Tai has extensive experience supporting teens, adults, couples, veterans, and first responders navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and major life transitions.

Many people come to therapy after realizing the coping mechanisms that once helped them navigate life are no longer serving them. Some feel overwhelmed by anxiety, emotionally exhausted, or frustrated that the same relationship patterns continue to repeat. Others find that although life appears successful on the outside, they feel disconnected from themselves or uncertain about who they have become.

Tai tailors therapy to each client's unique needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches to help them gain greater clarity, better understand themselves, regulate difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and move forward with renewed confidence and purpose.

Mental Health Concerns

Many of the clients Tai works with are navigating experiences that can feel confusing, overwhelming, or difficult to put into words. Some are recovering from trauma or PTSD. Others are struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, or significant life transitions. Many simply feel stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat or disconnected from the person they want to become.

Tai believes therapy is most effective when it feels like a genuine, collaborative partnership where clients feel understood, challenged, and supported while working toward meaningful and lasting change. He brings a calm, thoughtful, and approachable presence to his work, creating a space where people feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences while discovering new ways of moving forward.

Together, therapy becomes an opportunity to better understand the experiences, beliefs, and relationship patterns that have shaped you while developing healthier ways of responding, building stronger relationships, and creating lasting change.

Anxiety

Identify the root cause of your anxiety, develop resilience and learn to cope with your generalized anxiety, social anxiety, performance anxiety, OCD, panic attacks or phobias so you can lead a fulfilling life.

Depression

Identify, understand, and work through the experiences, thoughts, and feelings that are making you feel depressed and learn effective coping strategies to help you overcome them to live a happier life.

Trauma & PTSD

Understand, process, and work through the difficult emotions and memories that are causing you pain after the traumatic experience in a safe and non-judgmental environment to help you recover and heal.

Childhood Trauma

If you have experienced trauma as a child, counselling can help you understand, process and heal from what has happened to you so that you can move on with confidence, strength and resilience.

Self Esteem

Reframe your thoughts and experiences to challenge the unhelpful beliefs that harm your self-image so that you can start to feel good about yourself and live your life with confidence and self-love.

Emotion Regulation

Develop the skills necessary to regulate your emotions by learning how to rethink situations to reduce anger or depression, identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patters, and be mindful to reduce anxiety and stress.

First Responders

Counselling provides a safe outlet for the feeling you have to suppress while in the front lines, help you manage stress, and heal from anxiety and trauma.

Couples Issues

Work together to get through rough patches, improve communication, nurture intimacy, rebuild trust, set boundaries, make parenting decisions, and handle separation or divorce constructively.

Conflict Resolution

Learn how to resolve conflicts in a healthy and productive way without compromising your own values, integrity, boundaries or self-respect so that everyone involved feels heard and respected.

Codependency

Identify and change the patterns of behaviour that make it difficult for you to make decisions, ask for help, set boundaries, be alone, or stop yourself from feeling responsible for other people’s behaviours.

Grief and Loss

Grieve your loss at your pace in a caring and supportive environment as you move through the different stages of grief and begin to take the steps to move on from your loss and heal.

Personality Disorders

Get a better understanding of your personality disorder and learn how to better cope with the feelings and behaviours that come with it, improve relationships, and build a greater self-worth.

Anger

Regain control in your life and learn how to control your anger by improving communication skills, expressing yourself in healthy ways, learning to relax, reframing your thoughts, and practicing gratitude.

Gender and Sexuality

Feel supported in a safe and accepting space for you to explore your sexuality and gender identity, process and heal from discrimination, and gain the strength to come out and be your authentic self.

Counselling Approaches

Tai believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy because every person's experiences, relationships, and goals are different. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, he works collaboratively with clients to understand the deeper patterns influencing how they think, feel, relate to others, and navigate life's challenges.

His work integrates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic psychotherapy, and other therapeutic approaches to create a treatment plan tailored to each client's unique needs. Regardless of the approach used, Tai believes one of the strongest predictors of meaningful change is a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe enough to be honest, curious, and fully themselves.

More About Tai

Growing up between Kenya and Canada shaped how Tai understands identity, belonging, culture, and the experience of navigating multiple worlds. He appreciates that our family relationships, cultural backgrounds, and life experiences all influence how we understand ourselves, seek support, and make sense of difficult experiences.

Outside of clinical practice, Tai is completing doctoral research in clinical psychology while exploring the intersection of trauma, group psychotherapy, and creative expression. He also performs as a comedian and storyteller, believing that humour, curiosity, and honest conversation can create meaningful opportunities for connection, healing, and growth.

Whether in therapy or on stage, Tai believes our stories matter. By better understanding the stories that have shaped us, we create greater freedom to decide what comes next.
