My Background and Experience

My passion for helping others stems from my own experiences growing up in poverty with an alcoholic father and a mother struggling with mental health issues. These challenges inspired me to pursue a career in social work. Since graduating with my Bachelor of Social Work in 1995, I have dedicated my life to helping others heal and thrive.

Currently, I am also a student in the Natural Nutrition Diploma program at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition. This program has deepened my understanding of how nutrition impacts both physical and mental health, further enhancing my holistic approach to therapy.

My Approach

I believe that therapy is a journey of self-growth, forgiveness, understanding, and acceptance. My approach is holistic, considering the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected aspects of your well-being. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have faced various forms of trauma, family origin issues, depression, anxiety, and addictions. Additionally, I work with couples to help them build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

As a father of five and part of a blended family, I bring personal experience and understanding of family dynamics, parenting challenges, and the joys and complexities of raising children in a blended household.

Having lived and worked across Canada, I have had the privilege of working with diverse cultural and ethnic groups, including extensive experience with Indigenous peoples. As a proud Métis individual, I bring a deep understanding and respect for cultural diversity to my practice.
