As a generalist, my intention is to provide broad service. I am currently employed as a college instructor, so I enjoy working with adolescent and early adult age people who may be dealing with anxiety or depression, or who find themselves stuck in making important life decisions. Also, one of my previous jobs was as a welder for CP Rail. So I am familiar with the very real issues faced in everyday work life. My training also includes family and couples therapy. Because I believe that we do not do well in isolation, helping individuals and families deal with the intricacies of family life is a vital to aspect of my practice.

Do you feel stuck, anxious, or like you are living in "survival" mode? Feel like you are crumbling on the inside, trying to hold it all together with work, your family, and/or in your relationship. Maybe you are desiring a change but cannot seem to make it happen. Or you are experiencing a challenging relationship or struggling to regulate difficult emotions such as worry, anger, or sadness. I help adults and youth overcome stress, anxiety, or disconnection so that they can do more of what they love and deepen their relationships with the people that matter the most.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in Person-Centered Therapy, meaning I strive to create a healing framework based on the needs and concerns unique to the client.
My journey to becoming a counsellor began with a long-standing career in emergency services. With over 20 years of providing front-line support to emergency service personnel and individuals in crisis, I wanted to expand on that in a way that could benefit others long term, which led to this profession. I acknowledge it takes immense courage for clients to be curious about what is troubling them, and I approach each session with gratitude and genuine care. Simply, I believe that people begin to heal when they are heard.

By all appearances, perhaps you have a rather functional life, but on the inside you feel weighed down by past experiences or somehow blocked. You feel the lingering impact of past wounds on your present-day life - perhaps persistent anxiety, intrusive memories, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others. Maybe it feels hard to let people in or to connect emotionally. Maybe emotions actually get so big they've become scary to feel. You're ready to start taking a look inside, with my support and guidance, and are deeply wanting to feel more whole and better able to operate from your best self.

Issues such as depression, anxiety and relationship problems are often the result of a lack of skills and due to old patterns, not pathology. Untreated depression and anxiety can have a huge impact on every area of our lives. I teach clients skills and perspectives that can empower, uplift and connect.

I'm a big-picture thinker and analyzer. Raising 6 kids with my wife and years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families has trained me to see the root issue underneath the emotions and symptoms of a problem. I have been told that I bring a calm presence, spiritual awareness, a genuine ability to listen without judgment, and a decent sense of humour. I am also very open and authentic with my clients, so I do my best to be sensitive while also being upfront and honest.
