Why Work With Craig: For 12 years, Craig didn't just practice; he trained other counsellors as an instructor in a private college. He has facilitated men’s groups and worked with high-risk youth in family services. His practice is a welcoming and safe space for a diverse client population, including those who identify as LGBT2QIA+.

“Change often involves letting go of strategies that we initially developed to protect ourselves. Giving up familiar patterns and habits (even those which are no longer helpful or adaptive) can be scary. I help clients regulate anxiety in the face of change. I support clients to tune into the wisdom of their core, adaptive feelings. When experienced fully, these healthy emotions provide important information about basic needs and guide us to act in ways that better fulfill these needs. This empowers clients to live more fully and freely, with greater satisfaction.

This inviting, experiential approach is particularly well suited to clients who want to enhance their sense of connection with themselves and others, and to people who want to experience greater self-esteem and self-trust.”
