Trauma therapy and PTSD support for new dads, fathers in the postpartum phase, and individuals facing anxiety, depression, and addictions.
I’m Kevin, a Calgary-based Registered Clinical Social Worker specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My practice focuses on helping clients heal from trauma, manage PTSD, and navigate life transitions like becoming a new dad. I also provide therapy for depression, generalized anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), dysthymia, and stress-related disorders. I offer both in-person therapy and virtual sessions for convenience and flexibility.
Although I’m not a native Calgarian, I’ve called this vibrant city home for over 20 years, living here with my wife and daughter. I’m proud to have worked as a therapist in a range of clinical settings, including Urgent Care, Adult Psychiatry, and Addictions & Mental Health services, before establishing my private practice.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Calgary (2010) and have obtained Advanced Training in CBT and certification in Cybercounselling from the University of Toronto. Additionally, I completed my EMDR training through the EMDR Centre of Canada, which allows me to specialize in trauma and mood disorders. I have a particular interest in working with post-secondary students and fathers during the peri- and postpartum phases.
When I’m not in therapy sessions, I spend time outdoors with my family—whether it’s biking, hiking, or traveling.
