As a registered clinical counsellor, my style has been described as warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I work with men and people of any gender who experience suicidality, addictions, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and a range of traumas. I am energized to work alongside folks who seek to live in alignment with their values. I use multiple modalities (ACT, DBT, parts work / IFS, and more) which are empirically supported, trauma-informed and respect your autonomy and choice. Many of my clients navigate disability and chronic pain. In working together, we will support you in building skills and new patterns on your chosen path of growth and change. I currently offer sliding scale/reduced rates.

I’m passionate about welcoming individuals of all backgrounds into my practice and my primary areas of focus are clients with anxiety and depression, substance use challenges, developmental trauma, stress management, and life transitions. I use a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens to guide my clients in finding greater strength and resiliency in their lives. As someone who has changed careers a few times, I understand the process of finding purpose in your life and am able to provide tools to those searching for meaning in their everyday lives.

Many men don’t talk about it openly, but feeling disconnected — from your partner, your emotions, or even from yourself — can quietly take a huge toll. Whether it shows up as withdrawal, shutting down, anger, overwhelm, ADHD-like overload, or not knowing how to express what you actually feel, the experience underneath is often the same: it’s lonely to carry life without feeling understood.

In therapy, I help men build the skills and inner foundation for healthier relationships — not just with others, but with themselves. I support clients navigating emotional shutdown, communication barriers, trauma, ADHD/ASD-related overwhelm, and the kind of quiet pain that rarely gets put into words.

I am part of the Chilliwack Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310‬.

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.

Think of me as your emotional coach. I’ll help you understand and communicate emotions; stop bottling up and suppressing feelings; manage anxiety and anger; get unstuck from helplessness and depression; stop people-pleasing and boost your self-esteem. If you tried counselling but haven’t uncovered core issues, your progress plateaued, or didn’t gain anything from it and you wish to achieve deep, lasting changes in your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours, then you are ready to stop talking in circles and start tackling your problems head-on to make real progress.
I will intentionally help you pause and slow things down to explore the underlying processes that are keeping you stuck in unhelpful cycles/patterns. Together we will make a tangible plan to break the cycles, process traumas, practice strategies to support yourself outside of session, and ensure you are continuously improving in your life and relationships.
Overall, my skills and experience enable me to support you in achieving emotional wellbeing, integrity, empathy, and connection with yourself and others. The first step toward change is always the hardest, yet once that step has been made, I believe everyone has the innate capacity for positive transformation. I am here to help you remove the barriers.
Sessions offered both online and in-person at 214-3001 Tutt Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2H4. I provide direct billing for: RCMP, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), FNHA, and Pacific Blue Cross.

Accepting NEW Clients – Are you looking for support in navigating anxious thoughts or feelings, or what feels like a dark cloud following you around? Are you tired of feeling like you’re not enough? Is a new life change causing stress or needing exploring? Do you feel burdened by obsessive thinking, or difficulties with food and body image? Are there relationships in your life that you’d like to explore, or better understand how you feel when around others? Are you simply hoping to build self-awareness or coping strategies?

It’s normal if reaching out feels scary. I’ve worked with individuals in public, athletics, and private health settings, and i’m looking forward to connecting with you.

I’m a Family Systems Therapist who has been in practice since 1988. I work with men from a family of origin or a family systems approach. This means, in part, that I think of men and their emotional functioning within a systems framework. I think about how their sense of themselves, and their emotional function has been shaped by the relational dynamic of their friends and family, past and present. This then contributes to emotional health symptoms like depression.

I am a registered counsellor from Hong Kong. I specialize in helping clients heal from traumatic or distressing experiences, primarily by utilizing Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing and Lifespan Integration. My approach is also grounded in somatic psychology, Ego States theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I practice in English, Cantonese and Mandarin.
My interest in becoming a counsellor came from my experience of witnessing a close family member suffering from schizophrenia, along with my own struggles with family and relationship traumas, anxiety and self-confidence. My goal is to come alongside my clients to create conditions for healing, resilience and growth.
