MCP, BA
Registered Clinical Counsellor

Background
I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor who believes in understanding what makes people tick, not just what makes them sick. I focus on understanding what drives each client, not just what challenges them. This is especially important in the context of men’s mental health. I strive to create a respectful, supportive space where clients feel seen and empowered. I have worked as a community support worker, crisis line operator, addictions counsellor, trauma therapist, and for a variety of agencies, but I now work solely in private practice as it allows me to meet my clients where they are at. When I am not in the therapist chair, I am a father of two, a woodworker, and a car enthusiast.
Your therapeutic experience with me
In my care, clients can expect a warm, respectful, and collaborative space where authenticity is valued and your story matters. Rooted in Adlerian therapy and CBT, my style blends gentle guidance with practical tools for meaningful change. I work alongside you to explore what drives you. Whether you are navigating addiction, stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, relationship, or other challenges challenges, you will be met with curiosity, compassion, and a genuine desire to understand. Together, we create a space where you feel truly seen.

Therapeutic approaches
These are my primary therapeutic approaches, backed by specialized training and extensive clinical experience.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress. By increasing self-awareness and developing practical strategies, CBT empowers individuals to manage anxiety, depression, and stress more effectively, fostering lasting change and improved well-being.

Adlerian Therapy
Adlerian therapy focuses on understanding the unique motivations, values, and goals that guide a person's life. It emphasizes belonging, self-worth, and the impact of early experiences on current patterns. Through encouragement, insight, and a collaborative relationship, clients can gain clarity, build resilience, and move toward a more purposeful and connected life.

DBT
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) helps clients manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies. It blends acceptance and change, teaching skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers structure and support for those seeking balance, stability, and greater control in their daily lives.
