I am a private practice psychologist focusing on depression, anxiety, anger and related mood issues. Overall, my approach is more on the structured side. I approach therapy as a set of moves that anybody can learn in order to help themselves work with thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Although history can be important, the main focus of my work is here and now, because that’s the only time when change can happen.

Many of my clients feel worried that others don’t like them, and are scared to speak up in their relationships. They’ve spent a long time silencing what they really think and feel inside because they’re afraid they’ll be rejected if they share their full selves with others. I help clients understand and change the underlying patterns keeping them stuck. You can build confidence managing emotions, setting boundaries and having more of what you want in relationships. You can accept and even like who you are and have the confidence to make changes in your life that bring satisfaction at work, connection and closeness in relationships, and trust yourself to get through the hard things.

My practice specializes in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic illness or cancer, ADHD, grief, and major life transitions, including the shift into adulthood and evolving family dynamics. I recognize that our identities and personal narratives are shaped by lived experiences—challenges, traumas, and milestones that influence our resilience and self-perception. By exploring these influences, we can foster personal growth and meaningful transformation.

I work online with couples and individuals across Canada (BC, YT, NWT, SK, MB, Nunavut) who want to live with more joy and meaning in their lives in spite of the trauma they’ve faced. Though the past can hold us back, it does not have to define us. The counselling I offer can help you process and integrate your past so that it doesn’t get so much in the way of you achieving what you want in life – whether that be progressing your life and career goals, deepening your relationships with others, processing grief and loss, becoming more confident in your personal identity, or managing and growing through depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. I work to connect you with your emotions and build concrete skills that will help you thrive.

We all need an outlet outside of family, friends and work to open-up about issues that need clarification. We can collaborate on solutions, and come up with ideas. Counselling often helps in dealing with problems that are bringing us down, and we feel holding us back from progressing in life.
My approach is influenced by person-centered theory using techniques from Solution Focused Therapy. I do not focus a great deal on emotions or get stuck in the past. Instead, I work on current behaviors, and where you want to go from here by breaking down what is holding you back.

Ever feel like saying F#CK My Life? I sure do, especially with therapy being one of the toughest things in the world to sell to guys! Not only do you have to ask for help, which is hard enough, but then there’s the ridiculous stigma that getting therapy is admitting weakness instead of strength. On top of that, therapy can be time consuming, results aren’t guaranteed and it isn’t cheap either. So why bother? As renowned psychiatrist Carl Jung once said “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” My counselling style is pragmatic and heartfelt. I have weathered my fair share of storms. Why is this happening to me is an important question to ask. The answer often lies in our own behaviour, habits and shadow. My in-person practice specializes in psychedelic-assisted therapy and men’s issues, including anger, break-ups, depression & anxiety.

I am a therapist who wants to help you, in the way that works for you, and at the pace that works for you. I seek to create a safe, calm, and open place for you to explore what is really going on. I have lived a richly experienced life – and I know first hand what it’s like to be in a difficult place. I believe that my broad life experience – with both positive and many negative experiences – gives me an exceptional ability to understand, empathize with, and inspire the clients I work with.

I use a multifaceted approach to therapy including EFT, CBT, MI, NVC, and more – what does that mean? I will be able to connect and work with you in the way that works for you.
