You might feel like your mind is always running — juggling too many thoughts, losing focus, or getting stuck in the same unhelpful habits. In that case, you've likely noticed a pattern of zoning out, avoiding uncomfortable topics or feelings, and overreacting. Things like food, substances, or online interactions take the edge off but end up contributing to issues more than helping. I have a long history of helping individuals, couples and parents, especially men with ADHD, anxiety, anger, depression, and addiction. Together, we’ll build a plan to improve focus and communication, and develop tools for calmer, more intentional living.
I have 17+ years of experience in the MCFD (BC Government) as a probation officer then mental health clinician, including five years part-time at a residential drug and alcohol recovery program. Through these experiences, my approach became increasingly practical, evidence-based, and collaborative.
Before being a therapist, I'm a father, husband, brother, and son — roles that keep me humble and remind me how hard it can be to grow while staying connected to the people who matter most. If you’re ready to work toward change — for yourself, your relationship, or your family — I’d be honored to work alongside you.

I worked alongside Wes through MCFD and saw first how much care and compassion he gave to his clients as they navigated complex challenges. I would recommend him to anyone, regardless of age, looking for holistic support for their mental health.
