As a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Director of Wellspring Counselling Inc., as well as an Adjunct Professor of Counselling Psychology at the University of British Columbia, my mission is to help you navigate the challenges of life and usher in positive change.
My therapeutic focus is broad, encompassing the management of anxiety and stress, mild to moderate depression, phobias, and significant life decisions. Additionally, I provide assistance in self-discovery, enhancing self-esteem, fostering effective parenting strategies, and improving communication for healthier relationships. Personal growth and self-development are integral elements of my practice.
In our digitally connected world, I provide comprehensive online psychotherapy sessions via a secure video counselling platform, ensuring accessibility and privacy for all my clients.
My therapeutic approach is an integrative one, informed by the latest advancements in neuroscience. I blend elements from various therapy styles including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, EMDR, and Emotion-Focused therapies. In certain cases, I also incorporate Clinical Hypnosis. This eclectic approach allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, optimizing the potential for growth and recovery.
Clients frequently find the following concepts and tools valuable:
- Understanding the functionality of the brain and mind.
- Effective management of stress and anger.
- Deep self-exploration for enhanced self-awareness.
- Building psychological resilience.
- Identification, understanding, and management of emotions.
- Developing effective thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Techniques to shift core beliefs towards healthier perspectives.
On a personal note, I am passionately committed to being a loving father and husband. My dedication to assisting others in achieving a fulfilling, healthy, and happy life extends beyond my professional pursuits. I devote considerable time outside my family life to researching and refining my ability to support others in managing their anxiety, mood, anger, parenting challenges, relationships, and overall well-being.
With each client I work with, I aspire to instill a sense of hope, resilience, and personal empowerment. I am excited about the possibility of joining you on your journey to emotional wellness and personal growth.
