Description
I joined the Canadian Army when I was 17 as a private. I retired 10 years later as a Platoon Commander with a UN Peackeeping Mission under my belt. What I learned in the Army was Leadership. It is this skillset that I bring to my style of counselling. I bring compassionate, but assertive, leadership to family sessions that reduce open conflict and help individual adult clients approach their addictions honestly.
