Why work with Peter?
Peter brings a steady, compassionate presence to therapy.
He takes the time to genuinely understand your experiences, creating a space where you can explore both your strengths and the places where you feel stuck. He’s especially helpful for those navigating grief or recurring emotional patterns that feel hard to shift.
With patience and curiosity, Peter helps you make sense of what feels overwhelming and guides you toward deeper connection, healing, and meaningful change.
Peter's Commitment
I pledge to be a dedicated student of how you experience your world.
Our work is a journey of mutual discovery, exploring how you relate to yourself and others.
We all have ways of relating to ourselves and the world that feel strong and healthy. But we also have places where we get stuck. Often, it’s this very sense of being stuck that brings someone to therapy. Others arrive carrying deep grief that longs for understanding and companionship.
“Why can’t I get past this?”
We’ll work together to understand and tend to those experiences, looking for meaning in the hard places while soothing the wounds that can feel overwhelming.
My goal is to help you deepen your connection with yourself and the world around you. By sitting together in life’s painful places, my experience and trust in the process tell me that healing and growth will emerge.
– Peter
Education
MDiv (Masters of Divinity) in Clinical Counselling, Tyndale University: Peter focused on trauma, grief, and attachment—three experiences that, when explored together, offer profound insight into the nature of our pain and the possibility of healing.
Undergraduate studies, Carleton University: Rooted in the humanities, Peter explored philosophy, religion, literature, art, and history. That early love for holding multiple perspectives in tension and harmony continues to inform his approach as a therapist.
Philosophies
Peter is continually influenced by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a gentle and proven approach that helps people move through pain and toward deeper connection and healing.
In his work, Peter draws from a variety of perspectives — including neuroscience, trauma-informed practices, personality and family systems theories, different psychotherapy traditions, and, when it’s meaningful for the client, Christian spirituality.
