MA in Mental Health Counselling, Palo Alto University California

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.

I aim to create a non-judgmental space where the relationship between client and counsellor is built on trust and mutual respect. I see therapy as a journey—one that requires patience, empathy, and a deep respect for your unique story. My approach is person-centered, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own life. You’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to support and collaborate with you to find a path forward that truly fits who you are and what you need.

Masters of Art in Counselling Psychology (MACP)

Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work with men who are tired of holding it all in—overthinking everything, feeling pressure to always perform, or just feeling emotionally shut down. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you show up.

Therapy with me gives you space to slow down, actually hear yourself think, and get to the bottom of what’s going on.

I draw from approaches like CBT, ACT, EFT, and IFS—but I keep it practical and focused.

Together, we make sense of what’s driving your stress, patterns, and reactions—and build real strategies to help you take action. The goal is for you to feel more in control, make clearer decisions, and move through life with more confidence and direction.

For 18+ years I have assisted adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I use a collaborative approach with clients to develop treatment plans, and goal setting. You know your experience — your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — better than anyone else. I incorporate mindfulness into my therapy practice to aid in anxiety reduction, productivity, self-awareness and confidence. I have studied and include in my practice other approaches such as cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, secular Buddhism, narrative, Imago (for effective couples’ communication) and emotion-focused therapy.

I firmly believe that every individual possesses inner strengths that may go unnoticed due to their current life circumstances and obstacles. My primary focus is to assist clients in discovering their true potential and uncovering their innate strengths. By recognizing and tapping into these strengths, I strongly believe that clients can develop new skills and strategies to navigate through challenging times.

To effectively collaborate with clients and help them achieve their goals during difficult times, I employ a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to their specific needs. These approaches may include Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, among others.

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.

Pragmatic and Solution Oriented. First, I clear up any vague or unclear treatment goals or confusions. Before assuming that there is a problem based on faulty thinking, I review the basic life situation to make sure that basic human needs are being met. I take into account any impulses and direction that come from the deeper, more authentic Self (psycho-spiritual issues). When indicated, I will work with dreams, metaphor, and imagination. On a good day, I help people make the necessary changes to their inner and outer worlds, so their goals are met.
