Overview
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) in Ontario, Canada, specializing in individual and group therapy for men. My practice focuses on supporting men as they navigate a wide range of emotional, personal, and relational challenges.
The core areas of my clinical focus include:
- Emotional Health: I work with men to address and manage anger, anxiety, stress, and coping skills. Incorporating mindfulness practices, I help clients develop greater emotional regulation and resilience.
- Personal Growth: I support men in overcoming self-doubt, self-criticism, and issues related to confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth. By cultivating a growth mindset, clients are empowered to recognize their inherent strengths and embrace personal development.
- Life Transitions and Identity: I assist men through life transitions, exploring masculinity, spirituality, and evolving personal identities. This includes adapting to new roles, stages of life, and redefining purpose and meaning.
- Relational Dynamics: I help men navigate relationship issues, communication challenges, and conflict resolution. I also provide guidance on fatherhood, emotional intimacy, boundaries, loneliness, and achieving a healthy work-life balance.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). CFT provides a structured yet deeply human framework for fostering emotional healing, resilience, and self-compassion. Many men struggle with self-criticism, shame, or perfectionism, and CFT offers practical tools to develop a more balanced and compassionate inner dialogue. Through CFT, I help clients build emotional strength, cultivate kindness towards themselves and others, and navigate life’s complexities with greater ease and clarity.
By combining the principles of CFT with a nuanced understanding of men’s mental health, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore, grow, and thrive.
