At some point, we all find ourselves stuck amidst life's challenges. I've been there. I can help you overcome your anxiety; depression; the trauma you experienced; the suffering that comes with grief and loss; with relational conflict; or key life decisions that seem insurmountable. I provide men and women of all ages the safe, respectful space to work through whatever it is you can't seem to navigate on your own. In a relaxed setting, we'll tackle the serious work of therapy together, anticipating breakthroughs that heal and insights that strengthen. Your well-being and your return to emotional strength are my sole focus.
My clients routinely discover new insights about themselves, their circumstances, their past and the way forward. You can count on a therapeutic experience where you feel accepted, valued, understood and safe; where you can feel good about yourself, your life and what your future holds. Clients value my care and concern, my directness and life experience.
I’m a husband of more than 40 years, a father of young adults and a grandfather of six. My career began in journalism and was followed by success in small business, at a leading financial institution and as a self-employed consultant. My faith journey has spanned my life. I love time at the cottage, on downhill skis and exploring the world in which we live.

My starting point for treatment is to understand your life's story and how the challenge you're facing fits into that narrative. From there, I'll determine the most effective treatment to get to the root cause of those issues you want to tackle and resolve. I don't force a particular treatment modality. Instead, I match treatment with the issues raised and the goals to be achieved.
