If this sounds like you...
You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.
-
You look like you have things together, but it doesn't feel that way internally.
-
You cope through overworking, substances, porn, gambling, or scrolling.
-
You've tried to 'fix' it, but the same patterns keep showing up in your life.
-
You feel intense pressure to hold it all together, even when the weight is heavy.
-
You overthink everything and find it nearly impossible to shut your mind off.
No pressure. Just a conversation.

2025 CAMH Excellence in Clinical Social Work Practice Award
For men who are functioning, but struggling underneath.
I'm a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist with 13+ years of experience helping people through problematic substance use, anxiety, trauma, burnout, and major life transitions in hospitals, correctional facilities, community mental health, and private practice.
Most of the men I work with are holding it together the best they can. But underneath, something isn't working and they've been carrying it alone for too long.
My approach is direct and practical. We'll work on what's happening now and on the patterns underneath it.
This extends beyond theory and training for me. I've done the work myself.
No pressure. We will discuss what's going on and if this is a fit.
Substance Use
When substances or behaviors control your life more than you do. We'll help you break free and build healthier coping strategies.
When you’ve built a successful life on paper but still feel like you’re falling short. We’ll help you understand who you are beyond achievement and feel more solid in yourself.
Identity & Self-Worth
I specialize in helping men in Toronto and across Ontario navigate the complexities of modern life with direct, actionable support, and depth oriented transformation.
What I Can Help With
Overthinking & Anxiety
When your mind won’t switch off and every decision feels like a high-stakes choice. We’ll help you quiet the noise and move with more confidence.
When life changes through loss, separation, career shifts, or uncertainty challenge the way you see yourself. We’ll help you process what’s happening and find your footing again.
Difficult Life Transitions
Stress & Burnout
When you’re running on fumes, but still pushing yourself to keep going. We’ll help you reset, set boundaries, and build a life that doesn’t burn you out.
When porn use starts to feel less like a choice and more like a compulsion. We’ll help you understand what’s driving it and build healthier ways to cope.

Tactical Tools for Immediate Impact
Depth Work for Long-Term Transformation
We focus on practical, actionable strategies that you can implement right now. Whether it's managing anxiety triggers, setting boundaries for work, or addressing substance use, we provide the tactical framework to regain control over your immediate environment.
While tactical tools address the symptoms, we dive deep into the patterns and emotional roots that drive your struggles. We explore the pressure to prove yourself, hidden coping mechanisms, and the disconnect between your external functioning and internal well-being.
