I have an insatiable hunger for reading and learning. I am a musician and have had the pleasure of touring across Canada. For several years, I served as a worship pastor where I led small groups and worked with individuals, couples, and families. In my (little) free time, I love to discuss books, music, science, philosophy, psychology, theology, and pretty well anything.
I am blessed to journey with my three wonderful children and my wonderful wife. I love playing with the kids and going for walks as a family.
I earned my honours undergrad in philosophy from UWaterloo, my masters in theological studies from Grebel, and my masters in counselling and psychotherapy from Yorkville. I regularly update and improve my knowledge of psychotherapy and develops my skills in various therapeutic approaches including (but not limited to) CBT, DBT, Mindfulness-Based, Faith-based, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, IFS, Solution-focused, EMDR, and Somatic, all based on client needs and goals.
I love to listen to people tell their stories and to journey alongside them. I have a collaborative and respect-focused approach that focuses on the strengths and dignity of each person. Utilizing non-judgemental support and practical skills, I assist individuals in reaching their goals. I recognize the power of habits and behaviour and help clients build healthy ones while replacing unhealthy habits. I am passionate about walking with and supporting people through suffering and pain.
