I support people to better understand who they are and what they need in life to feel whole. Our therapy together can help you explore and understand the past, live in the present, and build for a meaningful future.

My counselling approach is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a modality about helping you stop fighting with your thoughts and feelings to focus on what really matters to you. I have experience with relationship struggles, grief, ADHD, trauma, and addiction.

I’m a Family Systems Therapist who has been in practice since 1988. I work with men from a family of origin or a family systems approach. This means, in part, that I think of men and their emotional functioning within a systems framework. I think about how their sense of themselves, and their emotional function has been shaped by the relational dynamic of their friends and family, past and present. This then contributes to emotional health symptoms like depression.

I work with men who are carrying more than they show, and who are tired of holding everything in just to get through the day. If you’re feeling burnt out, disconnected, overwhelmed by stress, or having trouble showing up in your relationships the way you want to, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep doing this silently.

My approach is straightforward, supportive, and focused on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface so you can get back to feeling like yourself again — not a different man, just a less overloaded one. In our work together, we slow things down enough for you to breathe, think clearly, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been in survival mode for too long.

I am part of the Kelowna 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.

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

Seeking counseling can be a challenging process and it’s important to work with a therapist that is the right fit for you. I thrive in working with individuals feeling overwhelmed, wanting relief, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. I primarily focus on mood, trauma and stress-related disorders such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity, self-esteem, and the effects of childhood abuse or neglect. During sessions, I often draw from CBT, mindfulness, attachment and neuroscience. The decision to look for a counselor often comes at a time of crisis. I understand and accept that it is my job to build your trust and create a space for you to process experiences, challenge barriers, and reclaim your story.

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.
