Resolution! Not just management ! In a safe and confidential environment, I use various techniques to reduce / eliminate the emotional charge on painful topics so you can begin to work on deeper issues that, when resolved (not 'managed') will change your life! You will begin to feel better and function better, without anger, anxiety, depression, fear and the negative effects of stress and trauma! I use psychological techniques, body processes and energy work to clear the issues that limit you. How does it get even better than that?

Are you an adult with a Sensory Processing Sensitivity/Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and/or experiences deep empathy (Empath) for yourself, others, animals, the environment and feels overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed as you try to navigate a world that just doesn't seem to match your inner world, pace, and constitution? Do you feel overwhelmed by the depth of feeling/processing you engage in on top of the demands of work, school, relationships, etc? Maybe you're feeling stuck, confused, frustrated, discouraged, or just plain tired. We often struggle with overwhelm and can feel frustrated that our innate talents go unseen.

I'm a big-picture thinker and analyzer. Raising 6 kids with my wife and years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families has trained me to see the root issue underneath the emotions and symptoms of a problem. I have been told that I bring a calm presence, spiritual awareness, a genuine ability to listen without judgment, and a decent sense of humour. I am also very open and authentic with my clients, so I do my best to be sensitive while also being upfront and honest.

I offer counselling in the Okanagan and Kamloops, and virtually across BC, for youth and adults with ADHD, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-harm, trauma and issues with self-esteem, self-worth and perfectionism. I have special expertise in supporting post-secondary clients with school stress. I have a sense of genuine care for my clients and focus on building and maintaining a strong rapport throughout the counselling process.

Being of service to another human being and finding a way to help is a privilege I am grateful for whenever it is presented to me. My goal as a counsellor is to help my clients find a way to work through the challenges of life in a way that best suits who they are in a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative approach. You already have everything you need to be happy and overcome the obstacles life has put in your way. My job is to help you discover and develop those strengths.

What if you could improve the quality of your life and your relationships by changing the way you think, feel and behave? I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, self esteem, stress, and anger issues, to do just that. I help individuals become aware of the thought patterns that keep them stuck and prevent them from living their life to the fullest. I show people how their thoughts, emotions and behaviours are linked and provide the necessary skills to change negative habits that have become normal over time.

I've been practicing since 1995 & I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor & Marriage & Family Therapist. However, I am now only accepting individual clients 18+. It's clear to me that we can all struggle, even if we are successful in other areas of our lives. Life can be unpredictable & the stress & demands of everyday life, work & relationships can take its toll. As stressors build, you may find yourself struggling with anxiety, mood, eating, body image issues or turning to addictive behaviours. You may also find that unresolved grief or past trauma keeps seeping into your daily life & especially when you least want or expect it.
