Ben takes an evidence-based, collaborative, creative and individualized approach. He works with a wide range of individuals (youth, young adults, chronic pain/somatic issues, couples/relationships/premarital, ADHD, parent coaching, anxiety, depression, religious trauma, grief, self-esteem, life changes/existential challenges and work/life stress). His experience as a Chiropractor (16 years) informs his work as a therapist and gives him an in-depth and well-rounded perspective on the complex connection between the physical and psychological. He has been married for 20 years and has four children (all boys!). Reach out any time!
I offer a variety of therapies (Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), talk therapy, solution-focused therapy, somatic therapies and more) to match each individual's experience and needs. I am flexible in my approach, and the therapies that I utilize are based on each individual's needs.
Please reach out by email or set-up a free 15 minute consultation if you have any questions or would like the opportunity to see if we are the right fit!

Acknowledging that we are all unique, I use a combination of therapies to best fit the needs of the individual. Combining both the cognitive and creative aspects of therapy allows us to push past barriers (even previous barriers individuals have experienced in counselling) and avoid stalling-out in therapy.
