About me

How I can Help

Do you feel stuck with your emotions, habits, or the choices you’re making right now? Maybe you know something isn’t working, but you don’t really talk about it, or you’re not sure how to put it into words. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I work with young men who want to build confidence, get control over their thoughts and behaviours, and strengthen their relationships with family and faith. In our one-on-one sessions, I’ll help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, develop practical tools you can actually use, and take concrete steps toward the goals that matter to you.

Making your way in the world as a young man today isn’t easy, especially when you’re dealing with pressure, expectations, or habits that keep pulling you off track. My role is to help you get unstuck, take responsibility for your direction, and move toward the kind of life God is calling you to live.

My Approach

icon
  • My approach combines solid psychology with Christian values. If faith is important to you and you want to bring it into our work together, I’m happy to do that. If you’re unsure about Christianity, frustrated with it, or not ready to go there yet, that’s okay too, I won’t force it.

    What matters most is that you feel respected, understood, and supported as you work through what you’re dealing with and move forward in a way that’s honest and meaningful to you.

icon
  • I believe young men grow best when they have the right support around them. Most of our work will be one-on-one, focused on you, our goals, your challenges, and the skills you need to move forward.

    At times, I may also involve your parents through coaching or family sessions. The goal isn’t to gang up on you or take control away from you, but to improve communication, reduce tension, and help your family work together so you’re not carrying everything on your own.

    Strong men don’t grow in isolation, they grow with guidance, accountability, and support.

icon
  • My approach is structured and goal-focused, so you don’t get lost or stuck talking in circles. We’ll be clear about what you’re working toward, and everything we do in our sessions will connect back to your goals.

    You’ll be able to see progress over time, understand why each session matters, and build momentum as you start to experience real wins along the way.

icon
  • I won’t shy away from telling you the truth when it matters, but I’ll do it in a way that challenges you without tearing you down. I believe honest, healthy confrontation is an important part of growth, maturity, and strong relationships.

    I also expect this to be a two-way process. If something isn’t working for you, I want you to say so. We’ll talk it through and adjust course together so the work stays useful and real.

Testimonials

Stories from my Clients

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

"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.
