About

Because God calls us to walk together.

I am an experienced Spiritual Health Practitioner (Chaplain), certified through the Canadian Association of Spiritual Care (CASC), with a strong background in clinical practice. I have worked in hospital settings for the past 7 years providing clinical Spiritual Health care to Mental Health, ICU, Palliative Care, NICU, and trauma units. In this environment I have learned to be an attentive caregiver, a conscientious space holder, a thoughtful listener, and a gentle companion. I am able to ask the more difficult questions at the right time, enabling our conversations to go to deeper places while maintaining a sense of support, care and presence.

I am using my experience in hospital care towards becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor. You will notice my lower rates to accommodate this process until I become registered with the BCACC. With a passion for prayer, intercession, scripture and spiritual growth, I created this site as a place to connect with individuals who wish to be met with understanding, who desire meaningful change, and who hunger to explore and deepen their relationship with Jesus. The unique combination of spiritual guidance, psychotherapeutic practices, and intercession is the heart of my practice.

My passions include exploring wilderness, playing music with friends, old vehicles, and creating/being part of a healthy community.

Testimonials

My life has been full of adventures and travel, interesting career opportunities, and close family and friends – but as I entered mid-life something shifted inside of me and things that mattered before didn’t have much meaning anymore. It was an isolating time and there weren’t many people in my life who could relate to these deep feelings. The only thing that brought me peace was nature – hiking, kayaking, long walks along the water, and quiet reflective practices. While the natural world soothed me it wasn’t resolving my despair. Then I found Michael and this period of profound unrest began to shift. He helped me understand what was happening. The meaning my mind had given to my life was changing, my identity and ego were dissolving, and I was awakening to the birth of my true self. This was an incredibly powerful time and through it all Michael was a kindred spirit, guide, wise elder, friend and confidant. We became teacher and student for one another and this brought so much richness to our work together. I am grateful to have met and worked with Michael, he is a bright light in this world.

My conversations and time spent with Michael have supported me to become more myself…to know (and accept) myself more wholly and to assert my truths more in my life. Because of working with Michael I now experience connection with spirit and love in ways that I didn’t before.

I can’t imagine where I would have been without your guidance… you gave me hope when I was ready to give up, I couldn’t see past the moment that I was in…. the big black hole that I called the abyss was closing in on me … I was so scared I would fall in and never get out…you kept pulling me back to reality…you are very special, you have a patient manner, a good ear and so very supportive. I will forever be grateful .. you were definitely my “guardian angel “ and still are to this day.

I had the blessing of reaching out to Michael in the early fall simply by a google search. In our short number of sessions (due to the changing seasons) he had an incredible effect on my growth and deep inner work. He pointed out so many things I couldn’t see in myself, my courage and kindness and many traits that I had no idea I possessed. He could see my growth when I couldn’t. I have since learnt that in order to be kind to others I indeed need to be kind to myself (which was not easy for me). Self love is a powerful and beautiful gift and it is not selfish. My path continued forward and upward with his help. My spiritual growth may be slow, but it is steady like a succulent plant and I have become the flower.

I can’t thank Michael enough for his help in my transformation and once the seasons change I’ll be seeing him again. All the best Michael and thank you for teaching me how to be authentic and kind to myself when I didn’t know how.
