About

As a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, Rick is a Certified Canadian Counsellor with over 20 years experience.

Story

I began my career in counselling in 1992 when I entered the helping field working as a Child and Youth Care Counsellor in a residential foster care community. Since this early experience I have worked with biological parents and their families, foster and adoptive parents and their families as well as individual children, youth and adults.

My goal is to help individuals and families see how they effect each other and how their way of viewing their world affects themselves and those around them. By gaining a new and clear perspective of our families and our current and past situations, we are better equipped to move forward with purpose and direction.

I mainly use cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment theory(along with Dr. Gordon Neufeld's work) and John Gottman's work in my approach to counselling and work from a Christian worldview. I encourage you to call and see how working together could be a life changing experience for you.

I welcome you to call and ask questions about the counselling services offered, how they are offered and why counselling may be a benefit to you and your family. My goal is to help individuals, couples and families be the healthiest they can be and I invite you to call today.

This fall I will be offering a Marriage Retreat in Beautiful Powell River. Keep an eye out for more information coming soon.
