I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) living in the Cowichan Valley offering virtual/remote sessions. I have been a counsellor for over 40 years.
I specialize in psychedelic integration, managing spiritual awakenings and encompassing transformation through transpersonal and archetypal experiences. Working in a variety of mental health capacities, my therapy focuses on depression, anxiety, altered state therapies, psychedelic integration, nature-relatedness, trauma resolution, mindfulness, and spiritual atonement.
I started The River Institute in 2019, as a school for spiritual counselling based on my two published books– The River Books (2007) and Soul Catching: Discovering sacred connections in our environments (2017).
In over 40 years of counselling, I have found the single biggest challenge clients is to have enough openness of mind to be willing and able to acknowledge their blocks and unresolved traumas. I find that altered state therapies create a state of entropy that is free from egoic defensiveness that allows a higher aspect of the psyche to emerge.
The other primary challenge I help clients with is a lack of connection-with themselves, with others and with nature. We have developed a dangerously toxic world view in our flat land reductionist societies which heighten a sense of separation, loneliness and meaningless. This world view is bringing us dangerously close to species and environmental suicide. Techniques like Soul Catching, which I share thru my courses and therapy, could bring us growth, atonement and relief from mental health suffering.
