Hello! My name is Kristan and I am glad you have taken the time to begin your journey to put yourself back into the driver's seat. As a Mental Health practitioner I am here to help and guide you on your path to restorative wellness. It is my belief that with a collaborative approach and healthy therapeutic relationship, we can foster and build skills to add to your positive toolbox of coping techniques that work for you. In my VIRTUAL only practice, I offer a non-judgemental and safe place to work through your experiences and help you navigate your way through life.

Everyone needs additional support at times. Life can become tangled with mixed emotions and underlying thoughts or beliefs. There may be unexpected obstacles, challenges and changes in your life causing you to feel stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, or you may not identify with how you are feeling, but you have noticed that your mood and behaviours have changed. You may not be aware of the physical and/or social impact this may be having on your life. Together we can identify your inner strengths and develop additional strategies and tools to not only help you cope, but to support you and help you grow.

I work with children, youth, and adults who may have symptoms associated with learning disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, depression, and autism spectrum disorder.

How are ya? I know that things are rough for a lot of us right now.

Jim believes that therapy should be targeted and effective, and that with the right tools, many challenges can be resolved sooner than we think. He understands that therapy is not meant to be a life-long engagement, but rather a collaborative process that creates a foundation for an authentic life. Jim is trained in Brainspotting, counselling hypnotherapy, and in working with complex trauma. He has been working in mental health since 2013. Currently, he specializes in working with men on issues related to chronic pain and physical injury, post-traumatic and workplace stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I am currently accepting new clients for in person and telehealth sessions. I work from a person-centered lens, focusing on building a strong therapeutic alliance and offering an empathetic ear; pointing out where you may not be living congruently between who you are and who you want to be, gently encouraging change or self acceptance. While I utilize a person-centered approach, I am grounded in practices that are well researched in improving mental health symptoms, this includes cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and dialectical behavioural skills.

Do you feel like you don't fit in and are watching the world from the outside looking in? Desire guidance on how start with identity exploration (be it gender related, sexual orientation, or prompted by age, aha moments and more)? Wanting to evaluate or re-evaluate your relationship structure or orientation? Do you want someone who comes at these issues with a relaxed and curious mindset, working with you to find the obstacles and helping you find your self-awareness and goals? If so we may be a good fit. My passion is working with clients to help them navigate the questions above and more, often touching on multiple themes.
