You're reading this because something is heavy, stuck, or quietly wrong. Maybe you've been pushing through for months. Maybe years. Maybe you've already tried talking yourself out of it.
 
Before counselling, I worked in places where plain talk and real problems were the whole job. I served in the Canadian Armed Forces infantry. I ran a plumbing business. I spent eight years in pastoral ministry, six of them leading The Mustard Seed Street Church in Victoria.
 
All three taught me to listen without flinching and to say what I actually mean. That's how I work now. Sessions are conversations, not performances. We name what's happening in language that fits your life, and find a way through that you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon.
 
Veterans, tradespeople, leaders, and clients from faith communities often land here. The language and the culture are already familiar to me. The practice is open to any adult who needs it.


HOW I CAN HELP

I work with adults navigating:

• Anxiety
• Depression and mood
• Trauma and PTSD
• Grief and loss
• Stress and burnout
• Intrusive thoughts and rumination
• Family-of-origin patterns
• Faith, meaning, and existential questions
• Relationship struggles (individual work)


WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO GAIN

• The capacity to feel hard things without being run by them
• A clearer sense of what actually matters to you, and how to live closer to it
• Practical tools for anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and chronic stress
• A way to make sense of inherited family patterns
• Space to integrate faith and clinical work, if that fits your story


MY APPROACH

My primary clinical approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The short version: ACT is an evolution of CBT, sometimes called "Third Wave CBT." It helps you build the capacity to feel difficult thoughts and emotions while taking action toward what matters to you. ACT has strong research support for anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress.

I draw on several other approaches as the work calls for them:

• Mindfulness-based work: noticing what's happening internally without immediately reacting
• Narrative therapy: examining the stories you've been handed about who you are, and which ones still serve you
• Solution-focused brief therapy: useful when there's a specific stuck point and we need to find what's already working
• Family systems: making sense of patterns that started long before you did
• Pastoral counselling: available to clients who want their faith integrated rather than left at the door


ON FAITH AND MEANING

If faith, doubt, or questions of meaning are part of your story, you can bring those in. I take spiritual life seriously without pushing you in any direction. I don't specialize in leaving faith, and I don't preach to clients exploring it.

WHAT THE FIRST SESSION LOOKS LIKE

The first session is about understanding what brought you here and whether we're a good fit. No commitments beyond that. You leave with a clearer picture of how I work and whether it matches what you need.
