Hello! I’m Ethan (he/him). As a trans, queer, neurodivergent person with lived experience with mental health struggles, I bring a personal perspective to my work, which enhances my ability to understand and address the nuanced experiences of my clients.

 

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have an Honours Criminology degree from Nipissing University and am currently completing a Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University.

 

I am passionate about advocating for systemic change and fostering a therapeutic environment that celebrates diversity and promotes resilience. When working with me, you can expect a safe and inclusive space, that is non-judgmental, anti-oppressive, collaborative and compassionate.

I welcome and celebrate the opportunity to work with individuals from a diverse set of backgrounds and identities. I work with individuals (12+) and utilize an integrative approach that is tailored to your unique needs, combining elements and techniques from multiple therapeutic backgrounds including:

 

• Narrative Therapy

• Dialectic Behavioural Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

• Gestalt Therapy

• Compassion & Mindfulness Based Therapies

• Solution Focused Therapy

• Trauma-Informed Therapy

 

We may work well together if you’re coming to therapy to explore:

• Gender and Sexual Identity

• Neurodivergence

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Relationship to Substances

• Grief/loss

• Life changes & transitions

• Relationship concerns

• Self-esteem

• Stress

• Emotional regulation

When I am not working, you may find me spending time with my dogs and loved ones, watching crime documentaries, reading, completing sudokus, playing video games and working to explore my own identity and interests further.

 

If you are looking for a therapist who understands the complexities of identity from both a professional and personal perspective, I’d be honoured to provide support and explore with you. I'm available for a free consultation to determine if I'm the right fit for your needs.
