About Me
I am a clergy member of the Eucharistic Catholic Church. I was a Jesuit priest for 13 years and was ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic Church. While my experience in spiritual direction is Ignatian (Jesuit), I am an eclectic practitioner grounding myself in God's desire to be present to us in love. I am also a Jungian Analyst, immediate past-President of my professional association, the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts, and a faculty member in our Analysts Training Programme and Public Programme. I am also a faculty member of the Guild for Spiritual Guidance as the Jungian Cultivator. My professional interests include comparative religion/spirituality, ritualization, symbolism, myth, and psycho-spiritual process.
I bring to the practice of spiritual direction and counselling a unique combination of spiritual practices, Jungian analysis, personal experience, and ongoing education to best serve the needs of directees that seek my assistance.
My whole life has been centred in the foundation of Christian beliefs found in Scripture, the lives of the Saints and teachings of the universal Catholic Church. Through my own spiritual journey, I have come to appreciate and understand that the wisdom and examples gained from the combined examples and teachings that the above provide point to an authentic human life grounded in personal worth and dignity.
I take seriously my responsibility to have the appropriate credentials that offers potential directees certainty of ethical, healthy boundaries in my relationship with them. I have accompanied many individuals with diverse needs and backgrounds in their spiritual journey both as a spiritual director and counselor. The walk can be smooth or bumpy, but if a directee or counselee engages in a meaningful, intentional spiritual quest and honest self-reflection, he or she will be embarking on the most important journey of their life.
I welcome journeying with you. Give me a call and we can discuss the best way to accompany you.
