About me

 When we meet, you’ll discover a few things about me: I'm down-to-earth and relatable. I'm not afraid to work hard with you. I'm warm, kind and calming.  I’m only a moment away from a good laugh and finding humour in the darkness of life.

So, why work with me?

I specialize in two main areas.  First, I work extensively with individuals, couples and families using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).  This is an evidence-based model and first-line treatment for addressing relationship and attachment related issues.  When you feel discouraged and disoriented in your relationships it often comes as a deep relief to know that your therapist has a road map and a plan for your healing. 

Second, I love to work with pastors, clergy and church leaders. I’ve noticed a profound need for treatment and support for church leaders.  People involved in church ministry are often isolated from their communities as a result of their position, and I’ve developed insights into the unique struggles they face and enjoy working through those issues.  You can prevent burnout, and re-learn to like the people you serve.

Like you, I’m more than my career, and I have many interests that keep me busy outside of therapy.  I’m a husband and dad to four kiddos.  I produce maple syrup.  I love to run.  I love to read, play the piano, and—believe it or not—I’m a small engine mechanic by trade.
