I am a retired career firefighter that believes first responder occupational stress and repeated exposures to potentially traumatic events can sometimes lead to struggles in enjoying quality of life. Therapy can be an opportunity to to work collaboratively together in navigating the balance of work and personal life. In my practice I draw upon evidence based modalities such as CBT and ACT in working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma or OCD.

It takes courage, reflection, and a few calming breaths to reach out for support when difficult life circumstances present themselves. Taking the important first step starts the journey toward applying new ways of approaching personal and relational difficulties. We will walk together in a collaborative relationship, test new skills that we learn along the way, and explore the possibilities!

I work with men who are carrying more than they show, and who are tired of holding everything in just to get through the day. If you’re feeling burnt out, disconnected, overwhelmed by stress, or having trouble showing up in your relationships the way you want to, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep doing this silently.

My approach is straightforward, supportive, and focused on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface so you can get back to feeling like yourself again — not a different man, just a less overloaded one. In our work together, we slow things down enough for you to breathe, think clearly, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been in survival mode for too long.

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

I have worked successfully with a lot of men in my practice. I understand how hard it can be for men to seek help. At the same time I know from experience that there’s tremendous benefit involved for those men who take that first step. My counselling approach is about compassion and non-judgement. Whatever is happening for you will be accepted and faced together. From a stance of respect and an underlying core belief that you have the wisdom within you to overcome your challenges, I will support you in recognizing and engaging powerful resources both within you and around you. Counselling theories and methodologies I use include Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I am a counselor and registered personal trainer who can combine mental health counseling with physical well-being. Our sessions will begin around understanding your present environment- what do we want to keep and what can we let go of. Next, what are you willing to try for your future as well as what has happened in your past. I combine my understanding of clinical practice philosophies (CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy) with Indigenous mental health perspectives and strategies. I believe well-being is a practice. To sustain and nurture this practice does take some practice and help. My role is to hear where you are at, provide alternative perspectives on challenges, and provide potential solutions we can practice.

One of the most noble pursuits and individual can have is to strive to lead a meaningful and purposeful life.  This can be an extremely difficult task, both in terms of determining what this personally means and then figuring out how to get there.  When we feel stuck and overwhelmed, other negative and self-limiting states also take shape including anxiety and depression, leaving us full of bad habits and desperate for change.  In the therapeutic work with Andrew, the aim is to uncover the root causes that inhibit fulfillment and to further apply practical strategies that will permit change and foster personal growth.

It’s important to me that my clients feel like they walk away from counselling with something, whether that’s a new insight, a skill, or a different perspective on what is an issue for them. My approach is collaborative, direct, and fully guided by my clients.

I feel it’s important to acknowledge the hand you were dealt and consider upbringing, socioeconomic status, race, sexual orientation, and gender norms and how they play into your own experience.

I work in trauma, anxiety, depression, and I’m passionate about helping late discovered adults with ADHD and autism understand themselves better. Some therapeutic styles I employ include CBT, DBT, IFS (internal family systems), and narrative.

Online and in-person sessions available Saturday through Wednesday.

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.

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.

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.

I adopt a relational developmental framework to counselling, applying a trauma informed and anti-oppressive lens. My focus is on creating a warm, secure and trusting environment where you feel supported and seen. My instinct is to be curious about the impact of family, culture, community, religion, institutions and social norms on our development and relationships to ourselves, others and the world around us. The impact of these systems can be deep seated, like the roots of a tree. I am a warm, genuine, compassionate, curious and non-judgemental person. I love to laugh, I truly believe in the power of humour to connect us and lighten the shadows.
