Are you feeling stressed, stuck or discouraged?
Are you feeling alone and in need of someone to talk to ?
I’m here to help. I am a psychotherapist registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I help people take a good, hard look at some of the rigid, unforgiving stories they often tell about themselves in the mirror and to the world. I help them learn how to tell new stories, ones that explain who they are in ways that are more generous, more kind and more self-compassionate.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Dr. r. Neault, PhD., C.C.C.
Walking and talking with Adrian is like a sanctuary in the midst of life’s craziest moments for a busy professional. Adrian effortlessly paces his walks and talks to your comfort level, both physical and emotional. Although my walks with Adrian were as a colleague, not a client, I benefitted from each one of them and have recommended his unique approach to many of my clients. It is good to move, be outside, and have focus and clarity facilitated by a highly skilled counsellor and coach.
Jack K., R.S.W.
For me, outdoor counselling sessions offer a more natural and relaxed way to talk while being close to nature. Adrian is a colleague and an excellent facilitator who is adept at listening and helping people get the most from their work in an outdoor setting.
sandra, rCC
I was going through a challenging time personally. As I walked and talked with Adrian on the trail I felt myself relaxing and moving forward. I was able to just “be” there and feel the support of the earth and the strength of the trees holding me up and grounding me. Thank you, Adrian, for walking, listening and being with me as a friend and a colleague at that time.
