Do you feel “numb”, overwhelmed, or emotionally checked-out? Do these feelings make it hard to show up for the people you care about in your life? Feeling like you haven't “figured out” while you struggle can lead to feeling confused, angry, and ashamed that you're not “good enough”. These harmful feelings can result in addictions, workaholism, low self-esteem, depression, relationship/family issues, and hopelessness. Talking with a therapist can help calm overthinking, provide a sense of hope, and can give you the chance to share what's really on your mind.
I specialize in working with men, aged 18-50. I help men with two things: 1) get deeper self-understanding, 2) build emotional skills to deal with life. Together we will uncover what motivates you, discuss how to overcome obstacles that hold you back, and with applying our Catholic faith beliefs, build a clear roadmap to help you manage your emotions, control impulsive behaviours, and use your strengths to move you forward.
With my experience, compassionate approach, and diverse therapeutic toolkit, I am dedicated to guiding individuals towards a brighter, more fulfilling future. My mission is to help my clients not only overcome their challenges but also discover their true potential for happiness and growth.
Therapeutic Approach:
In my practice, I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I believe that every person needs something different on any given day, so I adjust my approach to meet that need. Whether providing support or offering a gentle challenge, I focus on what arises in each session to help guide clients toward their personal mental health goals.
Areas of Expertise:
I have a special interest in helping people work through substance use issues, anger, depression, and anxiety. By the end of November 2024, I’ll also be trained in EMDR, which will allow me to offer additional support to those processing trauma and difficult experiences.
My Style:
Building a genuine connection with my clients is at the heart of what I do. I’m in-tune with their needs, offering warmth, light-heartedness, and paying close attention to the little things that often go unnoticed in daily life. This helps clients feel truly seen and understood.
Experience and Background:
I’ve been a therapist for several years, and my path to this work was deeply personal. After struggling with and overcoming severe substance use issues, thanks to both therapy and God’s grace, I felt called to help others on their journey to healing. This experience gives me a deep sense of empathy and understanding when working with my clients.
Current Focus:
My focus is to help my clients navigate challenging emotions like anger, anxiety, and depression. I’m especially passionate about guiding them through their personal goals, whether it’s finding peace, gaining self-understanding, or processing trauma.
