Bio At A Glance:

I’m a relational psychotherapist working with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns that no longer make sense, or no longer work. Together, we make sense of those adaptations and create space for something more honest, connected, and sustainable.

“You’re not broken. You’re responding intelligently, even if painfully, to your life experience.”

About my work

I believe that most people don’t come to therapy because something is wrong with them, but because something in their life, relationships, or past experiences hasn’t been fully understood or processed.

Therapy with me is about coming back into relationship with yourself. We explore what’s happening beneath the surface, including your patterns, reactions, and emotional responses, to understand where they come from, what they may have been trying to protect, and how they continue to shape your life today.

This understanding can lead to more choice, more self-compassion, and a greater capacity to respond to yourself and others in new ways.

I work from a relational lens, which means the connection we build together becomes an important part of the process. When you feel genuinely seen, understood, and not judged, something begins to shift. You stop trying to “figure yourself out” and start experiencing yourself differently.

This work is not about quick solutions. It’s about developing awareness, self-trust, and the capacity to stay present with your experience, even when it’s uncomfortable. Over time, this creates meaningful and lasting change.

  • Before becoming a therapist, I spent over two decades working in the trades and creative fields, including film and carpentry. I also trained extensively in improvisational theatre, which taught me how to stay present, listen deeply, and respond authentically, skills that continue to shape how I work today.
  • After a back injury in my thirties, I found myself re-evaluating my path, both personally and professionally. That period led me toward psychotherapy and a deeper exploration of human relationships, meaning, and healing.
  • I trained in Relational Psychotherapy at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy, and since 2014, I’ve built a private practice supporting individuals and couples. I’ve also worked at Pine River Institute with teens navigating addiction and mental health challenges, and at Hospice Georgian Triangle, supporting individuals and families through end-of-life care.
  • Alongside my clinical training, I bring my lived experience as a partner and father into my work, understanding the complexity, responsibility, and growth that comes with real life and real relationships.
  • A collaborative, non-judgmental space
  • Focus on real patterns, not surface-level solutions
  • Deep relational work at your pace
  • Honest conversations with support and challenge
  • A grounded, human approach to change

My background in improvisational theatre continues to influence how I show up in the therapy room: present, responsive, and engaged in the moment.

Outside of work, I’m a father and partner, and much of what I understand about growth, conflict, and connection comes from living those roles in real time.

Answers to some frequently asked questions:

That’s completely okay. You don’t need to have the right words, just a willingness to show up. We’ll figure it out together.
No. My role is to help both partners understand what’s happening beneath the surface and support meaningful change, not to assign blame.
It’s a balance. I bring structure where it’s helpful, but the process is guided by what emerges in the room and what feels most relevant.
My work is focused on deeper, lasting change rather than short-term solutions.
Yes. Virtual sessions are available, especially if accessibility is a concern.
