I have worked with clients who are struggling with a variety of issues. I have experience in helping clients with anxiety, depression, addictions, communication challenges, stress, trauma and low self-esteem. I have a strong background in working with individuals who are dealing with performance anxiety, overcoming workplace challenges, peak performance goals. As a ranked athlete, I am also well versed in sports psychology. I can also provide psychometric assessment

I can provide therapy and psychometric assessment in English and French. I am very comfortable working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds. I have worked with many visible minorities, immigrants and first generation Canadians. I enjoy working with clients from the LGBTQ+ community.

Because I have worked in so many different communities and cultures, I have a deep understanding of what it is to feel different. Sometimes that feeling comes from visible differences, sometimes it is just the sense inside of not being 'good enough' or not 'fitting in'. Whether its school, the workplace, or with your family, I have the experience to help.

I don't often get to feel as confident as I do in referring clients to a therapist as I do with Evan. He is bright, capable, and very compassionate. He has a great quirky style that resonates with teenagers.

Ellery Wu

Psychologist, MSc, , MSSC

Evan's work with trauma clients has impressed me. I have seen him reduce PTSD symptoms along with the associated anxiety and depression. The partner of one of my client saw Even. My client says the change for their partner and their relationship was great

Kris Ames

Psychologist, M Ed, R Psyc

Having another sports psychologist and all round good clinician avalible to refer clients to is such a positive. Evan's infectious smile, determination to assist all his clients, and deep empathy is a great combination.
