Adults and parents also face unique challenges.
Welcome! I specialize in supporting tweens, teens, and young adults of all genders. I am happy to work with adults too. To me, counseling begins with safety, empathy, and trust. Sometimes people need a non-judgmental ear, sometimes they need more specific approaches like EMDR, DBT, CBT, or coping skills. Either way, therapy is collaborative and customized to meet your unique needs, hopes, and goals. Challenges I specialize in include ADHD, FASD, trauma, anxiety, depression, child and teen-related issues, school and academic issues, communication, and the general complications that life can throw at us! I look forward to meeting.

Hi, I'm Scott! I have spent the past 18 years in Vancouver as a therapist working with children, youth, families and adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I have volunteered working with young offenders in the prison system, and with suicidal individuals through the services of the Vancouver Crisis Centre. Connectedness plays an important role in both my personal and professional life. At times, finding similar thoughts and opinions has helped me feel human. Other times, seeking different ideas and people has helped open my mind to new possibilities.

Although I see clients facing a wide variety of challenges, I specialize in working with adults, couples, and teens in a few areas: OCD, anxiety, life transitions, finding meaning, depression, and relationship issues.
Change. Do you have the feeling that something has to change… but you’re just not sure what it is? Or you have a good idea what and where you want to be… but just don’t know what changes to make to get there? Are you struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety? Or are obsessions and compulsions ruling your life? Are your relationships – intimate, family, work – suffering? And are you ready to take that first step… towards change?

As a practitioner, I recognize that everyone’s situation is unique. I believe healing and growth comes from awareness, which can be achieved collaboratively in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I chose a career in counselling because I love listening to people's life stories, brainstorming new perspectives and exploring paths to healing. I work with children, adults, and seniors, and have experience counselling First Nations individuals. My counselling approach addresses a variety of circumstances, with a particular emphasis on alleviating anxiety and depression.
