I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies and skills while simultaneously working through the causes of issues. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving your understanding of your emotions, finding life-direction, resolving internal conflicts, or making peace with past experiences. Everyone’s needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach.

At Family Counselling Centres, we have abandoned the one-size-fits-all approach to mental health and wellness. We recognize that each case is acutely different than the next, which is why we believe in holistic wellness; an approach that considers the whole person. We also utilize the latest research in brain development and mental health methodology.

Our therapists provide a non-judgemental, safe, accepting and supportive presence. We understand that there continues to be stigma associated with mental health and accessing services. Our therapists are advocates for prioritizing mental health and we value a preventative approach.

Sometimes, the challenges we face can overwhelm our abilities to cope. This can lead us away from our values, sense of self and can make the future look uncertain.

During times of transition and uncertainty, we may require some extra support to help us make sense of the things getting in our way. My role as a therapist is not to provide you with an answer, it is to help you make meaning of your experiences.

I believe each person has their own innate wisdom and my job is to create a safe relational space for them to access it.

Making the decision to ask for help is hard, being a man and asking for help is even harder. The expectations of masculinity have changed- I know I’ve lived it! I am a father, husband, friend and professional who is navigating these expectations-to be a protector and provider, a partner and mentor, an empathetic listener and a high-five celebrator.

My greatest learning is that vulnerability is strength, sharing is courage, and understanding yourself is vital. I will meet you where you are and together, we will figure out what will work for you. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship, career change, divorce/separation, parenting, anger, and trauma (workplace/childhood). Let’s talk.

I have a special interest in men’s mental health, ADHD, and sleep problems. I support men who feel pressure to hold it together, push through, or handle things alone. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or have a clear goal from day one. At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful change happens through small, steady steps.

You don’t have to overhaul your life all at once. Therapy can be a place to pause, get your bearings, and figure out your next solid move—like checking the map before continuing the hike. My goal is to offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can build insight, develop tools, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence, at your own pace.

Are you a couple looking to work through infidelity, sexuality, or just simply want the skills to better communicate and understand each other?

I work with individuals and couples, where I also consider the impact of trauma and culture in the issues you’re looking to be supported with.

My own practice is focussed on working with men and professional pilots. I spent over 20 years as a professional pilot, from air ambulance to airline, and I have developed a strong ability to assess risk.

My training included a sound academic base and focussed on the soft skills of professional counselling such as listening and attending, making sure a client is seen and heard. I continue taking further training, particularly in areas that have evidence of being effective in treating trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD. My approach is client centered, trauma informed  and can include the modalities of EMDR, narative therapy, CBT, REBT, parts work (IFS), and somatic elements.
