SUMMARY:INDIVIDUAL THERAPY FOR MEN
DESCRIPTION:Ever feel completely overwhelmed by the constant pressure? Between working non-stop to get ahead, navigating demanding relationships, marriage, and family life, it can feel impossible to find a moment for yourself.\nWhen the pressure mounts, it inevitably takes a toll on your mental health—showing up as chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, or depression. In a culture where most men choose to isolate and go it alone, trying to keep up by yourself just doesn’t work.\nOne of the most effective ways to maintain resilience in a high-stakes world is to stay connected and check in with a trusted professional who actually gets it. No matter what you are going through, you don’t have to navigate it in isolation. My practice is strictly geared toward men’s unique challenges, including chronic stress, relationship pressures, depression, anxiety, anger management, and reclaiming a sense of purpose and meaning in life.\nProfessional Profile & Approach\nMy therapeutic style is highly pragmatic, grounded, and heartfelt. I am a straight shooter who has weathered my fair share of storms, and I bring real-world perspective combined with top-tier academic training to every session.\nAcademic & Professional Background\n\n\nRegistered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) | BC Association of Clinical Counsellors\n\n\nMaster of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MA) | University of British Columbia (UBC)\n\n\nDoctor of Medicine (MD – Non-Practicing) | McMaster University\n\n\nGraduate Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PATGC) | Vancouver Island University (VIU)\n\n\n\nProfessional Practice Note: While I hold a Medical Degree (MD) from McMaster University, my professional practice is strictly focused on clinical counselling and psychotherapy. I operate exclusively under my scope as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and do not provide medical advice, medical diagnoses, or medical treatments.\n\nIn addition to clinical counselling, I am fully trained in university-accredited protocols for Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. I work with individuals interested in evidence-based preparation, integration, and therapeutic support within this rapidly evolving field.\n\nClinical & Legal Scope Disclaimer: In strict compliance with the BCACC Standards of Clinical Practice and Health Canada regulations, my role as a clinical counsellor is limited exclusively to non-directive psychological preparation and post-experience integration care. I do not recommend, prescribe, provide, or administer controlled psychedelic substances, nor do I facilitate access to unauthorized channels.\n\n
