Practice Information

You may be in a turbulent period, or noticing that the ways you learned to survive are now getting in the way of connection. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship conflict, family strain, and cultural pressure. You may be carrying pain you have kept locked away, repeating patterns you do not fully understand, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the people you love. Whether something needs to change now or you want to understand yourself more deeply, we can begin with what matters most to you.

I bring compassion and curiosity, but I will not simply nod along. I am trained and experienced in counselling approaches that support inner understanding, meaningful change, and personal growth. Together, we will explore what lies beneath the patterns, process the wounds you carry, and create new ways of relating to yourself and the people in your life.

I have lived through turbulent periods of my own and know what it is like to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. I am also a husband and father to toddler twins, and understand how demanding life and relationships can be. There does not need perfect words or immediate trust. I will meet you with patience, honesty, and no judgment.
