About Christian

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions? Does your mind race? Have you found success in your career or in the family but find life unsatisfying. Are you overly perfectionistic or overly critical of yourself and others? I have a good idea why and I have the experience and the training to help you to get at the root of the issue so your life can become easier (even when life is not always easy).

Hi. I am Christian. I have a Masters of Arts from the University of British Columbia. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Registered Art Therapist. I have also worked as a Clinical Coordinator supervising other counsellors before entering into private practice full-time.

To assist in your personal growth, I am trained in a wide variety of therapeutic approaches including: AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy); EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing); Mindfulness and Art Therapy. I am also well versed in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). I have extensive experience working with all populations including adults, parents and youth.

Using one or a combinations of therapies, I can help you to get back to a place of greater connectedness to yourself and others. My goal is to help you become more self-reliant and to live your life more authentically.
