As a therapist, I am relational, experiential, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused. Because much of our suffering occurs as the result of being left unbearably alone in the face of overwhelming emotional experiences, our work together will be done in the context of a safe relationship, one that is characterized by secure attachment, where you are never alone with overwhelming emotional experiences. I use an integrative approach that draws on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), body-based therapies, attachment theory, inner child work, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness.

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.

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.

My practice specializes in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic illness or cancer, ADHD, grief, and major life transitions, including the shift into adulthood and evolving family dynamics. I recognize that our identities and personal narratives are shaped by lived experiences—challenges, traumas, and milestones that influence our resilience and self-perception. By exploring these influences, we can foster personal growth and meaningful transformation.

I work with men experiencing difficult problems. Such problems go by many names, and may be new or old, but all share the common trait of stubbornly obstructing our happiness. Yet despite the hardship they cause, our problems also carry essential insight about what is needed for their resolution. I work with you to reveal these insights, to gather their wisdom, and to transform them into opportunities for greater well-being and engagement with life. You can visit my website to easily book a free, unhurried conversation about the problems you’re experiencing, and the life you’d like to live. We’ll talk about ways to help you move toward that life, using approaches that feel natural, intuitive, and possibly even exciting.

Taking the important first step starts the journey toward applying new ways of approaching personal and relational difficulties.

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.

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.
