Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the life you want? Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, or burnout, you don’t have to face it alone. At DB Counselling, I offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.

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.

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.

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.

When clients work with me there is a guarantee that change will occur. This change does not have to be drastic or grand. It can come from a new or revised perspective, different level of awareness, change in reaction time or with a slight adjustment to feelings and thoughts behind the challenge. I focus on balancing the right model, the correct therapy and the appropriate strategies for each client. Because every client is different, the therapy and services provided should be as unique as the person(s) sitting across from me. I adhere to one philosophy with every client: if your comfort level is high, then you will do great work in therapy. This means the counselling process is driven by the client and based on their needs.

My experience working within interdisciplinary treatment teams taught me that measurable changes to mental health function are critical. I have found that the counselling process can be vague, unstructured, and without clear timelines. I set clear goals with clients and remain accountable to treatment progression and achieving therapeutic outcomes. Struggling with mental health concerns is common, and I aim to normalize this with clients so we can start treatment. I do not want to just work in the field of mental health, but want to change it. I want men to speak up and get help when they cannot cope.

I have been working with adult individuals and couples for over 10 years now. My practice focuses on existential humanistic therapy, compassionate counselling for those suffering grief, loss, pain, and isolation. Ultimately, the main goal is to discover one’s meaning and develop it to build more strength and confidence to achieve other goals. Many of my clients are men suffering depression, some even contemplating suicide. I use cognitive behavioural therapy to assist them in analyzing and coordinating their thoughts, behaviours, and actions into more effective and satisfying lives. I work online and by telephone with Canadian clients in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as the Territories. Remote therapy only.

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.
