Stratford, ON N5A
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit, I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to my work. My path to Psychotherapy has been shaped by a rich background in Healthcare and Education, as well as personal journeys through many of life’s transitions. These experiences fuel my passion for walking alongside others with curiosity and empathy as they navigate change, challenge, and growth. Therapy is your space to breathe, reset, and begin showing up as the version of yourself that feels most authentic.

Life feels overwhelming, even if it does not look that way on the outside. You might be used to holding everything together for others, while underneath you feel anxious, exhausted, or stuck. Many people who reach out are navigating are navigating burnout, relationship stress, trauma, or a season of life that no longer fits. While I am not currently accepting new clients, the admin team at Reclaim & Rise Counselling will help connect you with a therapist who may be a good fit based on your needs, preferences, and availability.

I'm wondering about what's happening with you and in exchange I will listen, believe and be curious about the story you have come to share with me. At its core, this is what I can offer to you on your journey in a private, confidential and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. I believe that the human experience is a constantly evolving flow of transitional states that take a variety of forms - significant or managable, expected and unexpected, desired and even feared. As it is with transitions, loss occurs in many forms through our lives and grief is the natural way to adapt to your new reality. I will journey with you.

I believe that everyone can use some help figuring out how to deal with the challenges that we all face. My warmth, compassion, and empathy work together with my training and life experience as a husband, and father to the biological, adopted and foster children that are part of my family. This creates a place of safety for clients to share the parts of their lives that they are struggling with. As a therapist, I aim to walk along with my clients without judgment, helping them to use their strengths to discover new paths forward.

Are you searching for someone you truly connect with—someone safe enough to share your struggles? Maybe you’ve looked for support but find it hard to meet your deeper self fully so change can happen.

Lasting change comes from knowing yourself deeply and addressing what’s beneath the surface.
