My story
I live and work in Saskatoon, where my life is shaped by family, community, and a commitment to living in a grounded and intentional way. I’m a father, husband, brother, son, and someone who values depth and sincerity.
My path into this work was shaped by my identity reclamation following competitive hockey, and the subsequent fifteen years of self-inquiry, studying and teaching yoga, and a deep investigation into religion, philosophy, and the human experience. During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a research assistant exploring questions of spirituality, secularization, and the need for meaning-making systems in our contemporary Western life. This continues to inform how I understand human suffering and the search for purpose. I have had the privilege of serving as an oskapêwis (ceremonial helper) within Cree, Lakota, Ojibway, and Quechua traditions. These experiences inform my spiritually integrated approach to counselling and shape how I understand healing as relational and embodied. My theoretical orientation is influenced by humanistic-existential and analytic psychology.
I am a long-standing teacher and community leader at Ground Yoga, where I guide a diverse and committed community of practitioners. My teaching includes Yin, Hatha, and Vinyasa yoga, with an emphasis on nervous system regulation, postural intelligence, and inward inquiry. My background also includes years of Mysore-style Ashtanga practice, where I supported practitioners through individualized, self-led progression—emphasizing discipline, discernment, and embodied self-study.
Over the past decade I’ve taught yoga in studios, schools, treatment settings, and corporate and athletic environments. While working in private mental health and addiction treatment, I developed and led trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness programs for individuals recovering from PTSD, addiction, and concurrent conditions. I have also worked closely with youth navigating complex life circumstances, providing structured, relational care informed by Non-Violent Intervention and Complex Care frameworks. I view each person’s lived experience as a dynamic, unfolding story shaped by values, identity, struggle, and the desire for growth. This helps me support clients in exploring not just what hurts, but what matters in the context of their potential. In my therapeutic work, I offer a warm, grounded, and relational presence. I draw on mindfulness-based strategies, somatic awareness, and cognitive tools, and I’m especially interested in working with men, youth, athletes, and all people navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, stress, and life transitions.
I work collaboratively and tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs, values, and cultural context. I approach therapy with courage, sincerity, and a commitment to genuine connection. Above all, I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued in their journey of personal discovery. My hope is to walk alongside clients as they reconnect with inner steadiness, clarity, and the deeper commitments that give their life meaning.
