How do we know what works – and why? I believe that most people can ultimately provide the answers for themselves; however, it may take some exploration. I therefore use strategies that are evidence-based and research-driven, to help clients build resilience and develop effective coping strategies.
A counsellor is someone who is there to provide guidance and support in times of unmanageable stress. While our sessions may draw from various counselling approaches, including CBT, SFBT, and Narrative Therapy, the client ultimately provides the backdrop – and puts in the work – that leads to lasting change.

Compassion and straightforwardness make up the cornerstone of how I work. As a counsellor, my goal is to help people recognise where they are, how they got there, and assist them in building a path forward.

I have been a counsellor since 2003 and hold a Masters of Education with a speciality in counselling. I am registered to provide counselling services for the First Nations Health Authority. You may be eligible for reimbursement of counselling services if you have a benefits package through your employer. Please check with them to see if you qualify.

I offer a complimentary telephone consultation so that we can determine if working together would be a good fit for you.

My main focus is understanding the people I work with. I am curious about why we behave, think, and feel like we do and I want to help you know your life story more meaningfully. The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself. My goal is to help people learn how to reconnect and rediscover themselves, with the aim of cultivating a more compassionate and understanding relationship with oneself, ultimately leading to a greater understanding of who you truly are. As a directive therapist, my approach is marked by a profound intuition, a keen attunement to others, and an unwavering sense of compassion. In our sessions, we’ll delve into the art of emotional regulation and fortify the mind-body connection.

I work from a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach. I believe that you have everything you need to heal within you and lead a more authentic and meaningful life, and my work with you will help bring that out. I use a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) lens. I believe your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are all interconnected and each one of them impacts and affects the other.

However, I also often use other modalities in my practice based on your individual needs. Some other modalities I use are acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Gestalt, and observed experiential integration (OEI) level 1.

Regardless of the modalities I use with you in our work together, I place a huge emphasis on getting to know you and your story.

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.

I specialize in two areas. Men’s sexual health and relationship concerns, where we co-examine the psychological, biological, social, and behavioural factors behind sexual issues or relationship insecurities that are creating barriers and holding men back from connecting.

I also help men explore work and life transitions: stressors that make people resistant to change. For some, it can be examining their “blind spots” that prevent them from recognizing the right time to make a transition.

I use a strengths-based approach to move you from where you are to where you want to be. I provide a caring and nurturing space for clients to express feelings, emotions, behaviours, and relationships.

I practice from an anti-oppressive, intersectional feminist, and trauma-informed lens. To be grounded in anti-oppressive practice from an intersection feminist lens means recognizing and examining the harmful systems that impact individual’s mental health. Pain and suffering are not created in a vacuum, but rather experienced as a result of the unjust systems that influence daily living. These influences can include patriarchy, capitalism, colonialism, heteronormativity, and prescribed gender norms.

I am humbled to have been working in the helping field since 2003. During this time, I have walked alongside many people as they navigate life, deal with hardships, and persevere. I see my role in supporting you as holding space for your hurt and distress while also assisting you in finding the change you hope to see within yourself and the relationships around you. I strive to create a partnership of trust and support and to shine a light on your strength and capacity. Typically, people come to see me because life is hard, but counselling does not need to be. I infuse our time together with hope, and laughter. A little bit about me is that I am a partner, father, weekend athlete and outdoor enthusiast.
