About Us
I still remember my first therapy appointment—ARRRGGGHHH! My heart was pounding, my mind was racing, and I was terrified.
I didn’t have all the answers. I had some ideas about what was wrong, but really, I just knew that the gap between how I felt inside and the life I was living was impossibly wide.
She was right. There were good things. There ARE good things.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but walking into that first appointment took courage—real bravery. And if you’re here, reading this, looking for help, YOU ARE BRAVE, too. You are here because something in your life is no longer working, and you’re ready to face it.
Whether you’re seeking individual counseling, couples work, or a mix of both, there will be good things in this process—things we’ll discover together.
Everything that brings you here is welcome—the parts you know now and the parts we’ll uncover. You will be met with acceptance. You will not be judged for what shames you—whether it’s lies, betrayals, anxiety, depression, addiction (to sex, porn, substances, or anything else).
I will be grounded and strong in the face of what terrifies you. I will be fearless in defense of your true self.
We won’t rely on cookie-cutter solutions or one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, we’ll work with the real challenges in your life and start peeling away the layers of what’s no longer working for you.
Together, we’ll focus on your goals for healing and create a space for your best self to emerge.
As we move through this process, you’ll begin to experience a deep sense of relaxation and ease. That clarity will guide you to the decisions and actions that are right for you.
What feels impossible right now? That will become difficult. Then what’s difficult will become a habit. And eventually, that habit will become easy—and the easy will be BEAUTIFUL.
So here we are. You’re ready.
Take a moment: Notice 5 different colors around you… Listen for 5 sounds… Notice your breath.
Feel this presence that is you—and call me now for your free 15-minute consultation: (705) 795-0240.
I promise, as I was promised: “There will be good things, too.”
About Me
I am many things—all of them curious.
I’m a being, a seeker, a father, a partner-in-waiting, a lover of people, and a guide for those who feel “buried alive” under the weight of their past.
Helping people discover their true selves—creating space for that self to grow and flourish—is the coolest thing in the world to me.
Oh, and I’m also a licensed psychotherapist in the Province of Ontario. I offer Trauma-Informed Coaching to anyone, anywhere on the planet.
I have a few degrees, including a Master of Divinity, and I’m an ordained non-denominational minister. My training is focused on addictions, trauma healing, and couples therapy.
But more than the credentials, it’s the people who have shaped me—teachers, mentors, guides, and therapists. They’ve shaped my soul and informed my work as a therapist.
I’m forever grateful to them, from the 10th-grade teacher who pulled me aside after class—not to scold me, as I feared—but to tell me about the qualities she saw in me, a future I couldn’t yet see for myself…
… to the spiritual guide who taught me that many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness…
… and the first therapist who showed me that I didn’t have to go it alone.
They all inspired me to give others what they gave me: hope, support, and a space to heal.
