Register Therapeutic Counsellor
Transformation & Leadership Coach
Ever felt that you seem to be spinning your wheels in life, not really getting the traction needed to get you where you want to be? Clarifying your needs and desires and adopting more effective coping strategies can start you on the journey to a more authentic, peaceful you.
“It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it.”
Approach to Counseling
I help you gain clarity and insight into what your goals truly are. As you walk towards these goals, we will forge a new path to improved connection, trust, and relationships. I believe the strategies we use to get what we want often prevent us from getting what we want. We will work together to bust these strategies and to allow you to see their impact in your life. Then we will rebuild and work toward you showing up in life as your beautiful authentic self.
My clients describe me as curious, safe, easy to talk to, and most of all, express that they feel understood. Trust and respect are the foundation of counseling and therapy. We will go at your pace as you increase your understanding and perspective on your issues and concerns. We will work to build your abilities to address, respond to, make choices about, and deal with those issues.

Working with Gordon opens me up to new and more expansive opportunities for growth in my life. I am grateful to have found him - and appreciate that I can have my sessions on-line, in the comfort of my own home.”

“The help that Gordon has been providing me has taken me on a journey of discovery and self awareness. And although it has not been easy at times, his compassion and care always shines though and helps push me over the obstacles.”

“As always, Gordon was insightful and helpful. He is helping to grow and experience by true being and it is truly exciting and appreciative. I am eager for what I will learn next!”
