Life is really hard and often painful. We all need support to find our way through this confusing and challenging existence. It truly helps to let our walls down and share what we are going through in safe, caring, and genuine relationships. This is what I am offering. From this place, you can find firm footholds and solid ground inside of yourself, empowering you to confidently move toward the future that you want. At times, the coping mechanisms we develop aren’t as effective, sustainable, or healthy as we need them to be. I want to help you learn how to care for yourself and get the most out of your life and relationships.

I specialize in psychological assessment and treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). If you are experiencing intrusive thoughts about contamination, accidents or violence, sex, identity, religion, ‘just right’ feelings, or other themes, along with excessive checking, reviewing, avoiding, reassurance-seeking, or other behaviours, I'm here to help. I also provide treatment for a range of anxiety concerns, including perfectionism, panic attacks, phobias, and social anxiety. My approach is grounded in CBT, ACT, and compassion-focused therapy.

Welcome to Druid Counseling! In relationship counseling, couples all report a failure of communication on some level. What does emotional accountability sound like? How do we convey a level of concern without giving offence to our partner? What does projection, defensiveness and anger management all have in common and needs to change to become positive growth? How can we move past accusation, defensiveness & accelerated domestic conflict with our partner towards stability, harmony and love? We start at the basics, and re-build, both in session & at home. Believe it or not, but there is hope. Success begins and ends with you.

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.

Have you felt as if life runs on repeat? You are trying and doing your best, but it feels as if nothing is changing or working. Your emotional battery is running low, and things you once found joy in now feel distant. You hear all about the “should,” the “could,” and, of course, the “don’ts.” It all seems to feel daunting, and you’re unsure where to begin. At As You Are Counselling (AYOUA), we understand. AYOUA was created for individuals who do not fit into a certain mold determined by society, culture, or expectation.

Conflicts. Heartache. Angst. Chronic worry. Fear. Prolonged Sadness. Anger. You probably tried to deal with your struggles on your own, but you are not meant to suffer alone. Most of us reach out for help to family and friends. But sometimes you need more. You need someone who knows how to help you through your difficulties. You need someone who will hear, understand and help you find your way out of darkness. You need someone who can help you develop the courage to say no to toxic choices and yes to life-affirming decisions.

You have gone through the standard talk therapy routes and seen some success. The self-limiting beliefs and judgmental narratives have now softened, giving way to greater compassion and understanding. However, you notice that despite your earnest efforts, you continue to play out the same recurring "unhealthy" coping mechanisms that keep you stuck in emotional dysregulation, cycles of shame, self-abandonment, and relationship patterns whether in your romantic partnerships, friendships, or family dynamics that result in you somehow not honouring your boundaries, needs, and authentic expression.

I enjoy connecting with people by providing a safe space for them to share their thoughts and feelings. We will work together to overcome the challenges of the past, and take steps together to shape the future with what works best for you. Sometimes it can be a crisis that makes you seek out counselling, in working together, you will discover that the crisis may have been exactly what was needed to help you make some important changes to improve your life. Taking the first step in asking for help takes tremendous courage, the next step typically includes finding the right counsellor for you.

I'm Kevin, a social worker & clinical counsellor (RSW/RCC), specializing in play therapy for kids and trauma-healing approaches for adults (e.g., EMDR), particularly within the LGBTQ2S+ community. We go beyond talk therapy, using interactive methods (e.g., LEGO) and a relationship-based approach. I bring my personal experience of growing up queer into my practice, creating a space where survivors of systemic issues of all ages—be it racism, homophobia, colonization, or ableism—can find understanding, support, and a path to self-acceptance.

Whether you need support through a significant life event, you're having unkind thoughts about yourself or others and want to work through them, or you are just generally feeling unwell and want to regain balance – therapy allows someone to walk with you on that journey. You may have days where you feel low, nervous, unmotivated, or lost. Those can get in the way of your enjoyment, your relationships, or you just being at your best. I work with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, placing intentional focus on folks who identify within the IBPOC, queer, gay/lesbian, trans, and other underserved communities.
