In my work with men, I provide a down-to-Earth space to sort through what’s happening emotionally, mentally, and relationally — without shame or pressure. Whether your goal is to change specific behaviours, communicate more effectively, understand triggers, or reconnect to yourself and the people around you, we move at a pace that feels safe and workable.
Ultimately, my job is to support you in building a life where you feel more grounded, more connected, and more able to trust yourself — in your relationships and in who you’re becoming. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again — calmer, clearer, more connected, and more in control of your life — I’m here to walk alongside you in that process.
I am part of the Vancouver Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310.

I believe every individual has a unique experience that requires therapy that is tailored to them. In the safety net of psychotherapy, you will explore your life experiences, gain new perspectives, reframe experiences positively, and learn new adaptive skills. If you have anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism, twice-exceptional, or are an immigrant or a caregiver, I will work with you to help gain skills that will make it easier to manage and improve your mental health, maximize your potential at work, advocate for yourself, and improve your relationships. You are brave to take part in a journey that can be overwhelming and frightening and I look forward to accompanying you on this path to self-growth.

I work with the individual in a client-centered way to focus on their goals for therapy. I then collaborate with the individual and integrate a variety of therapy models including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-based therapies to help them better manage their difficulties and move toward their goals.

Momenta Clinic for Psychological Wellness

At our clinics, we embrace a compassionate, evidence-based therapeutic approach tailored to the unique needs of each individual, regardless of background or identity. We are committed to breaking down the barriers and stigma often associated with men seeking mental health treatment, offering a safe space for growth and healing. For us, part of creating a psychologically safe space for men is through providing a confidential and non-judgmental environment where every client feels valued and heard. Our diverse range of therapies, from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to mindfulness practices, is designed to empower our clients, helping them navigate life’s challenges with strength and resilience.
Note: In Ontario, we only recommend therapists who meet our minimum qualification standards, which include holding a Master’s degree and being registered with the CPO, OCSWSSW, CRPO, or CCPA.

I provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for adults and adolescents experiencing symptoms due to traumatic, distressful events in childhood and/or adulthood. Feeling overwhelmed or stuck prevents you from living in the present moment. EMDR, as a comprehensive therapy, can help unlock traumatic memories trapped in the brain. Symptoms such as panic attacks, phobias, flashbacks, depression, and anxiety can affect our level of functionality, and the way we relate to ourselves and others in daily life, work, home, and school. Take the next step to your wellness! I look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome! Taking the first step in a journey towards wellness is often the toughest part. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, struggling to process your emotions, or difficulty feeling fulfilled, I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you take the first steps to heal and grow. Whether you have experienced a recent trauma or life event that has brought you pain, or altered the path you were walking on. Or, perhaps you have been struggling for a while to overcome anxious feelings and sadness. Therapy is a place to discover a new way of being in the world.
Therapy is designed to help you become more self-aware, and give you tools to overcome the struggles you are facing. Remote therapy only.

The human brain is an amazing tool with incredible possibilities. However, sometimes this wonderful tool can generate states and thoughts that are not as useful to us. Luckily our mind is also flexible, which means that with some intentional adjustments we can often change how we think, feel and behave. In a way, therapy is all about getting to know ourselves and using our mind’s own tricks to our advantage, to facilitate the changes we want to see.
I specialize in working with adults with anxiety and self-esteem issues. I also specialize in couple’s counselling and helping couples maneuver a variety of challenges in their relationship, such as a breakdown of communication, recurring arguments, life transitions, and intimacy issues.
