Life’s road often presents many sharp twists and turns; ups and downs. Let me help you learn to navigate and manage those and guide you to a place of contentment.

With over 25 years in private practice and several prior years in the not-for-profit sector, I have learned personally and believe there is nothing greater than being content and living authentically, something I am committed to helping others develop and achieve.

I draw on my many years of experience from clients, whom I consider to be my greatest teachers; as well as several perspectives, tools, and approaches from many different therapy modalities. Building rapport within the client — counsellor relationship I believe is crucial to the success of a clients counselling goals being realized. A metaphor I often use; “finding the right counsellor is like buying a new pair of running shoes, you can spend $200.00 on a great pair of running shoes but if the fit isn’t right you’ll still get shin-splints”. My job is to make sure you don’t get shin-splints. Something frequently commented on by clients is the strong rapport built by myself. With a down to earth and relaxed approach, clients feel at ease very quickly, often reducing the inhibitions of being in counselling.

Grande Prairie has been home for many years, and the city in which I raised my two children. Currently, being Grandpa to three amazing grandson’s, is one my greatest pleasures. I believe strongly in being part of community as your community is what makes home. I have been very involved in many community organizations and am currently the vice-chair of the EMS foundation, having been on the board for 9 years. The best recharge for me is in nature and nothing fills me like spending time with friends and family at the lake.

I also have an extremely laidback Golden-doodle named Murphy who loves to meet new clients.
