Life is an adventure on a path that is long and winding.For over 35 years I have been; parent, teacher, counsellor, spiritual leader, healer and therapist and most recently survivor /surviving cancer (prostate) My work with you will be a creative experience of support, therapy, healing and personal development. "You will go out of your mind and come back to your senses." You will discover within yourself a broader range of choices for living your life fully ... just the way you want. How do we do this... together we work with what is showing up in the Here and Now.
Emotions; managed or expressed? Breaking down how you communicate will help you clearly express what you are wanting/needing to say. Working with feeling offers more fulfilling choices of expression. GLBTQ2SAA, coming out, transitioning, confused? As a queer man I understand the journey. All relationships, open or closed need renewal.
As a Buddhist and ordained progressive Christian minister I bring a solid and spiritual presence and practice to our work. Relational Gestalt psychotherapy is an amazing way to experience awakening from the nightmares of your life that you keep holding onto. Through dialogue, body awareness and creative experimentation. Let's find laughter and joy together.
