It is my belief that there are genuinely no men's or women's issues, but a shared experience of living under the oppression of capitalism and patriarchy which keeps us all locked into our roles and cut off from valuable parts of self. Men may not have been taught to honour and communicate their emotions or embrace their capacity to nurture in the same way those raised as women have. In a world that is moving increasingly toward liberation for women, men are being called to change, but have very few role models or maps to help navigate this new terrain. It is my aim to provide support in unpacking the impacts of internalized patriarchy in moving towards a more authentic expression of self.

Working with men is core to my work as a counsellor and therapist. Issues and areas of focus in men's therapy can be diverse but there are typically some common threads: our role as providers and perceived career success, how we are measuring up as partners in relationships, our ability to attract the right type of partner in the first place, our ability to perform, our ability to receive respect and admiration from our peers. Our ability to be the types of fathers, brothers, sons and friends that we admire. We can be competitive, passionate, thoughtful and at other times we can feel lost, confused, vulnerable and set in our ways. We can struggle with effective communication, addictive tendencies and losing control of our anger. One of the most rewarding things I experience as a therapist is when I connect with men who really embrace therapy as a space to be with themselves and embrace therapy as a personal journey.

Have you been taught that being 'strong' means not showing feelings of sadness, fear, vulnerability, or confusion? Do you often suffer in silence? Do you struggle to manage feelings or behaviours that are getting in the way of feeling good, of taking care of your health, or of connecting to loved ones? Men’s mental health challenges often go undetected. Men are less likely than women to reach out for mental health support, are more likely to die by suicide, and are less likely to benefit from early intervention. If you are struggling with feelings, behaviours, or thoughts that are hard to talk about, call us today and experience the relief of sharing your burdens with someone who is trained to help, not to judge.
Men's issues can encompass challenges such as low self-esteem around other men, the ill-effects of an absent or highly abusive father figure, erectile dysfunction and sexual performance issues, unhealthy dependence on porn, fatherhood-related difficulties, etc. As a man and a father, I am quite passionate about helping men actualize themselves into mature masculine role models for their families and communities. Email me for a free 30-min phone consultation to learn more about how I can help you with the aforementioned issues.
I specialize in working with men on a myriad of issues including anxiety, depression, reactivity, addiction, stress, relationship issues, etc.; the way one works with men can be very different than how one works with other populations. The culture, beliefs, and understanding of men can be so varied and skewed, and it is only through understanding these lenses that one can hope to accurately treat an individual.

Not many good role models exist for men. Too much toxicity in culture to be competitive, strong and closed off from each other creates a loneliness in a group of men - even if you see them all the time. Targeting men's issues requires the enhancement in your relationship with self, your friendships, romantic relationships and parenting relationships. It requires a male to guide your growth for it targets healing our father wounds.

Men's issues encompass a broad range of topics, including masculinity, gender roles, relationships, fatherhood, work-related stress, emotional expression, and societal expectations. We understand that navigating these areas can be complex and may contribute to feelings of pressure, isolation, and internal conflict. Work with a male therapist to discuss the gender difficulties with toxic masculinity.

I support men struggling with addictive substances or behaviors such as gambling. Many men are finding themselves lost and lacking a sense of purpose, leaving them feeling like they are not needed or not good enough, seeking an escape. I delve into underlying issues so clients can gain a sense of purpose and self-worth.
Our team of 20+ therapists work with individuals experiencing a wide range of psychological and emotional concerns including Men's Issues. We strive to match clients with a therapist who has the right skills to support their needs.
Men's mental health issues are an important topic that deserves attention and support. Some common mental health challenges faced by men include depression, anxiety, suicide, substance abuse, anger, aggression, life transitions, societal expectations and work-related stress. It's crucial to promote awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage men to seek help and support when facing mental health difficulties. I work collaboratively with my clients and provide them with a safe space to explore their emotions, navigate relationships, manage stress, and empower them to lead fulfilling and authentic lives.
Sometimes we just need a space to talk about what it's like to live as a Man in a culture that places a significant number of obligations and expectations on us. We live under the weight of masculinity - performative, toxic, or otherwise - and having a space to unpack some of what we carry is vital to being able to become the Men we want to be.
In my practice, I offer a supportive and understanding environment tailored to addressing men's issues, recognizing the unique challenges and societal expectations faced by men today. Through a blend of holistic and psychotherapeutic strategies, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I help men explore and express their emotions, improve communication skills, and navigate personal and professional challenges. This comprehensive approach encourages self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth, allowing men to break free from limiting beliefs and behaviors. By fostering a space for open dialogue and exploration, I aim to support men in developing healthier relationships, achieving life balance, and cultivating a strong sense of self. Whether dealing with stress, relationship issues, identity concerns, or emotional health, I am here to guide men through their journey towards well-being and fulfillment, emphasizing the importance of holistic health and emotional integrity.

Whatever it is that brings you to seek therapy I will provide you with a space free from societal pressures, stigmas and judgments in which you can unpack, process and learn to cope with difficult life situations. You don't have to go through this alone, we're here to help.
Often men need a space to be vulnerable about the issues they are facing without fear of judgment. This is what I like to provide. What can come out of this vulnerability if often greater connection and empowerment.
Society is full of ideas of what a man "should" be. This is what often stops men from seeking treatment. Statements like "man up" get tossed around all the time, and then when people can't anymore they start to wonder what is wrong with them. These are the questions we help men deal with every day in therapy. We will work with you where you are at. You don't need to sit and cry and talk about your childhood (unless that is what you want to do!) We always suggest trying it out. Therapy is hard work but we have yet to meet a client who has done the work and hasn't found it helpful.
It can be particularly challenging for men to reach out and get the mental health support that we need. If you're a man looking for help, I'll work with you in a supportive way to navigate your issues, whether they're low mood, anxiety, substance misuse, issues with fatherhood, or whatever else you're struggling with.
