Therapists in V3J
I approach my practice from a decolonized, relational, and anti-oppressive framework, grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own story. Everyone’s journey is different, and so is the support that helps along the way. I’m passionate about supporting people in finding their inner voice and moving through life’s most challenging moments with care and compassion.

Through both my work as a therapist and my own life, I've often found myself in awe the innate human capacity to heal. The more I do this work, the more in awe I am at how so much of healing begins with no longer being alone in hard things. In my therapeutic work I've witnessed the incredible resilience and transformation that can emerge when a safe space is held for one's story and experience. I continue to stand in awe of that resilience.

Emotional pain is inevitable in life. Feelings of stress, inadequacy, disappointment, anxiety, anger, and grief are universal and part of the shared human experience. Every individual experience these feelings through different situations and all of us interpret these experiences through varied perspectives because of our culture, personal history and personality differences. To move on, sometimes we learn to mask our difficult emotions by suffering in silence or behaving as though everything is okay. However, when we avoid facing our pain, they may fester within us and result in more shame and turmoil that affects our daily lives.

You’re exhausted from holding it all together. On the surface, you’re functioning, but inside, you’re overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of who you really are. You overthink every decision, worry if people are upset with you, and feel like you’ve lost touch with who you really are.
If you’re tired of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and feeling like you're never enough, you're not alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck. I help thoughtful, self-aware individuals who are ready to stop living for others and start showing up for themselves.

You don’t need to have everything sorted out to start therapy. If you’re carrying the weight of illness, anxiety, burnout, or uncertainty, my hope is to offer you a place where you can slow down, make sense of things, and find new ways forward that feel true to you.

Most of us desire to live our lives with a sense of confidence, purpose, and closeness with others, but difficult life experiences can lead us to build walls for protection and safety, and as a result, we can lose our sense of connection with ourselves and others. If you are here, you may be feeling some combination of lost, alone, stuck, anxious, afraid, unsure, frustrated or angry, overwhelmed, grief, worried, low, sad and/or depressed. We can work together to help you bring a greater sense of control, satisfaction, and ease into your life.

Life is complex, and emotional pain is unavoidable. As your therapist, I am here to support you in navigating these complexities. While occasional feelings of sadness or anxiety, and occasional conflicts, are normal, overwhelming or persistent emotional pain may signal deeper issues. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger management issues, ongoing relationship problems, and persistent loneliness can indicate that we might need to do more inner work to heal. Psychotherapy helps us uncover the underlying causes of our problems, offering insights into why we experience difficulties and providing guidance on resolving them effectively.

Hi, I'm Scott! I have spent the past 20 years in Vancouver as a therapist working with children, youth, families and adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I have volunteered working with young offenders in the prison system, and with suicidal individuals through the services of the Vancouver Crisis Centre. Connectedness plays an important role in both my personal and professional life. At times, finding similar thoughts and opinions has helped me feel human. Other times, seeking different ideas and people has helped open my mind to new possibilities.

It is an honour and privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate times when they may feel pain, confusion, or stuckness. I bring the values of acceptance, a safe space, and a collaborative process to the sacred counselling space, helping clients understand their distress while strengthening their sense of self and fostering healthier relationships. I also value celebrating my clients' triumphs as they work towards becoming the person they aspire to be.
