Background
As a software executive, I led teams of up to 140 engineers around the globe. I understand the relentless pressure of high-performance environments, complex team dynamics, and rapid change.But it was my lived experience as a father and husband with anxiety, depression, BPD, and ADHD that truly changed my path. It led me to study the neuroscience of how our brains work, and the evidence-based skills we can use to build resilience and lead more fulfilling lives.In addition to my work as a counsellor, I serve as President of the Ottawa Network for Borderline Personality Disorder (ON-BPD) and sit on the Family Advisory Council at The Royal hospital in Ottawa.Whether you are dealing with career stress, a traumatic past, or mental health issues in yourself or your family, you don't have to do it alone. Together, we will build the strategies you need to find clarity, purpose, and freedom.
Approach
I offer a thoughtful, evidence-based approach that combines warmth, empathy, and genuine curiosity. Drawing on neuroscience and proven evidence-based therapies, I help clients create real and lasting change. I use:Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify valuesDialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) to manage big emotionsEmotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to reduce the outsized impact of past experiencesCognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to confront anxious thoughtsWhether you are dealing with career stress or relationship struggles, or navigating BPD, ADHD, anxiety, or men's mental health issues, we will work together to understand how your brain works and help you discover solutions. Together we will build the skills and understanding you need to find clarity and freedom of thought.
