In my therapy practice, I deeply understand the frustration and confusion that come with phrases like “I am so frustrated! What is going on in my mind?” If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. My commitment is to create a safe, empathetic environment where your thoughts and feelings are not just heard, but deeply understood and validated.

 

Together, we will navigate your inner world, easing the overwhelming thoughts that can feel isolating and confining. In our sessions, whether in-person or online, we will explore your unique challenges in a warm, inviting atmosphere, gently guiding you towards a journey of personal growth and emotional resilience. Your struggles are real, and you matter immensely. If you’re ready to begin this transformative path, reach out to me. Our collaborative work will focus on creating a space where your voice leads the way, where we share the goal of your well-being and inner peace.

Now welcoming new clients in Ontario! I provide virtual therapy for people who feel like they’re constantly holding it together on the outside, but inside it’s a different story. Whether it’s anger catching you off guard, tension in your relationships, sadness that lingers, or stress that’s hard to shake, you don’t have to figure it out alone. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens when we feel seen, heard, and accepted.

If you’re curious about working together, I offer a free 30-minute consultation so we can connect and see if it feels like a good fit. You can book an appointment directly through my website.

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.

I work online with couples and individuals across Canada (BC, YT, NWT, SK, MB, Nunavut) who want to live with more joy and meaning in their lives in spite of the trauma they’ve faced. Though the past can hold us back, it does not have to define us. The counselling I offer can help you process and integrate your past so that it doesn’t get so much in the way of you achieving what you want in life – whether that be progressing your life and career goals, deepening your relationships with others, processing grief and loss, becoming more confident in your personal identity, or managing and growing through depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. I work to connect you with your emotions and build concrete skills that will help you thrive.

MSW, PhD, University of British Columbia
Years in practice: 25+

My approach to psychotherapy is tailored to the particular problems, strengths, and experiences of each individual client. Although I am informed by my research – and the research and theories of others – on identity and personality, emotions and interpersonal relationships, and the effects of trauma, I base my work in therapy on an understanding of the individual. This individualized focus lends itself to a variety of issues that lead people to seek therapy. While every therapy is unique, I maintain an overall commitment to establishing a professional, safe, and comfortable therapeutic relationship to help clients address important personal goals and challenges.

I work with men who are tired of holding it all in—overthinking everything, feeling pressure to always perform, or just feeling emotionally shut down. You don’t need to have it all figured out before you show up.

Therapy with me gives you space to slow down, actually hear yourself think, and get to the bottom of what’s going on.

I draw from approaches like CBT, ACT, EFT, and IFS—but I keep it practical and focused.

Together, we make sense of what’s driving your stress, patterns, and reactions—and build real strategies to help you take action. The goal is for you to feel more in control, make clearer decisions, and move through life with more confidence and direction.

It’s tough to be a man. I know. I’ve been one all of my life. Whether it be emotional or sexual intimacy issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem and the over-reliance on career, substances, money or sex, men can get lost in a thousand different ways. For 36 years now I have been counselling men and know this territory inside and out.
