Nate works with children, caregivers, and couples navigating emotion-regulation, neurodiversity, and relationship challenges. As a BIPOC individual, he loves working with racialized individuals, and he draws from a systems-aware, social justice (feminist) perspective developed over 6 years of supporting families exposed to domestic violence.
His volunteer work with JDF Search and Rescue, Power To Be, and local faith communities has enriched his support for people processing traumatic situations, discovering spiritual identity, and desiring connection with the Natural World.
Nate is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), holds a Master of Counselling (City University) and has a Bachelor of Child and Youth Care (UVic). He is Level 2 Certified in Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP; in process), and is a trained Nature-Based Therapist.
Nate was raised and still lives on the unceded territories of the WSANEC and Songhees Nations (Victoria, BC). In his free time, he gratefully explores Coast Salish territory all across Vancouver Island in search of nature, connection, and adventure.
Nate is a Certified Nature-based therapist, level 1.
