Alan is a warm, calming and caring individual, whose desire is to make a connection with clients, and to journey with them on a holistic path (physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual). Alan’s goal is for clients to think differently about themselves, others, and the world around them, as it relates to their presenting issues and concerns. While Alan has a solution-focused approach, he understands the importance of being present and creating a safe, welcoming space where clients feel heard and understood. Alan’s background in a skilled construction trade, business ownership, management, as well as 25+ years of clergy work with youth, volunteers, public speaking and supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges, has given him a wealth of life experience. Outside the office, Alan enjoys travelling, staying active outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.
