Thus far...

... my life's horizons have been broad and varied. I have many interests - though psychotherapy remains my calling. I am a husband, a father, and a grandfather. I have been a military officer, a pilot, a crisis counsellor, an entrpreneur, and a community wellness specialist. I believe this broad experience gives me a sense of grounding with respect to the "Big Picture," and it helps me better understand, empathize, and address the problems and challenges of my clients.
