In 2024 I founded Sophia to offer people a different kind of option when faced with some kind of challenge. I founded it to provide people with the opportunity to reflect on themselves, their values, and their place in the world. I am a philosophical counsellor which means, quite simply, that I counsel people philosophically.

I am certified in counselling from The American Philosophical Practitioners Association (APPA). You can find my APPA profile here.

I also have an Honours BA in philosophy from The University of Waterloo, a MA in philosophy from Queen’s University, and a BEd from The University of Toronto. I also taught philosophy for many years at an online secondary school and wrote two secondary school philosophy textbooks.

While I enjoy counselling people of all ages I especially enjoy working with teenagers and young adults. During my time as a philosophy teacher I quickly discovered that adolescents can ask profound and interesting questions. Adolescence is a fascinating time of life and I believe that young people are naturally very suitable candidates for philosophical counselling.

Whether you are young, middle aged, or old philosophy has an intrinsic value that can benefit all of us and I encourage you to drop me a line. I look forward to hearing from you!
