My strengths and areas of focus include: Identity exploration (sexuality, gender, disability), Neurodiversity ( ADHD/Autism), Depression/Anxiety, Major life transitions (including midlife career change, divorce, etc), Parenting (including infertility, postpartum), and Body Acceptance.
My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a safe space that welcomes you to show up as your unique, authentic self. Incorporating a feminist, person-centred, affirming lens to therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to help them deepen their understanding of and relationship with themselves. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, painting, singing, musical theatre, walking in nature, and spending time with my curious and creative 8-year-old.

Our unique approach weaves together counselling, yoga and coaching techniques to address issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem and ADHD.
When we feel stressed, it makes it more difficult to navigate life's challenges. Do you find yourself feeling more anxious, depressed or overwhelmed? Or doubting your own value? I can help. I can also help with those healthy habits you think you "should" be doing ("should", by the way, is an evil word. Notice how you can't say it without feeling guilt!). In addition, we can work to improve your relationships, habits and coping skills. I also support those with ADHD, even without a diagnosis. Together, we'll build the skills you need to feel stronger, healthier, more confident, calm + in control of your life.

Many children need more than traditional talk therapy, especially young ones or those with ASD or ADHD.
I have both an M.Ed. in Counselling as well as a Master of Social Work, and have been working with children and families for years. Although I occasionally take on adults who are looking for a dynamic, supportive and humour-filled therapy experience, I now work mostly with children. While part of my caseload is always reserved for kids/adults dealing with trauma or complicated grief, my current passion is working with children with social, emotional and behavioural challenges. I also do a great deal of work with kids who are struggling to cope with a parent's/sibling's disability or illness - anything from cancer to PTSD.

My specializations include: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, substance use, men's issues, grief, career guidance, anger management, behavioural issues, sexual addiction, ADHD, chronic pain, divorce, and alcohol use.
Disconnected. Broken. Hopeless. Powerless. Stuck. Many men tell me this is how they feel in our first session. Taking the first step to make change in your life and accept support can sometimes feel the most challenging and overwhelming. As a male therapist, I have learned that working with men requires a focus on practical solutions, a safe and comfortable environment, a therapist who understands the unique personal and societal challenges men face, an emphasis on self-compassion and self-acceptance, and a willingness to address underlying issues.

I also provide intensive diagnostic assessments for adult ADHD as well as general diagnostic assessments to facilitate treatment planning.
I feel that I am best able to help clients that are poised for a healthy shake-up in their life. Whether it be to address an unhealed trauma, a relationship that is no longer functional, a career that no longer feels meaningful or simply feeling tired of being sick and tired, I find it incredibly rewarding to work with clients who are willing to go under the hood, explore why they do (or have done) what they do, to be informed by this and then translate this into the meaningful change that will bring about the life that they deserve to be living - not only for themselves, but for those who care about them.

Accepting new clients! Welcome, I'm Shaun and I work with my clients to understand their inner experience by creating a curious and non-judgmental environment that celebrates identity and addresses personal and collective needs. I may be a good fit if you are queer (or questioning), neurodiverse (or questioning, ADHD, autism, dyslexia), an athlete (or high-performer), or have members of your family who have these identities. I also enjoy working with those who feel othered or describe their life as unconventional or different than what society may expect.

Many people, young and old, as well as those with ADHD and Autism, thrive in the natural world, and so why not take therapy into that space?.
Does it feel like difficult emotions are in control of your life or your household? See the path forward but can’t seem to take the needed steps? Is traditional office therapy a barrier for you or your teen and you want to try another way? Together, we can create a space and a relationship to make change for you and your loved ones. By exploring practical strategies and trying them out together, rather than just talking in the abstract, we can piece together the puzzle to not only better understand what is wrong, but find the tools to make it right.
