Hi, I'm Ted. I specialize in treating men who are navigating addiction and related challenges. Whether you’re dealing with mild or more severe substance use, I start with the same question: Why the pain? Addiction isn’t the heart of the problem. It’s a coping strategy for managing our pain. It works until it doesn’t. That’s why our work doesn’t stop at addiction. My scope of practice extends to relationships, identity, trauma, anxiety/mood disorders, masculinity, and anything else that might be fuelling the need to escape.

My approach is client-centred, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive. I move at your pace and offer you the freedom to shape your own path. My goal is to empower you with clear, honest guidance. In therapy, I use elements of evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, IFS, and EMDR, adapting them to fit who you are and what you need.
