Hello, I am Nathan. I am a student counsellor.

Throughout my career, and much of my adult life, I have sought avenues to serve others through volunteering, education and in my day-to-day life. I believe each person is valuable and worthy of empathy and support. It is with this conviction that I will seek to support you in the counselling relationship.

I bring with me three years of experience supporting callers and volunteers at the Calgary Distress Centre as well as cross cultural journalism work across four continents and a variety of work experience in several industries.

As your therapist, my desire will be to provide a compassionate presence built on trust, connection and understanding. The therapeutic models I’ll primarily be referencing are Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Person Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Family Systems.

Based on these counselling theories, I believe healing can happen in several different ways. Positive change can happen for a client through being seen, listened to and respected. Hope can be found through developing insight into your journey and looking at your problems from a different angle. Acceptance of yourself or your circumstances can help build resilience and empower you to make changes in your life.

Please feel to reach out to book an appointment.

Hello! I’m so grateful for the privilege to be able to work with you!

I am a Registered Psychologist and I ground my work as a therapist primarily in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, though I also draw from models such as Person Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy as well. I do not take a one-size-fits-all approach with my clients, and I do my best to ensure I am integrating client perspectives into my approach as much as possible. Over all, I work to ensure that I prioritize a strengths-based approach that highlights client agency and personal control over their lives.

I have a significant background in understanding and advocating for men’s issues, having spent much of my research in my master’s degree focused particularly on male victims of domestic abuse. I understand that men have unique ways of healing and expressing themselves, and I have worked hard to tailor my approach to those needs.
