About Me
I'm a Canadian Certified Counsellor with over ten years of experience helping individuals and couples manage anxiety, anger, and relationship challenges. I hold a Master's in Counselling and Psychotherapy with additional training in mindfulness-based approaches. I see clients at my Westmount, Montreal office and online.
Approach
Many people come to therapy when they notice patterns that keep repeating - difficulty managing stress, shutting down in conflict, or pushing through low mood until it becomes harder to function. These patterns often have roots that may not be immediately obvious.
I offer individual therapy to adults and older teens experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship difficulties. I specialize in working with men navigating isolation, addiction, relationship difficulties, and questions of meaning and purpose.
I also offer couples therapy for communication breakdown, intimacy concerns, infidelity, and separation.
I'm a Canadian Certified Counsellor with over 10 years of clinical experience. I see clients at my Westmount office and online. Contact me to discuss your needs or book a free 10-minute consultation.
