I provide online therapy using evidence-based practices to help individuals overcome their challenges by learning better skills. Skills that can help them gain control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and to live more successful lives. The focus of my approach is change oriented and compassion-driven. Assessments are done at the beginning to best understand the individual and plan for helpful life giving conversations. Remote therapy only.

As a male therapist and father to a young son, I’m especially passionate about men’s mental health. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be to create safe, non-judgmental spaces where men feel supported in opening up and doing the deeper work. I also offer sliding scale options to help make therapy more accessible for potential clients who are being priced out of mental healthcare, something I care deeply about.
I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with nearly a decade of experience in community counselling, support, and advocacy. I offer a down-to-earth, trauma-informed approach for clients dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, or relationship strain. I draw from CBT, DBT, and strength-based tools to help you better understand what you’re going through, cope more effectively, and move forward in a way that works for you. My style is warm, direct, and grounded in real-life experience.

At Family Counselling Centres, we have abandoned the one-size-fits-all approach to mental health and wellness. We recognize that each case is acutely different than the next, which is why we believe in holistic wellness; an approach that considers the whole person. We also utilize the latest research in brain development and mental health methodology.
Our therapists provide a non-judgemental, safe, accepting and supportive presence. We understand that there continues to be stigma associated with mental health and accessing services. Our therapists are advocates for prioritizing mental health and we value a preventative approach.

I believe in using our Diversity as an instrument to support people in their growth, rather than as a weapon to hurt ourselves and others. Therefore, I am committed to providing a respectful, safe, and welcoming space regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, socioeconomic condition, disability, or religion.
I bring different theoretical approaches to my practice, such as Psychoanalysis, Family Dynamics Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focus Therapy (CFT) and Traditional Indigenous Cultural practices. Services in English and Spanish, in-person or video sessions, and a sliding scale as needed.

Fit is everything in therapy, without it you can feel like you’re spinning your wheels wasting time and money, just not getting the results you want from your investment. The men who work well with me prefer someone who is no-nonsense, likes to laugh, swears a lot, and does not take themselves too seriously,. At the same time, I’m down for tackling serious, dark, gnarly issues that you may never have been willing to even say out loud.
I’m also a semi-retired dentist (weird combo, I know), with extensive expertise in chronic pain and serious health issues. I work with pain patients and caregivers to manage the wear and tear that pain and illness has on folks and their families.
Sound like maybe a good fit? Reach out.

I work with a wide range of people who may seek increased perspective, self-understanding, and clarity in their everyday lives.

Life today can feel like a constant race. Social media, career pressure, and messages about masculinity can leave you anxious, frustrated, or disconnected.
I work with young men who feel stuck, discouraged, or unsure of their direction. Therapy is a space to slow down and look closely at your thoughts, feelings, and patterns without judgment.
I do not give advice or try to fix you. I work collaboratively with you to build awareness, understand what is getting in the way, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and meaning that feels real and workable in your life.

I am honored to help those desiring meaningful change in their lives – personal mental, emotional and behavioural change is some of the most difficult work one can do and that is why most avoid it. From 27 years of practice and having worked with very challenging situations, I have refined my therapeutic approach to quickly assist with understanding of your symptoms, the real problem and practical strategies to gain relief. Therapy is a process yet a ‘deep dive’ into what troubles you can be achieved within a few sessions! I am determined to assist in the most effective and efficient way!
