You deserve to live with grounded confidence and the freedom to be your authentic self. If you're feeling challenged by stress, identity, relationships, or the pressure of external expectations, I am here to help. As a queer Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), I use evidence-based interventions to help you discover your unique sense of self and build a personal mental health 'tool kit' to help you navigate life's challenges.

You’ve accomplished so much, yet something still feels off, you’re tired of overthinking, overgiving, or feeling disconnected from your true self. You may identify as a people-pleaser, empath, high achiever, or someone who carries everyone else’s emotions. You long for clarity, calm, and confidence. You want to feel emotionally free, connected in your relationships, and finally at peace in your body. Deep down, you sense there’s more to life than surviving and you’re ready to heal, to trust yourself again, and to feel like you.

Lasting change doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from changing the conditions that keep old patterns alive. Many people arrive here after sincerely trying to live well: building insight, practicing mindfulness, following good advice, and doing what should help, and yet, the same cycles return. You’re not looking for quick fixes. You’re seeking calm that settles in the body, clarity that feels authentic, and change that reaches beyond the mind.

My clients want relief from emotional pain and guidance on their journey toward self-improvement. They may have tried self-help strategies, or perhaps even other therapists, but they’re still looking for something deeper and more effective. They want to work with someone who has life experience that truly understands them, someone who can see past surface-level issues and help uncover the deeper, root causes of their struggles. They are motivated by a desire to live authentically, experience healthier relationships, and break free from negative cycles that have held them back in the past.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Counselling Supervisor. My practice is guided by extensive experience working with people coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds as well as many years of serving the most vulnerable communities in Vancouver’s DTES. While my approach is integrative of modern theories and techniques, it heavily relies on Psychodynamic theories and practice. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a highly individualized treatment whose goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptom. It relies on the fact that our personalities are uniquely shaped by several developmental stages.

Compassionate, Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy:
Do you feel like you’ve spent your life "masking" just to fit into a world that wasn't built for you?
Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling exhausted by self-criticism, burnout, and the heavy weight of "trying harder" without ever feeling like they’ve met the expectations of others (or themselves).
Whether you are navigating a late-in-life diagnosis or struggling with relationships, I provide a safe, inclusive space where we don't try to "fix" your neurodivergence. Instead, we work to understand your unique internal world with curiosity and kindness.

At some point, something shifted. Maybe a relationship you counted on started fracturing. Maybe the faith community or career that once defined you no longer fits. Maybe you're figuring out who you are or who you're allowed to be for the first time.
That kind of disorientation is exhausting. And it often comes with a particular loneliness, because the people around you don't always understand what you're going through.

Hi, I'm Scott! I have spent the past 20 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.

It is exhausting trying to move forward when "unfinished business" from the past keeps pulling you back. Whether you are struggling to maintain connections, dealing with anxiety, or just feeling stuck, you deserve a space where you don't have to pretend everything is okay. You are likely seeking more than just a listener, you want to understand why you feel this way and how to change it.

You’re already taking steps to bring change and wellness into your life. I hope to make the next part as easy and comfortable as possible for you. It’s not easy sharing the vulnerable parts of yourself to someone you’ve just met. I assure you everything is welcome. Clients have shared with me about painful grief, habits they’re stuck with and feel embarrassed about, sexuality, a relationship they’re not sure about, the domineering co-worker or parent, feeling lost in life, or thoughts about not wanting to be alive. Sometimes it can be hard just to find someone that’ll will listen to us, without jumping to advice or interrupting.
