We all need support:  

Navigating difficulties in your relationships, struck with angst, or burdened by the changes that grief brings can open up emotional complexity, often making our paths ahead feel uncertain. In order to shift ourselves forward, it’s valuable to have someone committed to your journey to help you explore your life with care, support, and unbiased curiosity. Finding the right support, however, can be a challenging task.

I work with adults and largely adult men and male-identified folks who are struggling with anxieties, identity, self-esteem, boundaries, and relationships.

I’m specialized in Complex PTSD and have been working in supporting people for 20 years through various organizations and in my counselling practice.

I enjoy connecting with diverse peoples of all shapes and backgrounds and have adept experience with straight, LGBTQ2S+, and Indigenous folks.

I offer free consultations for you to get a sense if I might be the right person to help you and for you to ask any questions you might have to assist with your decision.

My Approach:

• I believe counselling is relationally-based. Research shows that safe therapeutic connections are necessary for healing and a Trauma-Informed approach is essential in creating that emotional security. We all have different factors contributing to our lives, different families and relationships, personal influences, and unique coping styles which can impact our ability to change in the ways we would like;

• I meet with each person with a compassionate, eclectic, and strengths-based curiosity, working to find paths that work for you;

• I am specialized in C-PTSD and focus on clients through Sensorimotor Psychotherapy approaches that incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Somatic strategies.

Territorial Acknowledgement:

As a white settler, I recognize that I have unequally benefitted from systems designed to oppress Indigenous Peoples. I am committed to doing the work necessary to de-colonize, to work to repair harm, and to find ways to extend that work beyond myself.

I am originally from Cree/Assiniboine/Salteaux Territories of Treaty 4 on the Plains of Saskatchewan, now residing in the beautiful lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ territories, colonially knows as Victoria, on Vancouver Island.

If you feel like we might be a good fit, please reach out to me below to set up your first session or to arrange a consultation. You’re welcomed to include any additional questions or curiosities you might have.
