About me

How I can Help

Do you ever feel stuck? Wanting to do more, but feeling drained, or constantly glued to your screen? Maybe you’re struggling with stress, anger, or addictive behaviours. It can be hard to find a way forward, especially when it feels like no one really gets what you’re going through.
I work with young men to build confidence, develop practical coping tools, and create a stronger sense of direction and purpose. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, strengthen your relationships, and find healthier ways to handle the challenges life throws at you.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Change is possible. If you’re ready to move toward greater freedom, motivation, and confidence, I’d be honoured to walk with you on that journey.

My Approach

icon
  • My approach is structured and goal focused so you won't get lost or confused. I'll connect everything we do in session to your goals so you can see the value gained from each session and celebrate every win along the way.

icon
  • I use a hybrid approach of counselling and coaching. Coaching involves building on your strengths and helping you find the solutions to your problems through questions that help you target the underlying problems keeping you stuck.

icon
  • I won't shy away from telling you the truth, but in a way that challenges you and doesn't shame you. I believe healthy confrontation is essential for growth in relationships and maturity. I welcome you to tell me if anything isn't working for you so we can adjust course.

icon
  • I come alongside you as a fellow human who is on the same path. Rather than an expert who gives you top down advise think of me more as a sponsor or mentor. I'll share my own experiences when I believe that will be helpful to you.

Testimonials

Stories from my Clients

I love helping my clients change their lives for the better.

"David’s coaching and pointers were based on tried-and-true science and experience – they helped me personally to stop and listen to my teenager when I was just trying to parent them as when they were younger, which was causing conflict.
Over the next few months, I was able to better understand and communicate with my son, which improved our relationship and minimized the bad feelings.”

J.W. (Father of 14 year old)

“Working with David has been transformational. His ability to truly listen and understand my unique situation allowed him to craft a personalized and tangible plan to tackle my challenges head-on.
David’s unwavering support and constructive feedback helped me overcome setbacks and keep pushing towards my goals. His coaching empowered me to break free from self-limiting beliefs and reinvigorate my life with renewed purpose."

M.D.

"I came to David feeling like I had completely lost my son and didn’t know how to move forward. David helped me focus on rebuilding our relationship with concrete, weekly steps.
At first it was slow and frustrating, but within a few months I noticed real changes—in my son’s behaviour and in my own ability to connect and empathize. Things became less chaotic, and hope returned to our home. I would highly recommend David as a counsellour. He gave us insight and helped us begin the process of family healing."

M.K. (Mother of a 19 year old)

"I saw David for a year or two when I was living in Vancouver, and I could not recommend him enough. He was a great therapist and coach, assisting me with not just my mental health issues, but also with complex situations I had in my relationships, work-life balance, and overall life direction.

Prior to working with David, my mental health was fairly low. He taught me several strategies for coping, and helped me achieve my goals. I'm a very goal oriented person, which he recognized and worked with, helping me take tangible steps towards progress.

Overall, I highly recommend David. He's very professional and compassionate, and a very skilled therapist."

S.B.
