I help men who feel burned out, stuck, or disconnected find clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. Our sessions are practical and down-to-earth, giving you tools to manage stress, improve relationships, and reconnect with what matters most. These tools are rooted in evidence based practices including CBT, DBT, and Adlerian therapy.

Our sessions will be a space for the deeper conversations that bring lasting change. Whether in-person at my Abbotsford office or online, you will have a supportive space to slow down, unpack what’s going on, and take steps toward a life that feels like your own.

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.

Our biggest moments of crisis, when supported with care, consciousness, and insight, are in fact our greatest sources of personal growth and transformation. I help individuals to strengthen the resources they have within themselves, learn to navigate challenging and uncomfortable emotions and life experiences, and build resiliency to navigate through tough times. As you begin to more consciously navigate life’s ebbs and flows, I support you in moving towards a more comfortable, content and meaningful life.

I’m a registered clinical counsellor and certified sexologist. A big part of my work is centred around understanding sexuality and relationships, and supporting clients as they move through the challenges that can show up in those parts of their lives.

My therapy style is rooted in being curious, authentic, and collaborative.I see therapy as a shared process, where we work together instead of me prescribing solutions. I use evidence-based approaches while also offering meaningful tools and takeaways you can actually use in your day-to-day life. I aim to create a space that feels comfortable and honest, where you can show up as you are and move at your own pace. I specialize in sex therapy, couples therapy, and trauma.

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.
