I have worked successfully with a lot of men in my practice. I understand how hard it can be for men to seek help. At the same time I know from experience that there’s tremendous benefit involved for those men who take that first step. My counselling approach is about compassion and non-judgement. Whatever is happening for you will be accepted and faced together. From a stance of respect and an underlying core belief that you have the wisdom within you to overcome your challenges, I will support you in recognizing and engaging powerful resources both within you and around you. Counselling theories and methodologies I use include Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

My name is Kristen, I work from a trauma informed & intersectional feminist lens, recognizing the influence gender, sexuality and socio-economic status and culture can have on our experiences. I am passionate to work with men as I believe that feminism is for everybody, and men are also harmed by the harms of patriarchy, toxic masculinity and gender norms/expectations. I am an lgbtq2s+ and poly-friendly/ethical-non monogamy counsellor and am very enthusiastic about challenging heteronormative culture.

In addition to the framework I have shared, I also hold additional training in:
– EMDR
– Internal Family Systems (IFS)
– Psychedelic Integration & Embodied Inquiry
– Gottman (relationship therapy)

Feel free to reach out via email for a consultation.

Our sessions will be a space for the deeper conversations that bring lasting change. Whether in-person at my Abbotsford office or online, you will have a supportive space to slow down, unpack what’s going on, and take steps toward a life that feels like your own.

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.

Counselling doesn’t have to be clinical or intimidating — it’s simply a place where you don’t have to carry everything alone. Many men come to therapy not because something is “wrong” with them, but because they’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift. I help men make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface — the stress, shutdown, frustration, or emotional numbness that so often goes unnamed.

I also work with couples, particularly around the pressures men experience in relationships when they are expected to be strong, steady, communicative, emotionally available — even when no one taught them how. My approach is grounded, steady, and emotionally safe for clients who don’t usually open up easily.

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

Accepting NEW Clients – Are you looking for support in navigating anxious thoughts or feelings, or what feels like a dark cloud following you around? Are you tired of feeling like you’re not enough? Is a new life change causing stress or needing exploring? Do you feel burdened by obsessive thinking, or difficulties with food and body image? Are there relationships in your life that you’d like to explore, or better understand how you feel when around others? Are you simply hoping to build self-awareness or coping strategies?

It’s normal if reaching out feels scary. I’ve worked with individuals in public, athletics, and private health settings, and i’m looking forward to connecting with you.

It takes courage, reflection, and a few calming breaths to reach out for support when difficult life circumstances present themselves. Taking the important first step starts the journey toward applying new ways of approaching personal and relational difficulties. We will walk together in a collaborative relationship, test new skills that we learn along the way, and explore the possibilities!

If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or just tired of carrying it all on your own, you’re not alone. The truth is, mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum – the ways we learn to cope, express, or shut down are shaped by how we were raised, what was expected of us, and the messages we’ve absorbed about what it means to “be a man.”

In our work together, we slow things down and get curious about what’s really happening underneath the surface – not to overanalyze, but to help you make sense of your experience in a way that feels grounding and real. My style is collaborative, straightforward, and human. I meet you where you’re at, and together we work toward a steadier, more connected way of being in your life.
