It’s important to me that my clients feel like they walk away from counselling with something, whether that’s a new insight, a skill, or a different perspective on what is an issue for them. My approach is collaborative, direct, and fully guided by my clients.

I feel it’s important to acknowledge the hand you were dealt and consider upbringing, socioeconomic status, race, sexual orientation, and gender norms and how they play into your own experience.

I work in trauma, anxiety, depression, and I’m passionate about helping late discovered adults with ADHD and autism understand themselves better. Some therapeutic styles I employ include CBT, DBT, IFS (internal family systems), and narrative.

Online and in-person sessions available Saturday through Wednesday.

I value the therapeutic relationship and want to ensure that my clients feel comfortable and cared for when working with me. I have experience supporting clients struggling with changes, shifts in identity and roles, experiencing emotional distress and living with symptoms of trauma. Through the use of a collaborative and holistic approach, I engage a trauma informed lens to support my clients moving through their presenting distress, challenges, and concerns to create resilience, self-awareness and growth in a meaningful way.
I practice using a variety of therapeutic approaches. I use emotion focused therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness, attachment lens, non violent communication all while engaging a trauma informed perspective.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor my approach is very pragmatic. I understand that when life is already hard the last thing a man needs is someone making it more complicated. I bring together my Master of Arts (Counselling Psychology) with my Master of Human Kinetics (Coaching Science) and my long-time experience as a high-performance sport coach and educator to create an approach that is solution-focused and positive. We’ll work as a team to create realistic goals, find the right tools for you, do the necessary work to move forward and make improvements in your life.

Ever feel like saying F#CK My Life? I sure do, especially with therapy being one of the toughest things in the world to sell to guys! Not only do you have to ask for help, which is hard enough, but then there’s the ridiculous stigma that getting therapy is admitting weakness instead of strength. On top of that, therapy can be time consuming, results aren’t guaranteed and it isn’t cheap either. So why bother? As renowned psychiatrist Carl Jung once said “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” My counselling style is pragmatic and heartfelt. I have weathered my fair share of storms. Why is this happening to me is an important question to ask. The answer often lies in our own behaviour, habits and shadow. My in-person practice specializes in psychedelic-assisted therapy and men’s issues, including anger, break-ups, depression & anxiety.

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.

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.
