About Michael

*OPEN FOR REFERRALS* Are you struggling with negative thoughts, stress/anxiety, and low moods? Are you struggling with assertive communication and conflict management in your social life? Are you feeling the impacts of past relationship trauma or grief? Enough is enough! My person-centered approach focuses on creating a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment, and providing evidence-based coping skills in order to improve resilience, happiness, confidence, and the ability to face these challenges. Most importantly, it provides relief to emotional stress, and a resolution to challenges.

Utilizing EMDR, emotion focused therapy, and AEDP | will help you to build psychological safety, return a sense of control, and practical skills in order to help address the challenging circumstances that inevitably come into our lives. I am here to be an authentic listener who will support, validate, and challenge you to be the person you would like to be. I am also a pro-queer, pro-trans, and pro-poc counsellor working to disrupt power inside and outside the therapeutic setting to be accountable and ethical to the diverse communities I serve. With my past employment history, I am also sensitive to and equipped to support the issues of blue collar workers, employees in the medical system, and social service workers.

I currently offer mainly video based counselling via Zoom, with some in-person spots. Due to financial constraints that clients face, sliding scale rates are available as well. I accept clients from CVAP, VAC, FNHA (First Nations Health Authority), and ICBC. A free 15-minute consultation can help you determine if I am a good fit for you. I have both day and evening appointments.
