With my extensive practice and graduate teaching background, I bring a wealth of experience to the consulting relationship. I have supervised over 75 different therapists over the past 15 years and have received consistent feedback that I help therapists improve both their conceptual and practice frameworks. As well, as an Approved Supervisor with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, I have been specially trained to provide supervision to clinicians of all levels - from expert to beginner. I love the "Dual" supervision structure as this allows for a nice blending of perspectives and helps offset the overall cost of supervision.
I have received clinical supervision from Dave for the last 10 years. I must say that I have yet to meet someone with as much depth and insight as he has. I have always found great resourcefulness in his advice and probing. Dave remains at the cutting edge of his field. Beyond his exceptional supervisory skills and therapeutic knowledge, Dave has been a mentor, a coach and a source of inspiration for me. Dave not only knows his stuff but lives it out. Also, I have always been refreshed by the way he has meaningfully integrated his genuine Christian faith with sound psychology. Furthermore, Dave is real and well connected to what it takes to overcome deep loss and sorrows. It is my desire that more people will come to seek either counselling or supervision from this loving and wise master."

I’ve known Dave since January 2007, when I was a practicum student at CARES Counselling Center. Dave was the clinical director of CARES at the time and I stayed on as an intern until June 2008. A major part of my internship at CARES was the supervision I received from Dave once a week. This is the time that I cherished the most. As an intern it was evident that compassion, empathy and non-judgment were the conduits from which Dave suggested honest, direct and challenging feedback. I feel advantaged as Dave also offered perspective from the greater philosophical framework down to the micro-details. He has an admirable ability to articulate his thoughts and join in meaningful conversation. More importantly, through his philosophy of healthy, authentic living Dave helped me discover what it means to have compassion for myself. I could not thank Dave enough for the impact he has made on my development – personally and professionally.
