I am accepting new couples and individuals seeking a shorter-term therapy. For those individuals new to therapy, I cannot provide a long-term therapy and encourage you to seek a therapist at a different stage in their career.

After 50 years in the workforce, first in the corporate world and subsequently as a psychotherapist, in the coming years I am looking toward retirement. As such, in addition to the “Issues I Work With”, challenges that we all face over a lifetime, I believe I’m also in a unique position to offer therapy for Seniors by a Senior with a focus on aging related issues and late life concerns.

Online, Couples or Family Therapy

I bring a unique outlook to my clients. Having spent the first 27 years of my career as a Bay Street banker with Canada’s largest international bank, I have observed transformations of the human spirit while witnessing many changing dynamics… characteristics that can often result in creating exhausting challenges.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Reg. # 1034) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario(CRPO). I am a graduate of Toronto’s renowned Centre for Training in Psychotherapy (CTP), having successfully completed their 7 year academic and clinical requirements. I have been practicing now for the last 25 years. I have completed both the Externship & Core Skills Advanced Training Programs for Couples Therapy from the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy. I am a member of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT). I have also served on the Board of the Psychotherapy Referral Service (PRS) as its Secretary, Treasurer and President.

As a psychotherapist with a personal experience with prostate cancer, I have a unique perspective and hopefully a helpful one, on both the practical and emotional issues men must grapple with as they face this potentially life-changing diagnosis and treatment.

Language I work in: English

I have experience in working with people who are challenged with:

  • depression
  • life transitions, especially career changes
  • unhealthy relationship patterns
  • being a man in relationship
  • prostate cancer and treatment
  • parental loss/aging
  • work stress, especially in the corporate world
  • anxiety in social and other settings
  • loss, grief or bereavement
  • controlling or expressing anger
  • receiving/giving healthy love
  • being a highly sensitive person
  • issues of trust
  • expressing healthy sexuality
  • effecting change
  • relaxing and playing
  • giving care vs taking care
  • a fear of being judged/criticized
  • low self-esteem
  • being judged by their appearance
  • lack of motivation
  • feeling isolated
  • feeling a victim
  • being a people-pleaser
  • fears evoked by the threat of financial crisis
  • expressing personal power
  • gaining self-awareness
  • maintaining personal boundaries

What happens in a therapy session

The seven-year Psychotherapy studies and 20 years clinical practice I have experienced to date, have equipped me with the understanding to offer you a dependable therapy practice. In fact, I have been fascinated for more than 40 years with the value of a therapeutic approach to life and have personally experienced the benefits of learning through many individual and group sessions. I look forward to working with you to help you discover your inner strengths as you learn to express more of who you are in the world.
I think of myself as a “soulsmith” … facilitating the awakening of your natural potential for unique personal and relational experiences … a true journey of change achieved through a relationship of trust.

Location

My office is located in the Yonge/St. Clair area of Toronto.
