Serving Those Who Serve
Therapeutic Approach
“There is no greater love than this:
that a person would lay down their life for the sake of their friends.”
John 15:13
Having had the priviledge of serving our country for nearly a quarter-century as a member of the Canadian Forces, I've seen the effects a traumatic experience can have on an individual firsthand; having worked with many throughtout my career in varying capacities. I also acutely understand, and am sympathetic to the personal, relational, and familial difficulties and dynamics which most predominantly accompany a life devoted to service.
Thus, as a registered psychotherapist, it is my expressed goal to assist these families, in any way I can; and would certainly revel in the opportunity to help you and yours find a measure of tranquility and prosperity in the often turbulent, yet extremely fulfilling career of protecting others. So whether you are a veteran/serving member of our military, police, fire, or emergency services, or any of the varying professionals who routinely place themselves in harm's way for the betterment of all, it is my greatest desire to serve you with the same dedication you have others.

Therapy-on-the-Move; the Flip Flop Difference
There's little denying that the sheer act of reaching out for help is a dubious task for many. From the moment you begin to even consider the prospect of reaching out, up to the point of actually walking into one's office, or logging on to your first session, there's often much psychological and emotional turmoil that must be navigated. This is especially true when the situation/circumstance you're considering revealing to a professional is either difficult, and/or personal.
Having been a client myself, I understand full well the magnitude of decision involved in choosing the right therapist to walk with us along this journey. Thus, right from its very conception, I wanted Flip Flop Family Therapy to be a warm-welcoming environment that is safe and supportive to any and all who may find their way to my figurative doorstep.
On another note, as a result of having worked with a number of members from our various First-Responders community, and even moreso through the interaction(s) with my male clientele, I also came to realize that location matters. From the apprehensiveness of entering a "clinical" type setting, right down to the very act of walking into a building that is known to offer such services, more and more clients are confiding in me that it creates a measure of tension, and sometimes, even elicits adverse effects.
As it is, stemming from the genuine desire to mitigate and eradicate the stigma and circumstance surrounding mental health, while concurrently trying to ensure that ALL receive the help they seek, the Therapy-on-the-move concept was birthed!
Thus, in addition to regular office, telephone, and virtual services, I am also offering a travelling therapy service that provides the opportunity for us to meet at an alternate(more comfortable) location of your choosing? This may be a dock, a ball diamond, garden, golf course, hobby shop, beach, etc.; anywhere that would help you feel more at ease, while also helping to ease the apprehension and fear you may be experiencing around the notion of reaching out for help. And while I understand that I only mentioned my men and first-responders above, please know that this service is an available add-on to my entire menu; and is open to all.
So whatever your ailment, demographic, or dynamic (individual, couple, family, group), please know that you have a place here at Flip Flop Family Therapy that you can call home, and ever receive your therapy, your way;
"We've left a light on for you"
