​

As a queer and trans man, I know first-hand how vulnerable it can feel sharing certain parts of yourself with others. I strive to create a space where you can explore all aspects of your identity and be your most authentic self.

​

Throughout my career, I have supported people across the lifespan and in a variety of settings including the housing and shelter system, post-secondary schools, and emergency and outpatient hospital settings. In working with clients, I take an integrative approach, drawing on experience with cognitive behavioural models (such as cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy), narrative therapy, and emotion-focused therapy. I have additional training in cognitive processing therapy for trauma, cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis, and in working with substance use and addictions.

​

My areas of focus include:

​

-anxiety

-depression

-mood disorders

-psychosis (eg. delusional beliefs and/or hallucinations)

-self-harm

-suicidality

-issues related to being 2SLGBTQ+

-issues related to substance use and addictions

​

Whether you are just starting your therapy journey, or looking to connect with someone new, I am grateful to be on this journey with you!
