We can work together to overcome challenging emotions, patterns, behaviours, thoughts and feelings that you may be experiencing, to create meaningful change for you. My practice is informed by a wealth of experience over ten years of supportive work through addictions centers, verbal and non-verbal care work, marginalized individuals, international family support, and elementary school aged children and their families dealing with intergenerational trauma. I also offer support to families of children with disabilities, and aim to run a group in the near future. Let's have a conversation and find out the best way to help you.
Narrative therapy has an in-depth approach that personally fits me. With respectful, genuine, ethical, curious, exploration that creates new meanings and possibilities. Narrative says that nobody exists with issues alone in a vacuum; that our society influences us and can create problems. "The person is not the problem, rather the problem is the problem."
Together we can learn how to discover these outcomes, and with a non judgmental, respectful, and open minded approach we can explore the issues and gain new and fresh insight. The people who I see in therapy tend to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their situation, their connection to people around them, and how they can move forward.

When I first met Ward, during university, he stood out as someone others trusted and readily confided in. A decade+ later that impression holds up; Ward is a trusted friend and colleague, one combining warmth, wit, and wisdom. He is easy to recommend.
