Congratulations! The fact that you are here means you have already started your healing journey, and I would be honoured to join and support you. It has been my great privilege to accompany individuals, couples and families through life’s most challenging and joyous moments while serving as a Priest in the Anglican Church of Canada, a Chaplain in the Canadian Armed Forces and now as a Registered Psychotherapist. My experience as a counsellor, teacher, and coach, combined with your expertise in your own life and the situations you face, both currently and in the past, provides significant resources with which to look at how best to improve your holistic health and well-being in alignment with your goals.

My most significant area of experience is in Couples and Relationship Counselling; however, I am also passionate about individual and family counselling. I am a certified facilitator of the Prepare-Enrich assessment, a widely used tool for marriage preparation and enrichment, which has been part of my work for nearly 30 years. My worldview is that there is something sacred in each of us that draws us to wholeness in mind, body, and spirit, which means many different things to each individual or relationship. As well as Couple Communications and Relationship Dynamics, I have experience in Aging Issues, Anger Management, Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Trauma, Religion and Spirituality, Sexuality, Spiritual Trauma, Stress Reduction and Mindfulness, PTSD, and First Responder and Veteran Issues. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), with which clients have had success in reprocessing trauma. An overview of what that treatment modality looks like can be found here. I have also provided Leadership Coaching and have studied and written about Authentic Leadership.

My hobbies include walking in nature, hockey (I am a die-hard Toronto Maple Leafs fan), reading and wood-carving. I am pleased to be a member of The Order of St. George, a chivalric order dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of Veterans and their families. I am also involved with our local Wasaga Beach Legion Branch #645 of the Ontario Command and was happy to serve on its inaugural Executive Committee.

I offer sessions both in-person and online, whichever is convenient for you. My primary objective is to facilitate the positive change you seek by harnessing your strengths and working with you to reach your therapeutic goals.

To begin your journey, let’s talk with no commitment and no strings. This will give you a chance to get a feel for what you can expect going forward. You can click the link above to book your first complimentary session. I look forward to working with you.
