Life is full of upsides — Find your JOY, all your life
Welcome to Upside Stories — a progressive online psychology practice
At Upside Stories — we help you navigate life’s twists and thrive as you move through midlife and beyond — connecting you with experienced psychologists and tailored online therapy as life deepens. Whether you're navigating mental health concerns, experiencing life transitions, growing through change, or supporting someone you care about, we’re here for you.
Upsides in Life
Life’s twists and turns — from unexpected change to adversity and traumatic adjustments — can bring surprising upsides.
Instead of being roadblocks, these experiences can be turning points — for new meaning, purpose, and direction at any age.
Welcome, I’m Bruce.
So, what fills me with awe? Seeing people live fully — rediscovering joy and purpose, true to themselves, finding opportunities for new meaning and belonging after life’s turning points — all their life.
My passion for pro-age inclusion and psychological growth is backed by 15 years of clinical practice, applied research, and university teaching.
I’m here to help you navigate life’s plot twists and turns — the roles, transitions, challenges, and opportunities — that shape your story towards midlife and beyond.
More than ever, we know it’s not just about adding years to life, but adding life to those years. That’s why my jam is mental and emotional health as we age.
Whether you’re facing change, looking ahead, or helping someone else, I’m an experienced clinical psychologist here for you.
Our mission is to inspire and empower you to REWRITE limiting stories and nurture mind, brain, and body — to not just live longer, but to live better, with meaning, purpose, health, and belonging — especially as we age.
