A Fresh Approach to Psychotherapy
At BestQuest, your individuality is valued, and will be the basis of your treatment. The advice of friends can be great, but just as no two people are the same, no two paths of growth are the same.
With BestQuest therapy, you'll discover new heights of clarity and self-awareness, propelling you forward on your terms.
Change can be challenging, but it's a whole lot easier when you have a trusted confidant; someone who understands you and has your back. We're here to support you with tailored, professional, confidential care.

We use a humanistic relational approach to understand you, so you won't be labelled based on symptoms or judged by statistics. Let's see who you really are, behind the pathologizing.
*Diagnosis is sometimes required for accessing other forms of healthcare, and some clients also value holding a diagnosis. Know that we'll support your identity, beliefs, and goals.
Integrative & Holistic Approach
Integrative & Holistic Approach
BestQuest integrates the best parts of different efficacious therapeutic approaches. This gives you options, supports your autonomy, and means that therapy can be "client-led" or "therapist-led" as it suits you. We also value holistic treatment, so you'll gain insights that might be out of view with other therapists. Given that around 75% of our psyches are beyond our awareness, we believe this holistic approach is important.
Non-Judgment & Trust
Non-Judgment & Trust
The most important predictor of success in psychotherapy is the connection that's built with your therapist. At BestQuest, it is our #1 priority to ensure that you feel respected, heard, and honoured. We take the trust you place in us seriously, and take every measure to ensure your confidentiality and information security. These priorities and measures give you peace of mind, comfort, and confidence in the connection with your therapist.

I'm a psychotherapist and wellness consultant specializing in relationships, life transitions, and issues relevant to men. I also have an interest in helping marginalized groups, including queer, trans, and non-binary people. In essence, I help people develop a better relationship with themselves, foster deeper harmony and intimacy in their connections with others, and pursue a more fulfilling quality of life. My professional background includes work in addiction treatment facilities and in career counselling and youth work settings, as well as experience as a trainer/mentor.
My academic foundation is rooted in science and psychology. I hold a Bachelor of Science in biomedical science and genetics and spent years working in clinical pathology. I also have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, along with vocational certifications in community services work. I am a licensed RCC in British Columbia. Beyond formal education, I have pursued niche mental health training in the following areas: Nutrition and alternative medicine for mental health; Immigrant and refugee mental health; Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy; The therapeutic use of rhythm; Nightmares and disturbed dreaming; Polyvagal theory.
My approach is personable and personalized, ensuring that clients feel like they're talking to a fellow mortal, while receiving therapy customized for them. I welcome adult clients from all walks of life and focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful progress. I offer a free online initial consultation to help determine suitability. I encourage anyone who’s interested in therapy to get in touch with me or book a free consultation. If I’m not the right therapist for you, I’m happy to recommend others who I know and trust.
