Hi! A little bit about me: My name is Dave and I am married to my wife, Katelyn, and we have two wonderful kids.  I love to laugh and am trying to incorporate this more into daily life.  My wife is a holistic nutritionist who specializes in working with women who struggle with fatigue caused by Multiple Sclerosis.  Having a chronic illness myself, we have learned the importance of dealing with this from multiple perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have recently completed all requirements for my Master of Counseling and am now working on my internship.  In counseling, I wish to create and function from a nonjudgmental stance that is influenced by empathy and compassion.  I am influenced by my gentle curiosity and have found this to be useful in supporting clients. I consider it an honour and privilege to journey with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my approach, I seek to be client-centered and hold the belief that the problem is the problem, not the client.  I aim to be collaborative in my practice and note that the client is the expert in their own life.  I try to use an approach that is influenced by: Solutions-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hold a current student membership through Canadian Counsellors and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and am practicing counseling at Creative Concepts & Counselling, under supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send an email or give us a call to access my services at a reduced rate.  My areas of interest would include addressing adversity, stress, relationship issues, assertiveness, healing from addictions, parenting, and other personal or family issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My supervisors are: Eric Bailey and Marlene Smart (Catholic Family Services – 306-922-3202)<\/p>\n\n\n
