ABOUT ME
© 2021 All Rights Reserved. Anchored Counselling. Created by Boleyn Media.
Born and raised on Quadra Island, I am honoured to be working in the Campbell River community. I have been back in Campbell River for eight years now where I have been working as a teacher and school counsellor. I have also had the privilege of being a mental health counsellor at the John Howard Society, where I worked alongside Campbell River’s youth and their families. As an educator and a counsellor, I have witnessed the importance of meaningful connections and understanding that each individual has their story. I am continually blown away at the resilience of the people I work with and their ability to embrace the challenges they face to live a meaningful life. My greatest joy is my family. I am a proud father of two boys and am married to my loving wife. I am beyond grateful for the support of my immediate and extended family. Healthy family dynamics are vital in developing meaningful relationships throughout life, and I continue to try and learn how to grow as a family.
