I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the B.C. Association of Clinical Counsellors and hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.  

 

General Mental Health Focuses

In general, I work with youth, teens and adults struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, disordered eating, self-esteem, OCD, ADHD and life transitions. I work with a trauma informed framework - understanding the intricacies of navigating trauma work and healing. Specifically, I have ample experience working with individuals that have been impacted by trauma in the mountains and mountain sports. 

​

Sports Psychology & Mental Performance

I also specialize in working with athletes. Weather you're a professional athlete or just an avid enthusiast for movement, I can help guide you through the mental health issues related to sport and an active lifestyle. Some examples of these issues are recovering from injury and accidents, building confidence, creating a balanced lifestyle and working on motivation and goal setting. Additionally, I help individuals with strategies to work with fear and overcome mental blocks in sport. 

 

Men's Mental Health Issues 

The growing amount of men seeking out counselling has encouraged me to pursue additional education on men's mental health issues. Some of these include depression, substance abuse, anger, dating and relationship difficulties, self-esteem, sexual performance anxiety, porn-addiction, and finding purpose and meaning through discovering personal values.​

​

Theoretical approaches

My counselling approach is eclectic, combining a variety of theoretical modalities to fit the client's needs. ​​These modalities include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Somatic approaches. I work with a trauma-informed framework incorporating body-based/nervous-system education and interventions to help individuals who have been impacted by trauma. ​

​

In addition to counselling, I also work as a wellness coach with folks outside of British Columbia, helping guide individuals to establish meaningful goals and healthy habits in an effort to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.
