Geoff completed a Masters degree in Social Work at Wilfrid Laurier University, and is registered through the Ontario College of Social Workers. He is trained and certified as a Narrative Therapist, and through the Ontario Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. It has been his privilege to have supported a multitude of people over the past 20 years—children and adolescents, couples and families, as they work through issues that interfere with their ability to adequately function and to achieve their goals. Geoff is skilled in supporting people as they work to overcome the problems associated with mood disorders, addictions, managing anger, grief and anxiety.
In family therapy Geoff believes that all members have a role in the construction of problems in the family unit, and supports them in understanding and responding to these relationship issues. In working with couples Geoff often deals with issues of divorce, extra-marital relationships and conflict. An important part of his work with couples is offering them ways to turn towards each other, to revitalize intimacy, and rediscover effective communication techniques.
Within his practice, Geoff strives to create a space where people are recognized for their inherent worth and uniqueness. He practices from a non-judgemental approach where all are respected and valued. During a session, he collaborates with people to assist them in recognizing their full potential and promoting empowerment in their lives. Geoff feels that he has a tremendous responsibility to attend, to listen, and to seek to understand.
The southern Georgian Bay area has been Geoff's home for over 30 years. When not working, he loves to cycle, play tennis and participate actively as a member of local groups and organizations.
