Some Issues we can explore

  • men's therapy

    While psychotherapy itself is not a gendered act, we are seeing a greater percentage of men wishing to engage in therapy than ever before. Some of the themes that show up in men seeking therapy fit into an existential approach, and we can explore them together this way. Sometimes our place in our world needs to be explored, or challenged. Sometimes we are struggling to find the meaning in our existence.

    I offer a space in which we can let our guard down, and discuss the challenges before us. You are not alone in this.

  • is this all there is?

    The world we live in can sometimes leave us feeling unfulfilled. Perhaps our work/life cycle feels monotonous, or we feel stuck in a rut with no clear path out.

    Our future is not written yet, and the steps you take today can be directed toward a new destination. Let us explore the systems around us and our place within it.

  • I am overwhelmed.

    Sometimes everything is happening at once. Sometimes the weight of the world bears down on us. The stressors of life can be overwhelming, or fears and anxieties might be holding us back from becoming our full selves.

    Having someone along on your journey, perhaps to provide some outside perspective, or to work with you to reframe and explore the matters at hand can make a lot of difference. You are the expert on you, and we can explore how to discover and utilize your strengths and talents.

There are many reasons to start therapy. here are some issues that may be on your mind

  • ADHD

    If you have been diagnosed or have wondered if you have ADHD, we can work together to address the unique challenges of ADHD.

  • LONELINESS / ISOLATION

    Our modern world sometimes leaves us feeling alone, or isolated and left out. We can work together to address these feelings.

  • Anxiety

    Worrying about the future is a natural reaction to uncertainty, but sometimes the worry is too much. We can explore ways to control the anxiety so that the anxiety does not control us.

  • Religion / spirituality cosmology / meaning

    The “big questions” in life are sometimes rooted in our relationship to religious or spiritual or cosmological ideas that we have internalized. We can explore what core beliefs we hold, and how that informs our understanding of the world.

  • trauma

    The events of the past shape us, but they do not define us. If you have experienced trauma, or if events of the past haunt you still, we can slowly, gently unpack the past, and explore techniques to overcome the residual effects of these memories.

  • identity

    Identity is a very broad category, but includes the struggles we all face in learning about ourselves, or facing parts of ourselves that might involve shame, confusion, anger or fear. Self acceptance is a journey, and I can walk along side you as you explore this path.

  • Conflict

    If relationships, family, work or social conflict is overwhelming, we can talk and explore how to navigate this environment.

  • Fears / phobias / superstitions

    The ways we internalize worries and concerns can sometimes lead to fears and phobias that dictate our behaviours and impinge on our ability to live our lives fully. Superstitions can sometimes feel like we are imprisoned by endless rules and fears. We can challenge these ideas together.

  • Society / culture / the world itself

    What is a sane reaction to an insane world? How do we become fully-realized versions of ourselves in a world that feels designed to crush us? Not all issues we face are rooted within us, some are thrust upon us, and how we learn to respond to these outside forces is important. You are not alone in this world.
