I am registered in BC. Equally importantly I am a husband, father and grandfather of 6.

I’m a mental health Occupational Therapist based in Vancouver who specializes in compassionate exposure therapy for individuals with anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD.

This looks like entering your world together as you face the anxiety of increasing your capacity to manage your home environments, access your community, build relationships, and expand the activities you enjoy.

For me, the therapy office is a place for curiosity and inquiry. My hope is to create a supportive and non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences together. I enjoy demystifying the therapeutic process by sharing how we operate as humans and why certain therapeutic techniques work. It’s my goal that you can bring a little more of the therapy office home with you each day.

Most of us reach points in our lives where we feel stuck or lost. I believe counselling offers a unique and powerful opportunity to turn inward, to gain a clearer understanding of ourselves and our challenges, to gather wisdom for a new path forward.
I work with clients on a range of issues including: processing past trauma, problematic drug/alcohol use, emotion regulation (e.g. BPD) executive functioning related to attention (e.g. ADHD) and procrastination, as well as existential issues of life meaning, vocation and values, and processing transformations in identity.

I love to see people make changes that improve their life.. As a counsellor in the Lower Mainland my practice includes adults, couples, teens, and children (8+). Life can sometimes be frustrating and difficult, therefore if you, or your family, are dealing with relationship, marital or work difficulties, depression, anxiety, career choices, grief, or other frustrations, we can try and find ways to make things better. I believe each person has their own answer, and talking to someone can sometimes clarify how a person feels, and what they would like to do. It's worth the risk.
