The Crow and Compass Counselling and Coaching
When charting a course through the dark stages of life, a guide like a compass, or just a witness for your struggle, can make all the difference.
I offer secure and safe online therapy to individuals and couples in British Columbia, providing that compass, being that witness, and walking beside them every step of their healing journey.

Who I work with
I help people from many walks of life and have addressed a variety of problems, from trauma to addiction to sexuality, and many issues in between. I’m fascinated by the human experience in general, which partly drew me to counselling. I primarily help clients with PTSD and complex trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. Please click the text in the boxes below to learn more about my work within these specialties.
As I said, my clinical experience is diverse, so if you’re unsure whether we are a good fit to work together, please don’t hesitate to reach out or book a free 20-minute inquiry call. During the call, we can discuss your needs and goals in detail and explore how my skills and experience can help.
Areas of Focus
(Click the body of text in each box to learn more!)
Hi there. My name is Michael.
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia, a trauma survivor, and a neurodivergent person living with a physical disability. My curiosity about life experiences, enjoyment in meeting new people, and passion for deep and meaningful conversations led me to my career in counselling.
When I’m not working or honing my craft, I enjoy various creative pursuits that help me foster a life filled with meaning. You might find me hiking and taking photos (such as the ones here, unless otherwise indicated!), writing, playing the trombone, training in martial arts, or enjoying a peaceful moment on a park bench that caught my eye for its sentimental inscription.
