About Jeff
Background
​
I have worked as a teacher/ counsellor in the public school system for nearly 30 years with children of all ages from K-12. I completed my teaching credentials at TWU and SFU before the Masters (Counselling) program at UNBC. In 2018, I began my counselling practice, working primarily with couples and adults.
It seems to me that at some point most everyone needs to be heard by an objective listener – I look forward to this opportunity.​ I enjoy seeing motivated clients take strides toward fulfilling their potential. I've developed a keen interest in what motivates individuals and groups to reach their potential – I believe that everyone has the capacity to improve and to grow. No issue is too big or small -- If it matters to you, then I embrace the challenge of working toward solutions with you. It's very important to me that our time together is well-spent – Your time is too valuable to be wasted.
​
My wife and I have been married for over 30 years -- we have three adult children. After living for many years in northern BC, we moved to Kamloops in 2021 and are happy to call it home.
