I offer in-person and distance psychotherapy with the Evans Family Counselling and Psychotherapy.
People deserve to feel heard and valued, especially when facing the storms of life, so I work to create a presence that honours this. I work from a person-centred, trauma-informed, existential framework, seeking to honour each persons own unique experiences related to their particular intersectionalities. Working also from a spiritually-integrated perspective allows me to explore with clients the impact of spiritual wellness, with interspiritual and intercultural sensitivity. If you are experiencing distress related to meaning, identity, and/or spirituality, you will find a non-judgmental presence in which to safely explore.

I work in person in my Hamilton office and across Canada on video or phone.

Whatever has brought you here, you deserve a space to explore your experiences without judgment. I strive to bring my authentic self to the therapy room, meeting you with warmth, compassion, acceptance, and the occasional moment of humour. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, overthinking, and a harsh inner critic. Many of my clients feel stuck in people-pleasing, perfectionism, or relationship patterns that are no longer serving them. I also support individuals navigating grief and loss, medical diagnoses, breakups, postpartum and new parenthood adjustments, as well as other significant life transitions.

After a decade of being a Social Worker, I have witnessed the challenges that men face; fear, pain, confusion, and anger. These difficulties interfere with mens full potential of becoming powerful, disciplined, and masterful in their passions. The difficulties that men face are unfortunately ignored, and the answer to resolve them is to be more vulnerable. This leaves little direction to work towards the ability to overcome what stands in your way.
