About
I work with men in their 30s to 60s who are burnt out, going through a divorce, or stuck wondering what happened to the life they thought they'd have. Most didn't choose therapy easily, a partner suggested it, or they ran out of ways to white-knuckle through it. I use ACT and IFS, and I keep the jargon out of the room.
Biography
I'm a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor based in Linley Valley, Nanaimo, seeing clients in person locally and online across BC. My style sits at a 6 or 7 on the directness scale. I'm calm and curious, but I won't just nod along, I'll tell you what I'm actually noticing. Most of the men I work with are doing fine on paper. Good job, steady enough marriage, kids who are alright. And something underneath still isn't sitting right, the burnout that doesn't lift on a vacation, the same fight with a partner on repeat, the sense of going through the motions of a life they built on purpose. I don't think that means something's broken in you. Usually it means something real is asking to be looked at. Sessions are covered by many extended benefit plans, and I offer a free 15-minute consult if you want to see whether this is a fit before committing to anything.
