Real progress means stepping outside your comfort zone. I provide a safe space to help you take those next steps—thoughtfully and with direction.
​
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, BC, guiding clients through change with a strong, integrative approach tailored to their needs. My expertise includes training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), EFCT (Emotion-Focused Couple Therapy), CBT, DBT, and IFS (Internal Family Systems), along with a range of therapeutic modalities I tailor to each client’s unique needs and goals. My approach is adaptive, informed, and continually evolving, ensuring that therapy is effective, meaningful, and suited to you.
​
Over the years, I have worked closely with adults, couples, families, and youth, helping clients navigate challenges such as suicidal ideation, life transitions, LGBTQ2S+ concerns, depression, and anxiety. My work has included providing structured support within Vancouver’s secondary school system for over a decade, guiding students and families through complex personal and academic challenges.
​
My approach is direct yet supportive, helping all clients build greater self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and confidence in navigating life’s complexities. I have extensive experience working with men, from every walk of life, addressing the unique challenges they face, including emotional resilience, loving relationships, family relationships, career stress, masculinity, and personal growth.
I offer online video and telephone counselling, currently. I will be back with office space again soon.
I offer a complimentary 20 minute consultation. This is a time you can ask me questions find out if the fit is good for you. My standard rate is $160 per hour, with extended EMDR sessions available at $225 per 90 minutes and couples therapy at $225 per hour or $290 per 90 minutes. I have a short waitlist presently, but we can start with a 15 minute call and see where we go.

Me and ...
My Story
I have written a few chapters and changed careers a few times over the course of my life, and years ago, I was an actor. I memorized lines, stepped into different characters, and played to audiences as someone else. But beyond the stage, I sometimes found myself doing the same in everyday life—adapting, performing, and presenting a version of myself that felt safer.
​
Real growth doesn’t come from perfecting a role—it comes from letting go of the script and stepping fully into who you are. Therapy works the same way. It’s not about rehearsing the “right” version of yourself—it’s about getting honest, exploring what’s beneath the surface, and moving forward in a way that’s true to you.
I spent 15 years in the fast-paced world of education, holding multiple roles while keeping counselling at the core of my focus. That experience deepened my understanding of human dynamics, resilience, and personal growth, shaping the way I supported others and ultimately leading me to my work as a clinical counsellor.
Outside my work as a clinical counsellor, I have spent years developing my landscape painting skills, drawn to the way brushstrokes capture emotion, movement, and transformation—concepts that mirror the therapeutic process. Travel and spending time in Halifax, Nova Scotia—my birthplace—always deepens my connection to coastal landscapes and the evolving relationship between place, memory, and identity.
