Society tells us what will make us happy, and who we are. You have in you to avoid these traps, my role is not to lead you but instead , to walk with you as you throw off the ropes holding you back from dreaming, exploring and discovering your identity and passions. At the end of our journey together, I want you to be in a better place than when we met. I was an English kid in Montreal, who, in a hockey town, spent all his time training and competing in the martial arts. Its not a surprise I was socially awkward, bullied, with self-esteem and anger issues. Luckily, I found a therapist to help me;
his skill and kindness inspired me to pursue a career helping youth, , adults and families. Having been a therapist, a client a proud single-parent, a teenager and a confused adult has given me a unique understanding that allows me to help adults, teens and families overcome the behavioural and emotional effect of life's ups and downs.
25plus years working in mental health, has given me a wealth of knowledge and skill to share with you. But it is your need, not my resume that will determine what help I can give to you. But, you can’t determine if we’re a good fit from a few paragraphs, let’s set up a short free consult to see if we're a good fit. I look forward to connecting with you soon.
