Background

My Path to Somatic Therapy

My journey studying psychology began more than 10 years ago when I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of North Carolina. During this time, I began working in mental health as a behavioural therapist for the Autism Society of North Carolina.

After earning my Bachelor’s degree, I deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection by studying massage therapy, yoga and naturopathy. Following several years practising as a massage therapist and yoga instructor, I returned to my original passion and completed a Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Adler University in Vancouver.

As a somatic therapist, I draw on my background in anatomy and physiology and my training in Somatic Experiencing and the Hakomi method. This helps me support clients in exploring the connection between the body, the nervous system and emotional wellbeing.

My approach

Active, Collaborative and Grounded in the Body

Therapy is a process we move through together, at a pace that respects your needs and autonomy.

As a somatic therapist, I am here to provide you with a space to process your feelings and let your nervous system settle and reorganize. Together we will work at your pace to increase awareness of the impact of stress on your body, and how to build capacity and resilience in the nervous system.

As a queer man, I am dedicated to providing 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming care. I also work from a neurodivergent-affirming perspective: stimming is welcome, cameras can be on or off during online sessions, and your communication and sensory needs are respected.

Somatic Experiencing Psychotherapy

We pay attention to sensations, patterns and nervous-system responses, not only the story of what happened.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT can help you relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters.

HeartMath HRV Biofeedback

Biofeedback can offer real-time information about stress and regulation while you practice emotional regulation coping strategies.

CBT and Neurodivergent-Affirming Practices

Practical tools are adapted to you without treating natural differences in thinking, communication or sensory experience as problems to be fixed.

The experience

What Working Together Is Like

Our work begins with a free 15-minute phone or video consultation. It is a chance to talk about what is bringing you to counselling, ask questions and see whether working together feels like a good fit.

We begin with what matters now

You choose where to start. We clarify what you hope will feel different and what kind of support would be most useful.

We notice the whole experience

Alongside conversation, we may slow down and notice what is happening in your body and nervous system. You remain in control of what you share.

We build practical capacity

We work toward greater awareness, regulation and choice so new patterns can become available in everyday life.

Please contact

Blue Ridge Counselling is happy to announce that we are now an approved provider and can provide direct billing services with Pacific Blue Cross, Sunlife, and ICBC!
Many extended health benefit plans (Manulife, Great West Life, Beneva…) will reimburse you for the services of a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) or a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). Camber is certified as both an RCC and CCC. Please check your plan’s details to see if you’re covered by a registered or clinical counsellor.

If your plan covers you for counselling or psychotherapy services, you will pay Camber for the cost of the session in full, and then submit your receipt to your extended health care provider for reimbursement.

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy.
I am committed to providing every client with exceptional care. When a client cancels without giving enough notice, it prevents another client from being seen. Therefore, appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice or “no show” appointments where the client does not show up for their scheduled session will be charged the full cost of the session.

Please note that your completed consent and confidentiality form is required to proceed with your scheduled appointment.

If you are running late, please contact Camber by email or phone located on the contact page. He will do his best to give you the full hour; however, your session will be shortened if there are other clients after you.

Payments can be made through Jane App, a secure and encrypted billing platform. Interac e-transfer payments are also accepted. If a credit card payment is declined, you will be sent an Interac payment request by email or text. Payment is required within 24 hours of the request.
If you have registered through Jane, your credit card will be charged at the time of the appointment.

Interac e-transfers must be made in advance of your session to secure your appointment.

Start with a conversation

Am I the Right Therapist for You?

Finding a therapist who makes you feel comfortable can be challenging. I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so you can ask questions, learn more about my approach and decide whether you would like to make an appointment. There is no pressure to book afterward.
