Prior to entering the counselling field, I have been a jazz saxophonist, an IT professional, a community volunteer, and a stay-at-home parent. I am also a feminist, a queer-affirming father to three wonderful kids (nearly all of them grown!), and the husband and life partner to my astounding, supportive, and loving wife.
After completing a year-long internship with the gifted psychodynamic clinical psychologist Dr. Ange Cooper and now working under the supervision of EFT couples counselling specialist Sara Lamb and the high-conflict couples counselling specialist Brock Caldwell, I offer IFS-informed, emotion-focused counselling therapy to individuals over 16 years of age and to couples from any background or family structure. In my approach, I use compassion-based psychodynamic talk therapy, mindfulness practices, emotional processing (e.g., EFT) and body-based parts work (e.g., IFS, SE) to help you fully explore the sensations, feelings, core emotions, fears, and beliefs that are related to the challenges in your life. In short, I am here to help you with:
• issues with anxiety, depression, relationships, or trauma;
• disordered eating behaviours, compulsive behaviours, or other mind-body issues; or
• problems with self-compassion, negative self-judgment, or shame.
