I provide therapy for adults and youth struggling with depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, and feeling directionless and purposeless in life. Having previously worked as a journalist, janitor, construction worker and kids’ camp counsellor, I know what it’s like to take time finding your way in life. I also understand the stigma around receiving mental health services and strive to provide confidential counselling. I tend to use evidenced-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I also employs a client-centred approach to therapy, prioritizing efficient and effective therapy.

Our biggest moments of crisis, when supported with care, consciousness, and insight, are in fact our greatest sources of personal growth and transformation. I help individuals to strengthen the resources they have within themselves, learn to navigate challenging and uncomfortable emotions and life experiences, and build resiliency to navigate through tough times. As you begin to more consciously navigate life’s ebbs and flows, I support you in moving towards a more comfortable, content and meaningful life.

I offer virtual & in-person sessions in Vancouver, BC. Let’s start with a free phone consultation! You can contact me by email: [email protected] or check out my website for the online booking link.

Pragmatic and Solution Oriented. First, I clear up any vague or unclear treatment goals or confusions. Before assuming that there is a problem based on faulty thinking, I review the basic life situation to make sure that basic human needs are being met. I take into account any impulses and direction that come from the deeper, more authentic Self (psycho-spiritual issues). When indicated, I will work with dreams, metaphor, and imagination. On a good day, I help people make the necessary changes to their inner and outer worlds, so their goals are met.

To best understand and identify the complex patterns involved in our thoughts and behaviours, simply limiting ourselves to labels of perceived symptoms (i.e. diagnoses) misses out on the true human experience. Through a high degree of curiosity, intrigue, and empathy we are able to subvert our own expectations and identify what may otherwise be lying just under the surface. Perhaps the hidden and uncomfortable truths that continue to cause distress.

This is the strength of a curious approach. Not only do we uncover and address the underlying concerns for the benefit and growth of the client (you), but the counsellor is naturally invested by the intrigue and collaborative discoveries being made, by virtue of their own burgeoning curiosity.

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.

When clients work with me there is a guarantee that change will occur. This change does not have to be drastic or grand. It can come from a new or revised perspective, different level of awareness, change in reaction time or with a slight adjustment to feelings and thoughts behind the challenge. I focus on balancing the right model, the correct therapy and the appropriate strategies for each client. Because every client is different, the therapy and services provided should be as unique as the person(s) sitting across from me. I adhere to one philosophy with every client: if your comfort level is high, then you will do great work in therapy. This means the counselling process is driven by the client and based on their needs.

Counselling helps us unearth our internal compass, also called our inner intelligence, intuition, or higher self, so that we can relearn how to trust ourselves again. This is important work. Together, I will help you develop your capacity to respond to life’s circumstances and manage the discomfort that you are experiencing. Our pain, anxiety, sadness, love, and joy all have important information for us. They can reveal what is required of us to heal, grow, and even thrive.

My counselling services are collaborative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed while rooted in a holistic approach (body/mind/spirit). I draw from various theoretical lenses, including Existential, Adlerian, Internal Family Systems, Jungian, DBT, and CBT.

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.

I specialize in working with men of all ages – particularly men with symptoms of ADHD, anxiety and depression – along with parents and couples.

I am a son, brother, husband, father, and counsellor. Before counselling, I worked mainly with young men as a probation officer over 12 years, and with adults at a residential drug and alcohol recovery program for five. I learned to listen first, and to build on clients’ existing strengths and motivation to help them change longstanding habits using evidence-based strategies. If you are ready to try a different approach and put in the hard work, then send me a message and we can talk about a plan.
