Male Therapists in Coquitlam, BC
I am in the business of helping people become themselves. In other words, I think that every person has a unique and beautiful core self that holds the blueprint for a deeply fulfilling and meaningful life. However, life can be painful and sometimes we need to move away from who we are in order to survive. It is my passion and joy to meet people in these places, work towards understanding our defenses, and together move towards whatever lies beneath. I’m honoured that you would consider inviting me to join you in this journey. I consider it a sacred privilege to discover what it means to live fully and freely.

I see clients with the following issues: 1.) Transitioning into retirement, 2.) Depression and anxiety in old age, 3.) Immigration and second-generation psychosocial stress, and 4.) Faith crisis (all faiths). My primary approach is coaching, but as a therapist with 36 years experience, I can transition into providing therapy if needed.

I have helped many people with many backgrounds and stories.
Do you struggle with emotions and relationships that affect how you feel about yourself? Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or frustrated with an issue or an illness? Do you wonder if you will ever be able to feel better? Does the idea of talking about it also feel overwhelming? I offer a safe and welcoming virtual space, where you will be accepted for who you are, and whatever your story is. Using trust, humour, and kindness, we will explore your story together and at your speed. And if you have experienced PTSD, or any kind of trauma, you are not alone.

I believe we all thrive when we have healthy connections. I believe this also to be the foundation of effective therapy. As such, building a healthy relationship is always my first goal when working with a new client. Just as we thrive with healthy connections, in my experience, challenging or confusing times tend to feel lonely and isolated. By providing a non-judgmental ear to listen, I am confident that we can alleviate that isolating feeling together. We can work through your life's stressors, determine the best ways to meet your individual needs, tap into your strengths, and fulfill your potential for joy, peace, and purpose.

I ground my work in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, however I draw on many different modalities, including CPT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, and EFT.
I am humbled to work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related challenges, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, and worry. Regardless of what led you here, many of my clients seek counselling as a result of being fed up with the way things are. Together we will work to uncover why you feel the way you do, develop tangible strategies to work with rather than against your emotions, and spend time expressing them in ways that will work for you long term.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
