Hey, I'm Damian — I'm here to meet you exactly where you're at, without judgment.
Life can be a lot. Especially for teens and young adults growing up in today’s world. Maybe you're feeling anxious all the time, stuck in your own head, or unsure about who you are. Maybe you’re struggling with school, body image, friendships, social media, identity, or just trying to feel good enough. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
I work with teens, young adults, and individuals who are navigating anxiety, self-worth, perfectionism, and the pressure to have it all figured out. A lot of my clients are trying to cope with:
Anxiety and overthinking
Low self-esteem and self-doubt
Body image issues
Burnout and school stress
Gender, sexuality, and identity exploration
Social pressure and online comparison
Trauma and tough past experiences
Perfectionism and people-pleasing
Feeling misunderstood or out of place
I also have a soft spot for working with musicians and creatives. As a musician myself, I understand how perfectionism, performance anxiety, and imposter syndrome can sneak in and mess with your joy. Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to “get it right”—just show up as you are.
My approach to therapy is flexible, supportive, and grounded in trust. I pull from different styles like Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, DBT, and somatic work—depending on what fits best for you. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a clinical checklist. Together, we’ll figure out what you need to feel more connected, confident, and understood.
I’m a registered counsellor with the NSCCT and always growing in my work through professional development—most recently around diversity, neurodivergence, and inclusive care.
When I’m not counselling, I’m usually hanging with my cats or playing music. I studied music in university, and I still play in community bands and teach on the side. Whether I’m jamming, listening, or just nerding out over instruments, music is my happy place.
If you’re feeling a bit lost or overwhelmed, that’s okay. We’ll figure it out together—step by step, with space for detours, laughter, and self-discovery along the way.
Looking forward to connecting,
Damian
Everyone is Welcome
