I've spent the past thirty years in community mental health providing psychotherapy services to children, youth, and families experiencing a wide range of concerns. What remains clear and heartening is that people hold ideas about how they want life to be, hopes for things to be different, and dreams of what might yet become possible, even in the face of long-standing distress. They possess strengths that may not yet be named, but which have helped them persevere.
My responsibility is to host the kind of conversation where your own wisdom, skills for living, and hopes for the future can come to the foreground and become increasingly useful.
My theoretical and practice influences are Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My specialty is Single Session Therapy—getting the most from the moment at hand, one conversation at a time.
Alongside my work, being a father of twins is one of my favourite experiences ever. I have wide interests from playing my ukulele, to gardening, watching the Raptors and Tempo, going to local car races, to enjoying nature and watching the hummingbirds all summer.
I hope you’ll consider meeting with me and together we can enter into exploration and discovery of what might be possible.
