A space for you to connect with your authentic self.
I can guide you through conflict resolution, increasing connection and intimacy, and setting and achieving relationship goals.
When we find ourselves in a high stakes relationship, attachment wounds can come to the surface and we can find ourselves in avoidant and defensive postures with the people we care most about. This can lead to partners feeling frustrated with issues in communication in their relationships.
Solving problems and feeling connected again following conflict is important and when that becomes overwhelming, you can feel stuck or even like the relationship is failing. It is vital to feel a sense of control and know that the outcome you seek is achievable. Exploring ways to connect to a deeper sense of self can help you better understand your process, get at the heart of what you truly want, and motivate you to make lasting changes. In relationships this means approaching issues together, moving quickly to vulnerability and authenticity, and making it clear what you want and need in the relationship.
Relationships are my passion.
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Metropolitan State University of Denver with a focus in clinical counseling.
I am Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW) and member of the British Columbia College of Social Workers (BCCSW) as well as a member of the British Columbia Association of Social Workers (BCASW).
For nearly a decade, I have been supporting men and couples to improve their relationships with themselves and the people their care most about. Additionally, I have been creating and facilitating Men’s Groups which help men explore connection, vulnerability, and authenticity.
More about Stephen
Self-expression is one of my biggest interests. I enjoy art, film, and music especially. I have always been curious about the inner world of human beings and the unique ways in which they both see and interact with the world inside and out.
My goal is to support people in connecting with their authentic self so they can truly express themselves in all walks of life. I have found that, through this process, relationships become more meaningful and intentional.
Based in Victoria, I offer online couples counselling and men’s counselling for anyone living in British Columbia.
