“Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas.” ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Life often throws things at us that we don’t understand, we’re not prepared for, and more importantly, we don’t know how to deal with. We find ourselves unable to cope and looking for help.

Perhaps you are experiencing difficulties in family relationships — parenting issues, marriage breakdown, or you’re going through a divorce. Maybe it is the loss of a loved one, or workplace burnout, or financial problems. Problems can range from the potentially life threatening — such as severe depression and suicidal thoughts — to helping men manage their anger.

If you are dealing with problems that fall outside the formulas of your life, I may be able to help you develop the understanding and skills to manage and overcome them.

I’m a registered psychologist practicing in Abbotsford and Maple Ridge, British Columbia. My counselling practice is informed by extensive life experience in many of the areas that I counsel. For the most part, I have been there.

My areas of specialization are:

  • Family relationships of all kinds, including marriage breakdown and divorce
  • Adult issues such as depression and men’s anger
  • Children’s and teenagers’ problems related to school and family
  • Emergency service personnel (fire, ambulance, police), corrections officers, military personnel, and their families — coping with the effects of trauma

In addition to my professional expertise, I offer you a relationship based on compassion, insight, and integrity.

So please browse the site, read more about my background and credentials and the services that I offer. The Frequently Asked Questions has everything you need to know about choosing a psychologist and my policies about confidentiality.

And if you’d like to know more, please give me a call at 604.852.4818 (Abbotsford) or 604.463.3026 (Maple Ridge). Or email me.

Keep in mind that I also offer a free 30-minute no obligation introductory consultation. We can meet and see if we’re a good fit for each other, at no cost to you.
