Meet Curtis
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor specializing in Emotion-Focused Therapy, but I’m also someone who’s been where you’ve been, and have walked the journey of change and healing myself.
In therapy I treat you like a person, not a patient. I keep the process relaxed and conversational, I give you immediate feedback, and bring the energy of a human, not a sterile clinician.
By blending genuine compassion with an objective expert perspective, working with me provides a comfortable and safe environment to do the important work of feeling and healing.
Areas of Practice
Explore the different issues I work with to see if counselling with me may be a good fit for your needs
What to Expect in Therapy
I use a variety emotional, cognitive, and body-based therapy tools depending on the issues and the approach that we find works best for you.
My foundational approach and specialization is Emotion-Focused Therapy, a method of therapy that works directly with your feelings to go beyond coping with them to actually transform and heal them.
It often means sessions involve less thinking and more doing. Instead of talking about our feelings, we engage them right there in the session.
