My passion for counselling comes from the life change that understanding has brought me. Many of us find ourselves going through our lives accepting what is our norm, without ever having an understanding as to why. I seek to bring understanding to my clients' lives so that with this knowledge, they can make the desired changes in their lives. Everybody's life is unique and how we come to see and interact with the world is based on our personality, trauma background, culture, upbringing, attachments, and lived experience. My goal is to deeply understand a client's situation to most effectively help create the change that is sought.

An increasing number of people are experiencing a profound existential and spiritual crisis that is resulting in a process of spiritual awakening. This is part of natural rebalancing act within our personal and collective layers of consciousness, bringing us closer to harmony within and without. As beautiful as this process is, it can be very disorienting as our mind and body, nervous system, psyche and soul release outdated intergenerational traumas and patterns, unlock innate wisdom, and integrate clearer ways of experiencing our interconnectedness to one another and the natural world around us.

Any one of us can face hard times or crises in our personal, work, or social lives. Stressors such as traumatic events, significant life changes, stacking of duties, huge responsibilities, negative peers, disapproving family, etc. can create pressure that feels like it is taking over our lives. We can feel overwhelmed, hopeless, lonely, stuck, scared, angry and more. When we experience this it can feel like our ability to cope is just beyond our grasp. Our job isn't fun anymore, our home life becomes affected, and we feel like things are slipping away. Holding on to this pain can make it last much longer. Let's chat about it.

Are you struggling with a pornography or sexual addiction? As a pornography recovery specialist (and my own 20yr battle), I know how it feels to struggle with this issue and repeatedly try stop on your own, only to fall back into unwanted patterns; how it feels when the urge to watch porn is so strong it seems impossible to resist; and how it feels to try to navigate your partner's emotions if there has been discovery. I also know how hard it can be to seek help from a professional and I commend you for being here right now. Reach out and start creating the life and relationship you desire.

As parents, we are often challenged when our children are exhibiting challenging behaviour. We see them struggling with anxious thoughts, explosive outbursts, negative self-talk, separation anxiety, verbal or physical aggression, or having difficulty with peer interactions. Sometimes there are traumatic experiences, and our children can't put their experiences into words, but we see the impact on their ability to cope and thrive. As a registered clinical counsellor, I aim to help children and families figure out new ways of being, discover how they want to be different, and new ways to view their experiences.

In my work with clients, it is not uncommon for them to present to therapy with multiple mental health and emotionally dysregulating issues. Clients' goals may range from managing depressive symptoms to getting their anxiety under control or learning how to self-advocate to overcome unfair practices to learning how to get to know themselves to live life more purposefully. Some clients come to do grief related therapy as they negotiate a significant loss in their lives. I journey with my client to work through challenges and develop appropriate coping skills and stress management techniques to minimise stressors in their lives.

“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart” writes Fyodor Dostoyevsky. This quote, though inspiring, leaves much unexplained. How do we transform our experiences of pain and suffering (i.e. anxiety, grief, depression, relationship discord) into the beauty of a deeper heart? Marcel Proust provides a clue, “We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the full”. Thus, the transformation of suffering comes through full experience. In a society that tends to bury suffering, a guide specializing in unearthing its hidden potential is key.

If life feels overwhelming or perhaps feels like you are in emotional pain and are having trouble coping, I meet clients where they are at in their struggles and help them to unpack their emotions and offer strategies for increased resilliancy. I practice from a strength and client-centred approach. I have worked with children and youth for over 8 years and apply this knowledge in my clinical work with children youth and families. Being a father myself, I can relate to some of the hardships that families endure and stand beside my clients to offer support and validation.

A registered counsellor since 1994, I have worked with a wide array of clients. I have done much work with marriages and relationships and have developed a system that generally makes a significant difference within 6 sessions. For six years, I worked as an elementary school counsellor, working with over 450 children for a wide variety of needs. For 20 years, I worked extensively with Level 3 foster children, mostly teens. I also served as a prison chaplain so am familiar with criminal justice issues and addictions. Because of the diversity of my experience, I can generally relate to most clients.

I am interested in helping individuals and couples to set and achieve goals that can assist them to make changes in their lives. Change can be a difficult process, but also one that can be very rewarding and fulfilling. Whether you are suffering from depression, relationship problems, grief, anxiety, trauma, stress, or emotional/behavioural issues, talking about your difficulties in an atmosphere of safety and encouragement can help. I want to encourage meaning and purpose in your life while being sensitive to your religious or cultural orientation.

I enjoy working with adults who want to make a change in their life. The change might be to lessen stress or anxiety, build self awareness or develop new tools in relationships. Therapy offers a rare opportunity to have life changing conversations and being a part of that is very exciting.

Trying to cope with the pressures and stresses of life leaves us anxious, depressed, and disconnected from ourselves and others. Many of us fall into self-sabotaging behaviours or repeat unhealthy relationships. Many of us face the limitations of psychiatric treatment and are forced to carry the weight and stigma of diagnosis. Many of us struggle simply to maintain our creativity and our sense of self against overwhelming pressures to conform or perform. We all need the chance to check in and process our feelings and reactions, to work through the struggles of our personal history, and find new and creative ways to move forward.

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
