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.

My main focus is understanding the people I work with. I am curious about why we behave, think, and feel like we do and I want to help you know your life story more meaningfully. The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself. My goal is to help people learn how to reconnect and rediscover themselves, with the aim of cultivating a more compassionate and understanding relationship with oneself, ultimately leading to a greater understanding of who you truly are. As a directive therapist, my approach is marked by a profound intuition, a keen attunement to others, and an unwavering sense of compassion. In our sessions, we’ll delve into the art of emotional regulation and fortify the mind-body connection.

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.

Years in practice: 18
Offers:  Remote Therapy
Ever feel like saying FML? Between working nonstop to get ahead, demanding relationships, marriage and kids, it can feel impossible to make time for yourself. It’s no wonder your mental health eventually takes a toll. Showing up as anxiety, anger and depression or some other stressful situation that pulls you down. So how can you keep up when most men choose to isolate and go it alone?
Well, one of the best ways to stay sane in an insane world is to stay connected and check-in with a trusted friend or guide. No matter what you’re going through, I’m here to help. My practice specializes in men’s issues like stress, anxiety, anger, depression, communication in relationships, and a lack of meaning in life.
My style is direct and grounded in a dual-accredited background—a crucial asset often missing in the field. I hold an MA in Counselling Psychology and am a retired MD. This combination ensures a powerful, results-driven approach to change. I have also completed VIU’s Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy program.

I have significant experience working with men, and have developed a real sensitivity and empathy for the struggle many men face in opening up about, and making sense of their emotions. I believe we all have different ways of expressing ourselves and that using emotional language is not the only – or the correct – way to navigate our experience and relationships. If you are worried about being constantly asked how you feel, or about long awkward silences in the therapy room, that’s not what you will find here. I use humour, directness, prompts, helpful strategies, and most importantly, I work alongside you in a very human and engaged way. Our sessions will be collaborative and lead by what feels helpful to you.

Hi, I am a registered clinical counsellor and psychological first aid provider whose counselling work integrates emotional, physiological and social avenues to achieve lasting positive change. I have supported those struggling with depression, addiction, anxiety, eating disorders, co-dependency, life transitions, emotional regulation, stress management, attachment disorders, self-harm, OCD and other mental health issues. Using a cognitive-behavioural approach (CBT), I work with clients to break and replace self-defeating thoughts and behaviours. Having been raised in a bicultural home, I also recognize the important, yet often difficult, demands placed by family and culture and jointly seeks ways to balance such needs.

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.

I provide counselling services in French and English for individuals in matters related to anxiety, depression, life transition, gender, grief, loss and suicide. My practice is founded on the belief that you are not the “problems” present in your life, and that, above all, you are greater than the sum of the events in your life. As my counselling approach is strength-based, Solution-Focused and Narrative-rooted, our conversations will identify, explore and honour the big and small ways you defy and resist “problems”, while re-authoring a deeper and richer version of your life and journey.
