People come to me at some of the harder passages in a life. A diagnosis that frightens you. A parent or a partner who is dying, and the exhaustion of caring for them. Someone you love who is still here, but who dementia has changed enough that you have already begun grieving them. Someone has died, and the months since have been worse than you expected. A marriage or a family has gone quiet, and neither of you wants the distance but nobody knows what to do about it. Or something has shifted in how you see your life, your faith, or yourself, and you’d like to think it through with someone who won’t rush you toward a conclusion.

My clients are women and men, from their twenties into their senior years. Some are new to therapy entirely. Others are at a turning point in family life, anywhere from new parenthood to caring for aging parents.

For eight years I was the person a congregation called when someone was seriously ill, dying, or grieving. That work taught me not to look away from the difficult parts, and not to hurry anyone through them.

In sessions I ask a lot of questions and tell you what I’m noticing. I’m not a blank screen. Clients share that they appreciate how human and real I am; I aim to be present and authentic in our connection.

Where it fits, we might use some quiet breathing or meditation together.

Mostly, I don’t think therapy adds an ingredient you’re missing. I think it helps you remember who you already are.

Ron is a Registered Psychotherapist with more than 25 years of experience working with teens, adults, couples, and families. He holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and has spent much of his career working internationally with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

Ron’s style is active, conversational, and grounded. He is comfortable with anger, avoidance, conflict, silence, and the unexpected, and he does not expect clients to arrive with the right words. He works collaboratively to understand what is happening beneath the surface and to help clients recognize how past experiences and relationship patterns may be shaping their lives today.

His primary approach is Emotion-Focused Therapy, and he also draws from EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, family systems theory, and mindfulness. .

Ron brings warmth, humour, curiosity, and directness to the work, adapting therapy to the person in front of him rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

If you’re looking for therapy that is thoughtful, honest, and willing to go deeper, you’re welcome to book a session with Ron.
