Description
Taking the first step to make change in your life and accept support can sometimes feel the most challenging. As a counsellor at a sober living house prior to my work with First Step Men's Therapy, I gained extensive experience working with men from all walks of life, including those struggling with addiction, depression, grief, low self-esteem, anger, anxiety, and relationship issues. I understand that men often struggle with societal expectations of masculinity and the pressure to suppress their emotions, and use a holistic approach to help men address the underlying causes in their story.
