I specialize in supporting men navigating emotional regulation, anger, depression, anxiety, burnout, and relationship challenges. My clients often struggle with perfectionism, work pressure, identity and purpose questions, and the tension between independence and vulnerability.

My approach integrates CBT, EFT, and trauma-informed care to help clients build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and strengthen communication and relational skills. I provide a collaborative and culturally humble space for exploring identity, values, and patterns, with the goal of fostering resilience and meaningful change.

For over 20 years, I’ve worked with men who carry more than most people will ever see — the weight of responsibility, pressure, loss, and anger that never quite finds a safe place to land. I’ve been in the helping profession since 1994, and my experience spans trauma, addiction, relationship breakdown, first responder burnout and compartmentalization, and the painful aftermath of reacting in ways that don’t reflect who you truly want to be.

Whether you’re working to manage anger, repair trust, or understand the roots of destructive patterns, therapy with me is about accountability without shame and healing without judgment. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s driving your reactions, strengthen self-control, and help you rebuild from a place of integrity and calm strength.

No judgment. No jargon. Just real conversations that help you get back to yourself.

I am part of the Surrey Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310‬.

I work from a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach. I believe that you have everything you need to heal within you and lead a more authentic and meaningful life, and my work with you will help bring that out. I use a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) lens. I believe your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are all interconnected and each one of them impacts and affects the other.

However, I also often use other modalities in my practice based on your individual needs. Some other modalities I use are acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Gestalt, and observed experiential integration (OEI) level 1.

Regardless of the modalities I use with you in our work together, I place a huge emphasis on getting to know you and your story.

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 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.

Through my work, I realized how much pressure people experienced in their day-to-day lives and the effects this had on their relationship with themselves and others. Through my therapeutic work, I observed the consequences of society placing such a strong emphasis on perfectionism, a hyper-vigilance on “fixing” oneself, and external merit. Seeing adults, teens, and children struggling to understand their identity, self-worth, and values motivated me to gain expertise in various therapeutic modalities. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, and trauma, self-worth, identity, and relationships, and narrative as well as mindfulness approaches.

How do we know what works – and why? I believe that most people can ultimately provide the answers for themselves; however, it may take some exploration. I therefore use strategies that are evidence-based and research-driven, to help clients build resilience and develop effective coping strategies.
A counsellor is someone who is there to provide guidance and support in times of unmanageable stress. While our sessions may draw from various counselling approaches, including CBT, SFBT, and Narrative Therapy, the client ultimately provides the backdrop – and puts in the work – that leads to lasting change.
