction:

Hello and welcome! Seeking support is a courageous step, and I commend you for taking the first step toward prioritizing your mental health. Many men face societal pressures that discourage vulnerability, leaving them feeling isolated in their struggles. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together to explore your challenges, develop coping strategies, and foster personal growth.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. I strive to tailor my approach to each individual, ensuring that our work together aligns with your personal needs and goals.

I have experience working with individuals navigating career stress, relationship difficulties, self-doubt, and major life transitions. Whether you’re facing internal struggles or external challenges, I am here to help you build resilience, enhance self-awareness, and create meaningful change in your life.

I warmly welcome clients of all backgrounds and identities and am committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive therapeutic environment. If you’re ready to take the next step, I look forward to connecting with you.
