I apply strategies from somatic therapy, existential therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotion-focused therapy to deepen my work with my clients.
I believe we all have the capacity for positive change and growth when we have access to a safe and supportive environment to share our stories. My work as a counsellor is person-centered, meaning I approach my clients with compassion, curiousity and non-judgment. I am trained to work with clients with a variety of presenting concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship and communication issues, attachment, grief, body image, self-worth, life transitions, and others. In my clinical practice, I specialize in and am passionate about working with youth, couples, and adults of all genders and sexualities.

My approach draws largely on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and body-based mindfulness practice.
Grounded in the values of transparency, humility, empathy and empowerment, my practice acknowledges that mental health injuries and difficulties are normal responses to certain situations and circumstances. Counselling experience in a university wellness centre, and in health authorities in Northern BC and Nova Scotia, has given me a strong background in working with depression, anxiety, panic, people-pleasing, various types of trauma, borderline personality and concerns common to post-secondary students including life transitions, academic demands and pressure to succeed.

I incorporate somatic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and a variety of clinical interventions.
Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs last and focus on others? Do you question if life should feel somehow better? You are not alone here. My approach is client-focused, collaborative and optimistic, I view each person as an individual within a family system and can help with difficulties impacting clients biologically, psychologically, socially and spiritually. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term challenges for your mind and body. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a better life.

Do you feel you are not enough? Do you feel as though you don't belong?

Human beings experience severe life stressors sometimes, and when they do it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. I have a passion for helping people, who are experiencing difficulties, strengthen their relationships with themselves and others, so they can once again live purposeful, joy-filled lives, while still honouring their past.

As a man, therapy might not be your preferred use of time, yet a growing part of you is curious about what could be. Throughout your life, you’ve felt minimized and closed off from your potential.

You are noticing a new excitement and motivation to connect with yourself and others in a healthier way.

I have devoted my counselling journey to work in a variety of professional backgrounds, including non-profit organizations, a women’s sexual health clinic, crisis lines, and a Child and Youth Mental Health clinic. Additionally, I have served as a mediator and a mentor for high-risk youth at the Abbotsford Restorative Justice and Advocacy Association. These experiences have equipped me to offer valuable support to clients confronting a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, navigating the unique complexities of growing up with immigrant parents who have a different cultural mindset, life transitions, and more.

Hurting people hurt people, but they also tend to hurt themselves in the long run. The need for an unbiased and non-judgemental person to talk to can serve to provide a sense of relief from the stress you may be facing in the moment. I believe that is what we may need in our lives, and I am able to serve you in this area. For whatever your needs may be, I will tailor the treatment plan accordingly and strive to find the best approach to meet them.

On the outside, you look like you have it all together but inside you feel a tightness in your chest, a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, a constant nagging in the back of your mind. Anxiety can be like an undertow, pulling down the quality of your interactions, speaking worries and fears about your future, and reminding you of past regrets, keeping you awake at night; it can be overwhelming! Anxiety doesn't need to keep undermining your life.

Often my clients are wanting to explore a personal issue/problem/feeling that won't go away and is starting to affect almost every part of their life. Advice from friends or family isn't helping and nothing else they have tried has worked. They believe there must be a better way to be but somehow they are just stuck. I can help you tackle your issues, get unstuck, and find that better place. Both personally and professionally, I can attest to the power of awareness as a key factor in facilitating a desired change; We can’t find the truth listening to our own voice’s echo. We can find ourselves only in someone’s mirror”(Rumi, n.d)

I have taken AEDP, Attachment and CBT and Mindfulness training.
My deepest privilege is to come alongside you, listen as you share your story, and begin to help understand what happened to you. Past experiences shape some of how you view and process life experiences today. Your past informs your present. I can help you explore those experiences, how they have affected you in the past and now in your current relationships, your emotions and reactions...even how you perceive yourself, your kids, or your partner. Being curious may open the door to understanding, self-compassion, and also bring meaning and healing to your life. You will begin to notice you feel more "you".

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
