Between 2016 and 2022, I worked with Options Community Services (Surrey) in roles such as Mental Health Worker, Youth Counsellor, and Family Counsellor. I was also contracted as a Child Protection Social Worker by the Government of Nunavut in 2016. These roles gave me a wide perspective and solid foundation to support people from all walks of life.
❤️ Why I Do This Work
I grew up in a dysfunctional family where love felt confusing and unstable. After going through a painful divorce in 2008, I realized I needed answers — not just for myself, but for how to build healthy relationships in the future.
That journey led me to study psychology, discover somatic practices, and eventually become a counsellor. Along the way, I was also searching for love and in the process developed a compatibility system. It eventually became the basis for my book “Conscious search for love. An exploration of compatibility in a romantic relationship“. It takes into account emotional, existential, sexual and personality compatibility.
Today, I’m happily married to Kate — my best friend and the mother of our two incredible kids. And I bring every lesson I’ve learned into the therapy room, with empathy and real-life understanding.
