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.

You might feel like you’ve been carrying more than you can fully name or explain. I work with clients navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress related to finances and relationships. I provide a space where your experiences are acknowledged within the context of your journey, with empathy and respect. Together, we’ll navigate what feels overwhelming and work toward clarity, emotional safety, and meaningful transformation.

I work with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression, building self-esteem, looking to heal past trauma, facing challenges in relationships, or just needing a space to talk. Together we will discuss goals and what changes you want to see in your life. Therapy is a place to talk freely without judgment, to be heard and validated, and to feel less alone. It can also be a space to gain tools to help understand your emotions and feel more supported in times of stress. Therapy can also be a space to work through deep wounds and to process the impacts of past painful experiences.

If we all could have the option to be supported and heard with our struggles, to be connected and cared for, perhaps our ability to move through them and towards our goals would be different. What is it you wish to shift, where would your life be right now? How can I help you get there? If you are a victim of crime you may be eligible for counselling through CVAP. I am an approved CVAP counsellor.

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.

Finding a balance between our own needs and the expectations of others can be a difficult task. Factors like trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues can make it even more challenging to stay true to ourselves. If you're experiencing doubts, low self-esteem, shame, or simply looking to understand yourself better and live more authentically, I'm here for you. Together, we can work towards finding a renewed sense of understanding, connection, and direction in your life.

I typically work with three types of clients: LGBTQ+ folks navigating identity shifts and relationship dynamics; neurodivergent women diagnosed later in life (or awaiting diagnosis) who are adjusting to the changes that follow; and people questioning if alcohol or other substances are holding them back in life. Many clients find that more than one of these areas fits, and that overlap is very common! I use an anti-oppressive, sex-positive, and feminist approach in my work, to help you figure out what doesn’t feel right anymore and create space in your life for what does.

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.

Life can be really challenging. I believe that everyone has a unique story and I consider it a gift to be able to work with clients to pursue healing, wellness and fullness as they navigate through life’s challenges. For the past 12 years I have been helping people work through trauma and both the past and present impact this can have on us. I have personally dealt with anxiety for over 20 years so I understand the challenges that can come with overall mental health. Through the years I have accumulated many tools and techniques to help overcome the stressors of everyday life.

Relationships can be complex and navigating them can feel daunting, to say the least. When a relationship has been in a state of disconnection for a period of time, it can feel impossible to even know where to begin. It could be that you seem to have the same argument over and over again, your sex life has fizzled out, infidelity, general life changes that have impacted your ability to connect. Or maybe you just feel bored and unsatisfied. I work with people of all genders who are interested in improving their relationships and/or sex life, no matter where they are at. Single, coupled and everywhere in between.

Being a human comes with all kinds of challenges; whether you've struggled with your relationship to food and your body, substance use, or disconnection from your day to day. Feeling overwhelmed, down on yourself, and isolated, can impact every aspect of our lives from our relationships, to our work, and to our physical health. Sometimes our struggles get bigger than us and feel too daunting to tackle on our own. Reaching for help can allow you to feel empowered and at ease within your life.

Throughout our lifespan we all face different challenges. Using our resourcefulness and creativity we meet those challenges to the best of our ability. However, sometimes a problem becomes too big or heavy for us to carry. We may find that we have used up all our resources, support and familiar methods and we feel stuck.
